Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

High Urgency Request
The mother on this case was given an eviction notice and was requested to be out by October 31st, 2023. The mother was off work for 3 months due to having a broken foot and got behind on her rent. Due to her renting from her father and not having a lease agreement we are not able to assist in getting her rent paid up. The mother is trying to get a new place but has a past due bill from when she left her abuser. If this bill is paid, she will have a better chance of getting an apartment for her and her son before the October 31st deadline. This bill is an Evergy Bill.

This young adult is a Little Brother in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Kansas City. Recently his family has had financial struggles since his mother is a single parent who works at a factory in Kansas City and is unable to support her child with driver's education despite working over 40 hours per week. The hope is to help this young person obtain a driver's license so that he can get to school and work with more ease. Currently his mother has to drive him everywhere. He is completely dependent on his mom's schedule and often has to walk to get to his job that's over an hour away (walking).

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

Normal Request
Recovery has been a process for this mother of two girls, 6 and 1, yet she has worked hard to overcome so many obstacles. This mother was provided an amazing opportunity with the Missouri Apprentice ready program and recently became certified and as a laborer through Liuna Construction and General Laborers. This is a great big deal yet it comes with the loss of benefits immediately, childcare specifically. She owes $1110 due to losing her childcare assistance which has caused extreme hardship and stress for her with wondering "why am I trying to do better." This amazing opportunity has allowed her to help with our expansion which she has started yet not having childcare is going to be a barrier to continuing. She is needing help $1110 to get caught up on childcare at Browns Christian Academy.

High Urgency Request
Single mother with four high needs children needs assistance with rent to allow them to have housing. Mother works but often has to take time off due to her children's behavioral and medical needs, cuting into her paycheck. On top of this, her apartment is making her pay late fees and is not allowing her to split payments until she gets caught up, which the fees are making difficult. Mother needs assistance with rent so she can get caught up. If this month is paid off, she will be able to be caught up and will not have trouble paying rent in the future.

Children's Division has been working with this family of a single mother, four children (aged 9, 8, 5, and 4), and a dog. Mom works nights and is supported by a cousin who helps care for the children. The three eldest children are enrolled in school and the youngest is going to start school next year. Mom is doing her best to try and provide for her children's needs, but is in need of some assistance. She was shy to ask for help, but after explaining that everyone needs help from time to time, she became a lot more comfortable with the idea of letting her community help her. The following is a long list of needs, but any little bit helps; • Gas Bill (Spire Gas) the bill is 2228.85 When asked why this is so high she stated that she got behind during the winter (they live in an large OLD drafty house) • Air Conditioners (2) • One Twin Bed or Full Bed • Dining Room Table with chairs • Bowls (Plastic) • Cups (Plastic) • Plates (Plastic) • Silverware • Towels • Curtains • Books for the kids to read • Toys • Clothes for the kids o Child 1 (age 9) shirt size Lg/14/16, pants size 16 Long or husky, shoe 8.5 mens o Child 2 (age 8) shirt size M/ 12-14 girls, pants 12/14 girls, shoe 4 o Child 3 (age 5) shirt size M 12/14 girls, pants 16 or Husky, shoe 1 o Child 4 (age 4) shirt size 4/5T, pants 5 T, shoe 10
