A grandmother has been caring for her infant granddaughter since she was released from the NICU and has been struggling to make ends meet since then. The baby recently celebrated her first birthday and is close to graduating from her special needs program!

Grandmother's washer recently started acting up and she does not have the money to cover the repairs, as her car is already needing work done. With infant clothes and toys constantly needing washed, this grandmother is in need of repairs as soon as possible to continue to care for her granddaughter. A local appliance repairman has estimated the cost of fixing (including service fees) to be around $120. We are asking for financial assistance to pay the invoice once repairs are completed.

Grandmother and child live in Harrisonville, we expect that the invoice can be paid over the phone.

Good afternoon. I am requesting community assistance to help a older pregnant homeless youth on my caseload with getting some temporary food assistance. The youth in question is 19, pregnant, and a MO Children's Division Foster Youth. The youth is 4-6 weeks pregnant and is currently couch surfing until a permanent safe placement option can be found for her. We are requesting $100 gift card at maybe Walmart to help the youth purchase food for the next month. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Good afternoon. I am requesting community assistance to help a 19 yr old pregnant homeless Foster Youth with getting a temporary storage unit to store her stuff until she can find stable housing. The youth in question is currently homeless and is couch surfing until we can locate a stable placement option. All of her personal items including clothing, , etc were being stored at a friends home but her "friend" no longer wants the items in her home and has threatened to throw everything out. We are requesting $150 to help with obtaining and paying for a 2-3 month storage unit so the youth has a safe place to store her belongings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Family is needing assistance with either first months rent or deposit on house. Familys current home is infested with fleas and mice. Parents report landlord has not been assisting with issue (January is when it started). Parents are on disability and fixed income. Family had to get rid of their mattresses and are sleeping on air mattresses at this time due to the fleas.

I have sisters in our community that are in need of a good night's sleep. Something every child deserves. Right now they are without proper beds and I am asking for funding for two twin mattress and a bunk bed frame for them. This will make such a big difference in their lives giving them comfort and a sense of security being able to sleep in the same room with each other. I think those with siblings will know how important it is to grow that bond which why I am asking for a bunk bed. Thank you in advance for always helping my families!!

The client was preparing to leave for work when she began experiencing car trouble. Her boyfriend, who was present at the time, stepped outside to help. As he was working on the vehicle, a car pulled up behind them. Without warning, masked men jumped out and opened fire. Her boyfriend was shot three times. The client herself was struck in the face by a bullet. One of the bullets even pierced her child’s car seat, a haunting reminder of how close this tragedy came to being even worse.

Since this traumatic event, the client has faced significant emotional and financial hardship. The violence she endured has not only left her physically and emotionally scarred, but also derailed her ability to maintain financial stability. She is now struggling to get back on her feet and provide a safe home for her child.

She is currently behind on a critical utility bill totaling $1,195.64 a balance that is preventing her from moving into a new, safer home. She is humbly requesting $800 in assistance toward this bill to help regain stability and security for her and her child. Any support would be a lifeline during this incredibly difficult time.

A mother with two young children in foster-care is actively leaving a domestic violence situation today. This mother left the home with nothing but the clothes on her back. Please consider donating a gift card for Walmart to this mother. She needs clothing items, hygiene items and other necessary items. This is an critical need.

This mother is in need of essential supplies for her newborn, with a particular urgency for a car seat and a pack n play. Efforts are being made to obtain these items through various resources such as Charlie’s House and Samuel Rogers, though success has yet to be achieved. While she speaks Sudanese Arabic, she faces challenges in reading both Arabic and English, making communication a challenge. However, she is aware that there are compassionate individuals working to assist her in acquiring these necessary items. Currently, she and her baby are still in the hospital, with a discharge anticipated for tomorrow. Let’s come together to support her in this critical time.

This family who lost their home in a house fire is in need of some new beds for their new home. Mom is who battling some medical problems is trying so hard at getting their home back together. She could use some help from her community in getting these items so that they have some new beds and a place to sleep in their new home. She has battled through multiple health problems and the house burning down and continues to fight everyday. She could use the help of her community to build her back up. Thank you in advance for helping her!!

We have a mom of 3 in our program who was admitted to the hospital and is worried about providing her kids with school supplies for the year. They need thins like school pants, backpacks, folders, notebooks, etc. We are requesting a gift card to walmart to help this family get what they need. The kids go to Kauffman and are in grades from 7th-11th. If this request is met it will go towards helping this mom provide new school clothes and gear/supplies for her kids as they enter this next year of high school, which should otherwise be an exciting time for them. Thank you.

Mother of a medically complex child is struggling to afford her rent at this time; her daughter was inpatient at the hospital for 5 weeks due to severe illness. Mother was unable to work consistently as she was needed at bedside for her daughter. Mother is working full time trying to afford their rental payment but has fallen behind on payments. Mother's bills are adding up as she tries to support her children. Any amount would help this family during this hardship!
