I have a caregiver that just took in her Godson during an emergency situation. She is a single mother with 4 children of her own. The child she brought in is a 14-year-old teen male. The caregiver will not get any financial assistance as she is in the process of moving out of state and will not have time to have a home study completed to get financial assistance. The caregiver is worried about being able to provide enough food for everyone on her single income, especially since she has all teenagers. The caregiver would like assistance with getting some groceries from HEB or Aldi.

The screen door that goes to the backyard is broken and makes it nearly impossible for the kiddos to get out there and play. Not only is this a safety concern, but the two kids are always out playing in the backyard and this has hindered that. Screen door 81" L x 36" W (approximately, measured by FP)

Help a Teen Prepare for Hospital Admission This Week

A teenage girl in our care is being admitted to a long-term psychiatric hospital this Wednesday to receive urgent mental health care.

The hospital has a strict dress code, and she doesn’t currently have enough clothing that meets the requirements. We are asking for help by collecting Walmart gift cards or arranging a Walmart pickup order to purchase 10 changes of plain clothes and 3 pairs of shoes before her admission.

The estimated total to get clothes from Walmart is $250. Gift cards of any amount are appreciated—even $10 or $20 will help us meet her needs.

If you would like to donate a gift card or help place a Walmart pickup order, please reach out. Thank you for supporting her during this important transition!

Please help strengthen a biological family in need. This family has a single mother that is working hard and working two jobs to support her six children. She is recently separated from her partner and experiencing financial difficulties. Having to start from scratch in a new home has been a challenge. As one can imagine, a home with six children will need to be cleaned frequently and a fair amount of laundry will be produced.

This family is in need of five jugs of laundry detergent, three gallons of bleach, three containers of pine-sol floor cleaner, a vacuum cleaner, 3t-4t pull up diapers, and unscented wipes.

If this need is met, it will afford the family some financial relief in the short term. The mom recently began a new job and funds are limited now, but she is already looking for additional employment to better provide for her family in the future.

We have a mother of a child who is in care that needs assistance with transportation funds. The mother needs to travel via bus to and from her scheduled visits with her daughter. The family is in need of a $50 bus pass. Any assistance given would be greatly appreciated.

The family is currently residing in a trailer home and is needing a few items like a refrigerator, stove, tiles for the floor, and white seal. The family refrigerator and stove are broken.

I have a family that has a child that is High Risk Medically Fragile Child that has a g-tube and he does not have a bed. I am requesting this for the family so that he can have a bed. The mother has lost her apartment due to the rent being increased and she is not able to afford the rent she had to place her other 3 children with other family members until she is able to secure housing. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Mother has 2 young children. Mother has epilepsy and Father works at night. Family needs assistance and would like to install cameras in residence so father can monitor the residence while mother is home alone with the children. Cameras will help the family to ensure the safety of the children and the mother due to her medical condition.

DFPS is trying to preserve this kinship home to allow a 17-year-old to remain with family, instead of aging out of foster care. His father has never been in the picture, mom has been murdered, and previous kinship grandmother has also passed, so this is the last family member who is able to take him in & support him as he enters adulthood. Aunt was in a recent serious car accident, so she's unable to work right now, but still wants to keep her nephew in the home. The family would appreciate grocery gift-cards and any other household items to get them through this difficult time.
