A 17-year-old girl, eldest of her family, expressed feeling frustrated because her car needs repair. At 17, there are a lot of things she is buying for her senior year that she needs money for (college applications, basketball shoes, fees on her school account, senior pictures, etc) but without a car she is hardly able to work as she has no way to get there. She lives in a single parent household with four siblings and helps mom with running errands and taking kids to and from school. This young woman is a A+ student and is very involved in her community. She said it would be a little over $250 to fix her car but any assistance would help tremendously.

This request is for a family with 3 siblings, 2 boys (10 and 3) and a girl (7). They have been in care almost 3 years due to parental substance abuse, lack of housing and criminal issues. The grandmother has placement of the oldest child and has agreed to be a permanent resource for all the children, but is need of a few items to make that happen. They need a twin bed, a toddler bed and 2 dressers. If they obtain these items, the 2 younger children will be able to be placed with them and hopefully permanency will be achieved for these children.

High Urgency Request
Grandmother/mother needs assistance with her rent. On top of her three minor children and her two adult children, has taken in her younger grandsons, one of whom is disabled, which has put a strain on her finances. Grandmother has been a saint to her family and has taken care of them, while also caring for her nieces and nephews, and her terminally ill mother, who lives in Kansas. This money would help her take care of her rent and allow her family to stay in the same home they have for decades.

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.

Two single moms, each with 2 children, are in need of extra support. Although they are both employed, they struggle financially to make ends meet. They are in need of basic furniture items for their home, including a couch, a kitchen table with 6 chairs, a vacuum cleaner, and clothing storage items. A plastic dresser or storage cart for each child would be ideal. The children include a girl (age 10) and three boys (ages, 7, 4, & 4). Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. Having a table and chairs in time for Thanksgiving would be a blessing.

This request impacts multiple families.

Our food pantry on site is in desperate need of a refrigerator. Our current refrigerator has no shelving and leaks water which is not only limiting the amount of food we can offer but is making our pantry an unsafe space. We serve over 100 families a week from our pantry and use it to run our after-school program so without the ability to have fresh produce or any refrigerated items, we will not be able to provide adequate food for our families who are in great need. Special Instructions: The item can be dropped off between 10-3pm Monday-Thursdays.

Critical Request
Single mom pregnant with her first child is needing help with paying past due rent in the amount of $1211.00. This client was working but lost her job due to having to take off from work for doctor appointments because of pregnancy complications. She was also hurt on the job due to an accident that happened that was not her fault and is currently in litigation for that. She has already been to several organizations in the Kansas City area for help, but each one is either out of funding at this time, not accepting applications at this time or are overwhelmed with applications and are not taking any more at this time. The client has been looking for another job and is hopeful she will start work soon. In the meantime, the client has just been approved for unemployment and receives a monthly check of $796.00 for blind disability (She's legally blind in one eye) that she can use to pay future rent until she starts work. Because of the amount of the request, I have broken it into 2 payments of 605.00 in hopes that some churches would like to partner together to meet this need. This will help the client from being served an eviction notice keeping her from homelessness as she prepares for the arrival of her baby in a few months.
