We have a grandmother who agreed to move into her daughter's home to prevent 4 children from being removed from the home. Grandma is doing everything she can to maintain 4 young children in her home but this has caused her to lose her form of employment. The home was unclean when Grandma moved into the home but due to lack of funds and having her hands full, she is struggling to get the home back to the cleanliness it was prior to now. We are looking for cleaning supplies for Grandma or a cleaning company willing to to go to the home to assist the family so they can keep their home and children happy, healthy, and clean.

A grandmother has recently taken in 5 children into her home ranging from 1 to 7-years-old. 4 of these children already have beds, however, the youngest is 1-year-old and needs a crib!

Along with this, more kids means more clothes! Placement is looking for a tall dresser to help store the children's clothes. Please help this home get a crib and a dresser!

I have a single mother that has three children at home and two children in care. She reached out and said that her radiator hose exploded on her car and she is unable to pay for the replacement hose and the labor that comes to putting a new one in her car. If she can’t get this fixed, she is in jeopardy of losing her job, thus losing her home and her other children possibly coming into care. She isn’t sure on the price but by googling it ranges from $350 upwards of $1200. Anything is helpful at this point. Thank you!!

This family is needing assistance with rent/deposit for a new home due to the family needing more space for a child they are taking as kinship placement after a life altering accident. The child needs more space for the medical equipment along with the ability for them to work with nursing, physical, and occupational therapist in the home. Assisting with the rent/deposit will allow the family to move and settle in to their new home, and allow the child to discharge from the hospital after being admitted for over 6 months. Any assistance is appreciated.

Four children have been placed in a kinship home and as part of their preparedness kit, required by licensing, they all need to have sleeping bags in the event of an emergency.

Jackson County Children's Division is seeking help in supplying a relative placement provider a gift card to either Target, Wal-Mart, or anywhere else that might allow her to purchase the child summer clothing. The child is currently in need of more leggings, athletic shorts, baggy t-shirts, and undergarments. The child has a lot of winter clothing, but not a lot of summer clothing to accommodate the KCMO heat. We as an agency would be more than grateful for any help that is offered by anyone, as any little bit can make a large difference! I am certain the placement provider will also be extremely appreciative of whatever help anyone can offer. Thank you for your consideration from Jackson County Children's Division!

A 15-year-old female and her 1.5-year-old daughter have been placed with a recently single-parent household and is needing the generosity of the community to help assist with an Evergy utility bill. Their home is disconnected and their current voucher being put towards utilities does not cover the entirety of the bill due to the recent single parent being overwhelmed of taking over this on their own. Proof of bill has been sent to the case manager. This family would be incredibly grateful for any amount to help them off, what is deemed by them, this mountain of a utility bill.
