16yo needs shoes. family is living in domestic violence shelter. 12wide women's. Child has been skipping classes because she does not have shoes to go to school and is embarrassed to wear her nighttime slippers to school that are falling apart. Getting her shoes may not seem like a big deal but she has trouble finding shoes in her large size and this would not only help boost her confidence, which has struggled since moving to the shelter, but help encourage her to attend school more regularly.

High Urgency Request
Need help in purchasing new football cleats and helmet visor for a 14 y/o boy who recently reunified with his mom. Throughout his time in care he changed between multiple placements and different schools. Despite the many transfers, the teenager maintained excellent grades and attendance and has been able to play football at each school. He is growing rapidly and needs new cleats and a required visor for his new team. Football is extremely important to him and he works hard to ensure he can play in addition to his educational goals. He has high hopes and aspirations to attend college and interest in computers/coding. He utilizes football as a healthy coping skill and gains many skills from his coaches and team such as teamwork, discipline, and physical exercise. Either the specific items or a gift card to a sporting goods store would help obtain the items and allow him to pick out the right fit/style himself as he is learning financial skills as a teenager such as how much items cost, how to shop around, and check out/pay for yourself. Helping meet this need would free up funds in the home for other necessary items.

KCMO Angels just received a referral for a biological mother who has worked so hard to achieve reunification and currently just got her kids back for a trial home visit. She was referred to our Love Box program for being able to use some emotional support as she adjusts to parenting two children with special needs again. She does have some limited family support, however that support has been somewhat exhausted due to the length of the foster care case. She has worked very hard to maintain sobriety and obtain stable housing for this trial home visit with her children to be possible. When completing her intake today to get her matched with a Love Box leader here at KCMO Angels, we just fell in love with her dedication to make reunification work as she is adamant to not lose her children again. We are striving to get her match before her case closes and her children are released from care while she is eligible. When talking with her today and inquiring for any holiday wants, needs so we could bless her in that way while she is on our waiting list, her only request was a Christmas tree with colored lights for her two young children. We are calling on our amazing Careportal community to help make this happen!

A family of six, five children, all Hispanic, are in dire need of winter clothing- Gloves and coats. The eldest daughter has no coats that fit her anymore and the younger kids are wearing her old coats, but they don't fit and are torn. Gloves are our top concern because none of the kids nor mom have gloves. None of the kids are in school and we are working on getting them enrolled in a new school because they recently moved. Mom really needs help to manage the needs of all her children and she is struggling to get ready for the winter. She shares a bed with her three daughters and her two sons share a bed, all 6 of them share the same bedroom because the boys attic room is being remodeled and is unsafe for them currently. I have already put in a request for additional bedding supplies and am working to get the boys separated from the girls but am still needing help getting them some clothing. The children all told me individually that they get cold at home and are scared of how cold it is going to get this Winter because they do not have proper winter clothing or gloves. Anything to help these kids get prepared for this winter so they can go back to school in proper clothing would be amazing. These kids all want to be in school and want to be involved in group activities but have no clothing to do so. Giving them clothes would not only boost their confidence but allow them to go outside safely and join groups that will enrich their lives and expand their safety networks.
