Help send a young man to Homecoming! Lincoln County has a young man in foster care, who just turned 18 years old. He has been in foster care for eight years, and his biological parent's rights have been terminated. He has been lucky enough to have friends' parents take him in and give him a safe plan to stay. He is a social butterfly and now has a girlfriend. He would like to be able to take his girlfriend to Homecoming, and to attend her Homecoming at a neighboring school. However, he doesn't have the money saved up for suit rental, corsages, and to be able to take her out to dinner both nights. We are requesting money to be able to make these memories really special for him. Any amount of money will help!

For the vehicle to be serviced and the shift interlock solenoid to be replaced. The mother recently had the catalytic converter replaced but the car is still having issues. The vehicle is a 2004 Honda Accord. The mother is currently employed and is trying to save any extra money to be able to financially cover any issues in the future.

I have a teen who is going into her freshman year of high school and wants to get her hair done. She gets it braided and has extensions put in. She wants to look good for her first day of school and for her yearbook pictures. I am told this is on the more expensive side and we could use assistance covering the cost.
