Child is aging out of care on the HCBS waiver. Child often chooses to spend her time sitting and watching TV or reading. Child needs enjoyable ways to continue movement, so child would benefit from an indoor exercise bike or adult sized tricycle to maintain a healthy lifestyle

These two boys are being reintegrated back into their home with their mom. She has been working really hard trying to get all of the things that are needed but is struggling with these two items.

This15 y.o. child participates on the football team at his high school, he also runs track to stay in shape for football as that is his main focus. Football and his team has been this child's strongest connection as he has moved from home to home since entering care over a year ago. This child also had a major surgery to fix his urinary tubes earlier this year, leading to an absence of football and exercise, that this kid thrives on. Recognizing this, his placement mother signed him up for a summer strong program for his high school. Her son and several of their teammates are also participating, allowing to get ready for football season and connect with peers. Please help provide this opportunity.

This youth is 15 and wants to earn more independence, as well as have an item that can help her with coping with life stressors and her previous trauma. She wants to be able to download games and also be able to listen to her music. This is the first step to her earning a phone with the home she is at. She has been successfully out of a residential facility for going on 5 months, which is a major accomplishment from her past. We found the "onn 7" Tablet, 32GB, (2024 Model)" that has enough of the features she is wanting, but can also have parental controls. It is $59.00 at Walmart. Any similar tablets with the same features will also work. A safety case for it would be nice as well, but not as important at this time. 

The parent for a prior request communicated the incorrect amount for her deposit on apartment. She thought it was $210 but it is actually $300. She is needing to have additional $90 in order to get moved into her new place. TY to the group who offered to pick this up once I resubmitted it TY She is starting over with her kiddos in a new safe place and her first time being on her own. She is grateful for any help that she can get.

A newly licensed family has taken long-term placement of a youth who recently turned 18. He has been in foster care for most of his life, but has not been able to find stable placement. As he is getting very close to aging out, he desperately wants to gain the skills needed to succeed in adulthood. One of those skills is learning to drive. He has never driven a car but wants to learn. His placement would love to enroll him in a certified course so he can check that skill off his list! They have been able to help him get enrolled in other programs to support his goals, but the driver's course is beyond their means at this time. Please consider supporting this youth in gaining independent living skills.

Greetings, I am reaching out on behalf of one of my wonderful foster children. I humbly request your support in assisting a full-size bed, mattress and bedding for a child in our community who is in need of an upgraded bed now that she is getting bigger and is growing out of her current space. If you are able to contribute, your generosity will make a significant difference. Thank you for considering this request.

There’s single mother with a 16 your old son in jeopardy of being evicted. She is recently divorced and has had to file for bankruptcy. Over the past few months maintaining the household had become more difficult. She received an eviction notice and is facing that notice being enforced next week, if she cannot pay $2257.

We have a family who is really struggling. There are 4 children in the home all middle school aged and younger. They are requesting assistance with their electric bill that way they can still cover their other bills. The full amount for their electric bill is 310.54. However, anything would help them to get back on their feet. They have fallen behind on their phone bill and rent as well. If they received assistance with their electric bill, they could cover their other bills without having to prioritize any of them over the others. Thank you!

6 year old girl in need of items for an upcoming trip to Texas for her brother's surgery. Her brother has a genetic medical condition and is going to have surgery in Austin, TX in June on his jaw/face for reconstruction and possible tracheotomy removal. The family will be driving to Austin and renting a place to stay for several weeks. The family is hoping to gather items to help their child manage the long drive as well as the many hours she will spend at the hospital with her brother. Items that might be helpful would be coloring books, drawing supplies, crayons, markers, colored pencils, small lego sets, medical play kit (she wants to be a doctor) and she loves mermaids and unicorns. This family would be very appreciative of any help that could be provided.
