Help Strengthen a Bio Family

High Urgency Request
This request pertains to mother and 4 children: (age 3, Male), (age 6, Male), (age 7, Male), and (age 8, Female). The family is in need of a fridge and stove. Currently, the family is unable to purchase a fridge or stove, making it so they have to go buy food daily or eat out. This is ultimately putting a financial strain on the family in not being able to store items that require refrigeration or conveniently cook meals. A fridge and stove would promote the lasting safety of the children as the appliances would aid in adequately caring for the children.

DCCCA is assisting a medically high needs child that has to be weighed daily for his G-tube feedings. It has been requested by his doctors that the family get a Bluetooth bath scale that can keep track of each of his weights and the results will be sent directly to Children's Mercy. The family is overwhelmed with current bills and the donation of this scale would improve their lives drastically, and make reporting to all their child's doctors so much easier. Any assistance to this family would be a huge blessing, thank you! If you are able to assist I can forward an amazon link of the appropriate scale!

A single working mom is so close to reunifying with her three children (9 months, 2 years and 3 years). Mom is a survivor, and incredibly motivated and hard-working. She is bonded with her kiddos, and is an active parent who loves cooking for them, and playing outside when the weather is nice. The team wants to start mom and kids on overnight visits, however she is needing beds in place for the children first. She has been trying to save, ask family for help and find low cost items locally but has had no luck. We need a crib frame, mattress and bedding for baby. The two year old would do great in a toddler bed and needs the frame, mattress, sheets/blanket/pillow. Lastly oldest brother needs a twin mattress, frame, sheets/blanket/pillow. Mom has been very focused on providing for the kids, and is looking forward to celebrating their reunification soon! Thank you for your consideration to help this family, God Bless!

High Urgency Request
X. (age 15) is a young lady placed in foster care. Sadly the foster home had an electrical fire that started in the attic, just above her bedroom. The damage from the fire destroyed her bedroom and all her belongings. She has endured a lot of stress and loss just being in foster care, and now has lost the possessions she has. Her foster parent and St. Francis are working to help replace her items, as well as a pending insurance claim. However, she is still in immediate need of clothing - including shirts, sweats, leggings, bras, socks and shoes. A gift card for shoes would be easiest, as various brands fit differently. X. and foster mom are currently staying in an extended stay hotel, and any support during this unexpected and difficult time would be a blessing. Thank you, God Bless!

Healthy Families Newton needs your help. We are in need of some basic supplies for families. We are looking to gather diapers, and wipes. All sizes of diapers are welcome Newborn to 4T-5T pull ups. We are also in need of diaper ointments, and baby hygiene items. According to babybasicsinc.org 33% of families struggle to afford diapers. $120.00 is the average amount of money spent on diapers per baby per month. That is an average of 10 diapers a baby needs per day. Without consistent diaper changes, babies run the risk of infections, diaper rash and other significant health problems; problems that require medical attention and can put additional financial strain on the families. Which increase stressors and can potentially increase the risks of child abuse and neglect. Help overburdened families in need by filling a pack n play. If you are interested, we will bring over the flyers, pack n play and sign and will leave it at your organization for 2-4 weeks (you chose). We will then come by and pick it up when it is full or when your designated time is complete.

A single, motivated and resilient mom is needing help furnishing her family's apartment. She has three children (5, 9 and 10). This bonded family has overcome a lot, and they are all thankful and appreciative of the services they receive in home through their therapeutic worker. At this time, the kitchen is needing fully stocked with the basics of cups, plates, bowls, silverware, pots and pans and cooking utensils and a kitchen trash can. The bathroom still needs a shower curtain rod, liner and trash can. The family has bed frames, but they need assistance with two twin mattresses, four blankets, four pillows and two sets of twin sheets. Lastly, a couple curtain rods and curtains can help the family keep the house warmer, and cooler as needed and provide privacy. This little family would be incredibly grateful for any help. Thank you for your consideration!

A who is a 14-year-old male, and his brother, L, who is a 16-year-old male are living now with their great-grandmother. GG was living in a studio apartment before the boys lived with her. Now she has moved into a 2 bedroom apartment so the boys could have a bedroom. GG is a single grandmother on a fixed income. The family is in need of a stackable washer and dryer for the apartment to make laundry easier and save money. They have been spending up to $60 a week going to the laundry mat which is very stressful on the great-grandmother and taxing physically. New or gently used would be such a blessing and they would be so grateful. Thank you for anything that you can do.

This is a very sad request that we are desperately needing help with. K who was a very young boy passed away while in foster care. Thankfully Saint Francis Ministries has been able to help the family with the cost of the funeral services. This heartbroken mother would like to be able to purchase a headstone where her little one was laid to rest. The cost of the headstone is $1774.13. If God moves on any of your hearts to help provide this need, it would be such a blessing with this life-altering event. Thank you so much for your empathy, prayers, and generosity for this mom in her brokenness.
