A mother and her children are fleeing a domestic violence situation, and his home was the home they were living in but the utilities are in her name. She has notified the Evergy and KCMO water that she is not living there anymore. She needs $210 for apartment admin fees and she needs to bring the electric and water current so they can transfer to her at the new place. She has moved hotels twice to stay away from her abuser, and she is going to start counseling services once she is stable in her living arrangement.

She is helping herself and needs a little more help, not a handout, but a hand up. Children's Division saw the family in a hotel yesterday and they have gone to shelters for food. The mother has a stable job and if she can get the help with these needs, she will be on her way to financial independence and not reliant on her abuser for shelter.

A foster family currently has multiple children in their home with varying ages from different families. The placement has two pack and plays, but has been told they are needing to obtain cribs for two of the children in their home. One of the children in the home has a sibling in the home. All of the children in the home have bonded with both of the infants and would be very sad to see them leave if the children are not leaving to return to their parents.

Single mom of 4 kids; mom and dad are not together but up until recently they were co-parenting well and sharing expenses well. Dad has not been helping mom with the car payment as agreed upon. Mom is one month behind on the payment and is not sure how she will get caught up. Mom needs a safe mode of transportation to get the kids to/from school and herself to/from work. Total due is $631. Any help is very appreciated!

This hard working, expecting mom had a challenging situation with work while pregnant, and she got behind on her rent. She has gained new employment and is actively looking for additional income, but she needs help getting caught up. Any small portion of help would be appreciated to help her get back on her feet as she gets ready to welcome baby!
