We are currently working with an aunt who took over the care of her nephews. She is a wonderful individual who needs groceries to help feed the new children in her home. She is currently working and due to the daycare situation, she has missed some days of work. Which caused her to have less income this week. She needs help with groceries and baby wipes to help support her nephews through this week and some days next week, till her next paycheck. I am not requesting money, but grocery items & wipes. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for supporting me and always coming to our rescue. God bless you and I hope you have a great day.

This child has been the foster care system for many years. In his young life he has learned some unhealthy habits. He is now currently developing and growing while his needs are being met. We are asking for the balance of a 10-week summer camp program to be paid. The total cost of the program is $1,700.00. KC Parks and Recreation has offered a 50% scholarship to attend camp. CASA is able to cover the cost of one week of summer camp. Leaving a balance $850.00. This would be a great program for child to continue to grow and learn skills.

I am currently working with a mother of two with severe mental health issues. She has been unable to work and owes $2200 for her gas bill. They turned off her gas this week and will not turn it back on until she pays $1250. We were able to find a community resource that will pay $500 if we are able to come up with the remaining $750. The mother is working to get into vocational rehab at this time as well as additional mental health services. The gas in her home is for her stove, hot water heater, and heat. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you for considering this request and for all your support in our community!

Single mother who is supporting her children and was recently able to obtain safe housing. This mom has been able to maintain her sobriety and provide a safe environment for her children. They are in need of two beds or bunk beds for the children. The kids are ages 16 and 12, and they are happy to be back with their mom. This is a big part of helping this family get back on their feet!

This mother was working 2 jobs while pregnant and trying to save up before giving birth. Her son came early though and was very premature. She has stopped working to be with him at the hospital and is attempting to breastfeed him since that is best for all babies but especially premature babies, but she now cannot afford her rent. She will likely be off for at least 8 weeks. Her rent is $1,300.00. The mother may be able to return to work after 8 weeks to maintain her livelihood, but in the meantime needs extra support since she had tried to plan for this event and the baby had other ideas about when to be born Updated on May 10, 2023 by an Agency Worker
Mom now has an eviction notice with a baby about to come home from the NICU and this request is even more urgent. Help would allow this baby to go home with his mother.
