IL is a 17 year old kiddo who came into Children's Division custody due to parental addiction and then abandonment. IL struggles with anxiety and and stress related depression, and needs a really good home. IL loves to listen to music, he loves drawing, reading and sports. IL needs a good stable and loving home where he can finish school and make a plan for his future. Unfortunately, teenagers are really hard to place. We literally called 24 counties looking for a good home. We have *finally* found a great home for IL - but they can't take him yet - because they don't have enough bed space. We are asking for a bunkbed - so that there is room to accomodate the addition of IL into this great home. We need to place IL immediately - so - if you can help - it would be greatly appreciated!!

There are currently three children in care ages 4, 7 & 9. The mother and father are working very hard to get their home cleaned up. The worker has been out and they have done a good job at doing this. The home still has an odor that is believed to be coming from the furniture in the home given it's age and the belief it is soiled. We are seeking help with getting new living room furniture and a new dining room table for the family. We believe these gently used items will help reduce the smell and help us be able to reunify the children soon.

Single young mother with two small children in need of borrowing a car to take her driver's license test. Mother works overnights and can meet any time during the week in the afternoon to borrow car and take her test. Once this mom gets her driver's license, she can drive her car and take the children to appointments, she can go to work without using Uber or Lyft or catching a ride from someone else. This will help create more independence for this young mom. In the meantime, some Uber or Lyft gift cards would be helpful to this family until her driver's license is received.
