The sweetest, happiest two year old in the world is being raised by her grandmother that absolutely adores her. Grandma has changed her whole life around to be able to devote 100% of her time and attention to her granddaughter and it shows in the way this little girl absolutely shines. This little family makes due with what they have as much as possible but sometimes, money falls just a bit short. Grandma could really use some help with diapers this month. Huggies little movers size 6 seem to be the ones that work the best for her and don't irritate her skin. If anyone can help with this need, it would be a huge blessing. Thank you!

I have a mom who is currently working hard to get her child back. She struggles with a substance abuse problem, and knew she needed more help than she could on her own. So she checked herself into an inpatient facility to get her life back on track. She has done amazing since being in, and is really on the right path to get her child back to her. However, she will lose her apartment if the utility bill is not paid, so she is needing to get this paid so she will have a place to live once she lives the inpatient facility. Any assistance with paying this bill would be greatly appreciated by the this mom.

A child was removed from his biological family out of state and was placed with his biological uncle here. The child has become legally free, and the uncle is willing to adopt him. However, the state the child came from requires attorney fees to be paid, or to wait up to a year for a pro bono attorney to accept the case. The child has been in foster care for several years and the child is ready for permanency.
