This mother was working 2 jobs while pregnant and trying to save up before giving birth. Her son came early though and was very premature. She has stopped working to be with him at the hospital and is attempting to breastfeed him since that is best for all babies but especially premature babies, but she now cannot afford her rent. She will likely be off for at least 8 weeks. Her rent is $1,300.00. The mother may be able to return to work after 8 weeks to maintain her livelihood, but in the meantime needs extra support since she had tried to plan for this event and the baby had other ideas about when to be born Updated on May 10, 2023 by an Agency Worker

An older youth had been placed with a family that was willing to complete guardianship for him so that he could leave care. Recently they decided not to complete guardianship with him and he and his younger siblings were asked to be removed from their home. This older youth was given a car by the previous placement but they took it back when they asked for the kids to be removed from their home. The youth in worried about transportation because he has a job that he really enjoys and he is trying to become self sufficient since guardianship is no longer an option. The youth has found a car that he would like to buy and is in the process of saving for the car. He could use some help meeting his goal of saving for the car. We do not want this youth to spend all of his savings on a car if we could assist him with getting a car.

S.D. is a wonderful placement provider, who is always willing to open her doors up for children in need of a home. S.D. recently agreed to take an emergency placement of an 11 year old boy who was dropped off at our office today by an angry foster parent. S.D. has everything else to complete the placement, but she needs to replace a bedroom door. S.D. is facing a bit of a financial situation due to taking care of their mother and could not afford to replace the door at the moment. Getting this door will give us more opportunity to place the boy and any future placements.

With the weather getting nicer and the sun shining brighter, a sibling group of a 10-year-old girl, 9-year-old girl, and an 11-year-old boy would love to receive new bicycles with no training wheels for the Spring/summer. The current conditions of bikes that each of the siblings are very rusty, and the bike tires have been patched up multiple times. The children have had these bikes for over two years since coming into care and would greatly benefit from new bikes. The two younger girls are currently placed together, and the 11-year-old boy is currently placed in a foster home. The sibling group's case plan goal is to be adopted by their maternal aunt in Kansas. The boy typically visits his sisters every other weekend, and primarily bond and spend their time outside, playing with the other neighborhood kids.
