Need was not fulfilled at all; closing this request at this time and resubmitting to see if this need can be fulfilled for the family; thank you!

Children are placed in the care of mother. CPS is involved to ensure that mother is meeting all of the needs of her children and especially keeping them safe and protected while in care. Mother has relocated out of the city and is trying to make huge changes for herself and to provide a better place for her children and have them be as successful as possible.

A relative has an infant in her care to ensure that the child's overall health, safety and well-being remains protected at all time. Relative is a single parent herself and has stepped up for a family friend to ensure that the infant did not go into foster care placement. Relative ensures that the infant is able to continue preserving a bond with his mother and she ensures that all of his needs are met and her own children's needs are met.

closing request at this time; most of the need was met and thank you so much to those who fulfilled that need for the family; we really appreciate it; closing this request and resubmitting for the two items that were not fulfilled; thank you!

Children have moved amongst family members in an attempt to avoid foster care placement. They are now with a relative who is able & willing to care for them long-term. They need some basic supplies to get them settled.

Children have been removed from the mother's care due to significant safety concerns. There are three children placed in a relatives care and is now being cared for greatly. The children's needs are being met and ensuring that the children are taken care of and are safe at all times. Relative had taken all three children into her care and is doing it all on her own without the support of the parents of the children. Relative is in need of support from community resources in order to ensure that these children's basic needs are being met.

Two children ages 2 & 3 were recently discharged from foster care to the care of their grandmother. Grandmother was not aware her grandchildren were in foster care and as soon as she learned of this she made the necessary arrangements to get the children out of foster care. Both children have very high lead levels which have resulted in some lifelong effects. Both children are nonverbal and one has behavior issues as a result of his inability to express himself clearly. Grandmother had one toddler bed but needs another toddler bed as she only has a pack n play for the younger child. She is also in need of linens for two toddler beds- 1 princess or female theme and 1 superhero or male theme. Grandmother has also requested some toys for the children to assist them in learning and developing such as Leap Frog or other light up electronics for toddlers and any books to help her encourage reading and help teach them verbal skills.

Child recently placed with a resource to prevent entering foster care after a traumatic event with his immediate family. He needs a school uniform for the upcoming school year and the resource has limited funds to purchase these items for this child's first year in school. He is required to wear tan pants and all black sneakers. He could use some socks and underwear as well to help him start the school year off fresh.

Newborn infant recently placed with a resource as he could not safely remain with his parents. Resource has limited funds, works two jobs and has her own two children to care for. While this resource is in the process of obtaining WIC for the infant, she needs some assistance with getting formula for this baby (Enfamil powder yellow can). The resource also needs a baby bathtub as she is currently using the kitchen sink. The baby currently sleeps in a pack n play and the resource will need a crib, mattress and linens. Resource would be grateful for any help to assist her in caring for this infant.

Child was removed from mother and has bounced from place to place and is now with her father. Child (age 9) has been playing with lighters and has started some fires in the home. Family is in need of a lock box to store flammables, lighters, ect. Thank you so much.

Children ages 17,10, 9, recently placed with grandparents after being exposed to traumatic incidents while with their mother. Their father is currently in prison. They are in a new school district & due to the COVID pandemic, the grandparents have chosen to have the children take part in school via a hybrid model. 3 small desks would help the children stay organized & on task when learning from home. Two of the kids share a bedroom and are currently sharing a full size bed. Grandparents are looking to maximize space & give the kids their own bed. They are requesting either a loft style bed frame or a bunk bed style frame that could utilize a full size mattress on the bottom & a twin mattress on the top. Since they currently have a full size bed they would need a twin mattress for the top bunk or loft. Thanks.
