Hello, I am submitting a request to help an 18-year-old youth who recently aged out of foster care. He is currently attending a university in San Antonio, in a Supervised Independent Living placement (SIL) College dorm. This is a new location for him as his home previously has been in Houston. This is his first home that he has lived independently after living in foster homes. The youth is currently struggling with purchasing groceries. He would also greatly benefit from a bicycle to help him get to classes and to help him run errands. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Children were placed on 6/17/25 with caregiver, grandmother to children. Grandmother is on limited/fixed income and unable to afford to purchase twin beds for 2 out of 3 children placed in the home. Grandmother was able to purchase toddler bed for 3 y/o boy but is in need of two twin beds, one for 6 y/o boy and other one for 7 y/o girl and one dresser for children to store their clothing in. Children are doing well in placement and enjoying their summer break. Grandmother says she doesn't want bunk beds wants two separate twin beds once for each child. Any assistance can provide the family with would greatly be appreciated.

We are currently working with a young boy, age 7, who has Down Syndrome and significant medical needs. He was recently removed from his home due to ongoing substance abuse and domestic violence. He is now in the care of his maternal aunt, who made the decision to take him in and has made major changes in her life to provide for his safety and support that he needs. During a recent visit, the aunt shared that the child has been sleeping either on a blow-up mattress or on the couch. While they do have space in the home for a proper bed, they are currently waiting in hopes that one might become available through an online marketplace or donation. I assured her that I would do everything I could to help.

A single mother of two children is in need of beds for her children for safe sleep. The mother is currently in a shelter and moving out of the shelter into a 2-bedroom home this week for her the children. At this time the children have nowhere to sleep. The children are a 6-month-old male baby and a 2-year-old male child.

Child 3-year-old male was placed in home recently with caregiver grandmother. Grandmother is on very limited/fixed income and unable to afford to buy bed/dresser for child. Child is thriving and doing well in placement with his grandmother. Child loves to play with dinosaurs. Child loves coloring and enjoys going to the park in neighborhood grandmother resides in. Any assistance can provide the grandmother with would be greatly appreciated.

two young sisters, ages 6 and 12, were recently removed from their home due to unsafe conditions involving substance use and violence. The removal, though necessary for their safety, came at a heartbreaking cost: the loss of their home, their two baby siblings, and the only life they had ever known. With no immediate family able to take them in, the girls faced the strong possibility of being separated and placed in a shelter-separated from each other and remaining sense of security. DFPS reviewed history and reached out to their maternal great aunt, a young woman living in a modest one bedroom apartment. She had limited financial means and was just beginning her own life-Recently engaged and unprepared for this life-altering news. Still, without hesitation this aunt said yes. Though her home is small, she made space for the two girls. They arrived that night with only the clothes on their backs and a few small items. Since then, their aunt has done everything she can to meet their needs, despite the financial and emotional strain. Aunt reached out, asking if anyone can help her find a booster seat for the 6 year old-just one of many basic items they lacked. Aunts humble request reflect the many unseen needs that come with caring for children on short notice. Though the future is uncertain, her strength and compassion have already changed the girls lives. With support I can see this family has a chance to begin again-together.

The two children are being placed in a kinship home and the family is in need of 2 twin beds for the 2 girls who are 2 and 3 years old. The beds will provide each child with their own safe place to sleep.

Household composition consists of a single mother with 4 children reported to struggle with autism. During the school year the children contracted lice and have exhausted over the counter remedies and pediatric prescription lice treatment. Mother is struggling to make ends meet to be able to afford having the children treated professionally at a lice clinic.

It appears like the goal has been reached and more! will need to coordinate asap to get the funds to the family thank you everyone

Grandparents are currently caring for 6 children in their home. They are in the process of adopting 3 of them however they are need of assistance with fans for the upcoming summer months. We all know the summer in San Antonio gets pretty brutal and they live in a older home that may not be able to keep up with the heat. 3-4 fans spread out in the home would be helpful for this family.

This set of grandparents could use the community's assistance with a washer and dryer. Their washer and drier gave out unexpectedly and they just received placement of their grandson. Thank you in advance for being a blessing to a kinship family in need.

We have a 60 year old grandmother who is asking for a used refrigerator to help store the families food and medications. The grandmother is diabetic and take 3 forms of insulin, one type 4 times a day, one type at night, and the last for once a week. The medications that are stored take up most if not all the door space used for storage. This grandmother is trying to raise 5 grandkids, 3 girls ages 10,11, and 13, as well as 2 boys ages 4 and 9. She get no support from the biological parents and receives no child support for the kids as well. This would help save on food and medicine waste since she would have a p[lace to store all her needs without worry as to whether the items would spoil, especially as we enter the hot summer months.

The mother will reach out to CPS Energy to make payment plans, but would to be caught up on both payments, if possible.
