A single young female parent has three children who are not school aged. The female has been having a difficult time getting a job. The mom is asking for a booster seat for the 3 year old female child. The mom is in the process of losing her housing. The booster seat can be dropped off at the Children's Division office.

Grandmother owns her trailer. The grandmother has some health challenges. There is a disabled elderly person residing in the home and a child with a disability in the home. The front entrance porch on the trailer has fallen in. The elderly disabled person fall on the porch and had to be taken to ER. The grandmother needs help to have the porch repaired or rebuilt as they do not have the skills to fix the porch. The family could possibly help pay for some of the materials. It is a small porch with three or four steps so they can get in and out of the trailer. I am estimating the cost to be around $800 to $900.00. Not sure of the cost. Hopefully someone can build the porch or help.

A young mother of 3 small children (ages 5mos, 1yo, and 2yo) is working towards reunification. She has two jobs, just got a car, and is making steady progress in the juvenile case. Mother resides in an apartment in Cape Girardeau and only has one small window (not very efficient) unit in her home. I was at the apartment last week and it was very warm. I am requesting two window units for the family to be able to have air conditioning in the home. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A mom who is living separate from the children's father is needing a vehicle to get to her appointments and visit with the children. She is currently looking for employment, attending treatment and visiting with the children. There are three children aged 5, 3, and a baby. The children are placed with family in the St. Louis area so visits have been hard to depend on others to help with transportation.

A family is looking for help in completing their new home. This family has a child in care and has the goal of that child going back home shortly. They are looking for help to tie their home and family together as they reunite with their child. They are looking for help in obtaining a washing machine and a dryer. Helping this family obtain these items will assist in their efforts to make their home welcoming and complete with the feelings of cleanliness. We thank you for the consideration.
