mom of two boys aged 14 and 10 desperately needs help cleaning her home and getting it up to community standards. Mom's house was condemned for being a hazard. She fixed the main concerns, and the house was uncondemned, but she still needs help cleaning the inside and outside of home. She has no cleaning supplies, and no vacuum. The carpet is very dirty with suspected animal urine and dog hair. There is a vacuum at Walmart for $25 that mom could use to clean the carpet.

Married couple that does not have a suitable family support system needs to locate a supervisor/parent aid for the court ordered supervised visitation. The family does not have anyone that can supervise the visits. They have two children that are in care age 2 months and 1 years old. The supervisor/parent aid is responsible for transporting the children to and from the visit. The supervisor/parent aid would monitor the visit and make suggestions regarding parenting skills. We are looking for funding to cover this cost or someone who would be willing to do the weekly supervised visits.

We have a single mother who is caring for her two children ages 10 and 13. Their home has been condemned due the cluttered conditions of the residence. The family would benefit from a haul away dumpster service as they are needing to declutter their home and get rid of a lot of items. If the family is able to clean their home and get rid of unnecessary items, they will be able to return to the residence and prevent the children from being placed in foster care. The mother does not have a working vacuum cleaner and needs ways to deep clean the carpet and surfaces. Any portion of the request would be greatly appreciated.

Two children, an 11 year old boy and 9 year old boy, came into foster care late Friday evening. The boys had no items but the clothes they were wearing. Numerous foster homes were called but none could be placement due to the 9 year old's Special needs, as he wears pullups and is unable to go to the bathroom by himself due to a birth defect. An uncle has been found that has the space for the boys has been found and he and his fiancé (they also have 2 children) agreed to take the kids in. However, they are in a pretty tight situation financially and need some assistance to get them in their home and fully meet the children's needs. The temporary foster placement can only keep the boys until tomorrow 1/30, so we are hoping to get the boys with the uncle by tomorrow when they get out of school. The family needs help with groceries such a cereal, any canned goods, peanut butter, bread, lunch meat, or any non perishable items. The boys also need clothing, they are roughly the same size. Their sizes are: Boys XL in pants, Men's Medium in shirts, Men's medium in underwear. They needs things like sweat shirts and sweat pants, T-shirts, socks, and underwear. The 9yr old is in need of pull ups and wipes he fits in a Men's Depends in size small. The uncle has recently become unemployed and searching for work, but unfortunately this has put them behind on the past months utility bills, electric bill of $378.03 and gas bill of $260 they need assistance with. Currently there are no foster homes that can take these boys. Assistance with these items will help make this relative foster home placement possible and give these kids a home that meets their needs. Thank you!
