As a case manager from KVC Permanency, a mother whose child recently came into care has reached out to me regarding a water bill that DCCCA previously said that they would help this mother pay. The mother then received a notice recently that her water was going to be shut off ASAP. Her bill is through waterone in Johnson county and in the amount of $115.77. This mother is attempting to have visits in her home with her child that is in care and needs to be able to have running water while she is over.

A seventeen-year-old who recently entered foster care has been seeing a therapist whom he has seen for many years. She knows his situation well and he feels very comfortable seeing her for therapy. He says she's "awesome." Upon learning that the teen entered foster care, the therapist applied to take Medicaid so she could keep him as a client. However, this process takes several weeks and the teen and his placement do not have a way of paying the therapist in the meantime. Any support with this request is greatly appreciated!

This family is so close to reunification and are just waiting on housing. They have already made payments towards the housing payment and have also had some help from grandmother but are still needing the rest in order to move in.

A teenager was battling a significant heart condition and sadly passed away last week. The family is devastated and is relying on God and the community’s prayers in order to continue to put one foot in front of the other. The young man had plans to become a pilot and loved his family deeply. He was raised by a single mom and his siblings are absolutely devastated. His Mom has not put money aside for his funeral as this was an unexpected death. If a church is willing or able to assist with funeral expenses, the family would greatly appreciate the financial contribution. Thank you for your consideration.

We are reaching out to request your assistance for a family we are supporting. A mother and her daughters are facing difficult circumstances, including the loss of two parents and the removal of one child from the home. Due to these significant life events, the mother has been unable to work and is now behind on several payments.

DCCCA has done what we can to help and has explored community resources, but unfortunately, we have not found any viable solutions. The mother is seeking assistance to cover half of her rent. Additionally, DCCCA has already helped by paying the electricity bill, which was disconnected this morning.

We understand that the amount needed is substantial, and we are hopeful that multiple churches can come together to support this family. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. We sincerely hope you can help us keep this family together and prevent eviction and further distress.
