Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Normal Request
A single caregiver recently had her 6 year old female cousin placed with her. The caregiver previously received permanent custody of her 3 year old and 10 year old female cousins through previous CPS cases. The caregiver has a 2 bedroom apartment and she is requesting one set of bunk beds for her 6 year old cousin and 10 year old cousins for their bedroom as they share a room. In addition, she is requesting mattresses and sheets for the beds. The caregiver works hard to provide for her family and with this case being new she had to purchase other items for her cousin to be settled in her home and cannot afford bunk beds at this time.

High Urgency Request
A family of 5 people, 2 children and 3 adults need of help. One of the children is a 16 years old male that just moved from Guatemala to have a better future and moved in with his male cousins, his cousins wife and his niece. The 16 yo was transported to the US by smugglers. The 16 yo was registered in school and his adult cousins were the main breadwinners in the household. In July, the 16 yo received a call from the smugglers and threatened him to pay off the amount he owes for bringing to the US or his family lives in Guatemala will be in danger. The 16 yo had to quit school to help his cousins by working full time to make payments so his family can be safe. The amount the 16 yo owes is $9000 and there is $700 interest every month. The cousins work double the hours and the 16 yo works full time to manage their payments to the smugglers. I am seeking help for the family to pay a months rent and utilities so they can make the payment they require to keep the family in Guatemala safe. The 16 yo wishes to continue his education but he will not be able to until he pays off the smugglers. Any help is accepted.

Critical Request
We have a single-parent family whose house burned down. The family lost everything. Children are in need of clothes, especially uniforms. Unfortunately, without proper uniform attire, students are not allowed to remain on campus and attend classes. The family also needs furniture, bedding, food, etc. Anything will help this family to recover and help to make them whole again. The children desperately want to continue their studies.

Mom and Dad would benefit from assistance as they were previously homeless. Both parents are working minimal wage jobs to maintain housing. This assistance would allow the children to maintain stable housing as they have no bedding in the home beyond air mattresses. Parents are working diligently to ensure their bills can be paid moving forward to avoid homelessness. Parents have 3 children. Two males under the age of 2yo and one female 12yo. Parents continue to work diligently to improve their economic circumstances.
