EPM is a young woman who has already had a very hard year so far. She began the year in the hospital getting ECT therapy for her mental health and has since recently been released. While she was in the hospital she got back into her faith and has began going to church weekly and this has helped her the most. She has a past sexual abuse history resulting in giving birth to her daughter at 15 years old. Both EPM and her daughter are in foster care and EPM is working hard now that she has gotten the help she needs for her mental health she is working very hard to better her situation. EPM is working reintegration and wants to give her daughter the best life she can. She has enrolled in summer classes to work towards getting her LPN license, however, she is not ready to age out of foster care yet. I want to do what I can to get these classes paid for so that she doesn't have to worry about coming up with the money. She will get her classes paid for once she ages out of foster care but while she is still in it doesn't get covered. Please help me get these fees paid for to help both girls. Thank you!

AP is a 17 year old working at completing all her tasks needed to age out of foster care. She had done really well over the last 6 months catch up on credit hours to make sure she is going to be able to graduate next year on time with her class. I want to be able to surprise her with helping her and her foster parent with driver's education this summer. Her foster mom, was her teacher and when AP lost her placement she agreed to take her in. She is a widow, who recently lost her husband, and I think that AP came along at a really good time. They are really doing good working together as a family. Please help me get driver's education paid for. Thank you.

This child came into DCF custody in October 2021 and she is 17 years old with a case plan goal of independent living. Her goal is not able to be reunification unfortunately to her dad being in prison and her mother being homeless and absent from her life since November 2021. This teen is striving to do everything she can to make better choices for her life- despite missing her first two years of high school due to homelessness and the Covid-19 pandemic, she has worked diligently this year and is on track to graduate with her peers in May 2023. She has dreams of going to a college, getting a job and getting her own place. At this time, she has an immediate need for clothing. Since she is on the path to independent living, she does not have expendable income to use for clothes and shoes at this time, and is desperately in need of clothes that fit her for the summer and that are in a style she likes. Her case manager wants to take her shopping so she can choose things for herself, and with the donation of gift cards, this can be made possible. Thank you for your generosity.

An infant that is just over a year old and placed with relative caregivers, is in need of a new crib and crib mattress. The current crib the infant is using has begun to break down and is not safe for an infant to sleep in. We are hoping to purchase a transition crib to grow with this infant who is approaching the toddler age as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
