This request is submitted in regard to a kinship placement involving two siblings who were recently placed in the care of their grandmother. Over the past week, both children have been ill, resulting in the grandmother missing a significant amount of work and incurring additional expenses related to their care. She is currently struggling to afford essential childcare items, specifically Pull-Ups in size 4T/ 5T and baby wipes. Any support in providing these items would be immensely helpful in offsetting the financial burden she is facing. Thank you so much! God bless!

Cl has recently had a car fire and lost 2 car seats and her vehicle. At this time she is unable to get to work, and get her kids to daycare so she can work. She is also unable to get her son to his doctor's appointments. Her and the Father of the baby combined have 2 vehicles that need to be repaired. They need a mechanic to diagnose and fix vehicle free of charge as their resources are limited.

This request is being made on behalf of a thirteen-year-old child who has recently been placed in the care of a non-relative. As they begin to navigate this new chapter together, the caregiver has moved into a safer, more stable home. However, they are in need of a few essential furnishings to help create a warm and welcoming environment.

Specifically, they are seeking a kitchen table with chairs (black, if possible) and a living room couch. These items will go a long way in helping the child feel a sense of comfort, stability, and belonging—transforming the space into a true home, rather than just a place to stay.

Thank you so much for all you do to support families and children in need. Your kindness makes a real difference. God bless you all!
