This request is for an uncle who was recently able to take placement of his three teenage nieces and nephew. He secured housing in an apartment. The bedrooms are upstairs and require a secondary exit for licensing purposes. In order to meet this requirement, he will need a fire escape ladder for the upstairs bedrooms. He is also in need of a 5lb capacity fire extinguisher for licensing purposes. This uncle uprooted his life in Tennessee and moved to Missouri so that he could care for these children. He secured housing, employment, and was able to take placement of the children in under 3 months from the time he moved. He has no disposable income at this time due to paying all of the bills, driving the children back and forth to school so that his nephew doesn't have to switch schools at the end of his senior year, and not receiving his first maintenance payment from the state yet. Any help getting these items for his licensing would be very much appreciated.

This family has two of their four children at home. The children have been in care for 15 months, and they have exhausted most of their savings from paying for rentals to visit their children in Rolla. The courts have ruled that the other two children, who have numerous medical appointments, require a reliable vehicle. On top of this, their apartment is being sold, and they are being forced to move, which is clearing out the rest of the money they have coming in. To have a reliable working vehicle, it would need a new windshield. The estimated cost to fix it is $295. Additionally, there are late fees and titling fees of $200, as well as property taxes of $91. Any help in getting this car fixed and made legal would be greatly appreciated, as it would help reunite this family. Any help would be greatly appreciated for this family that has just reunited.
