Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

  • A loving grandmother and granddaughter are in need of support with clothing while they are looking for a new place to stay. As the seasons change and the teenage granddaughter has grown it has proven to be a challenge to make sure the clothes continue to fit appropriately. This family would be so grateful for any support with this while they navigate the next steps on a new place to live this would take a big burden off their shoulders. Some of their favorite places to shop are Walmart, target, Tj Maxx and Marshals gift cards to any of these stores would be more than appreciated.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

I am working with a set of grandparents who have legal custody of their grandson who is 8 years old. They need financial assistance for summer day camp. The grandfather and grandmother both works outside of the home and can generally meet the family's basic needs. However, they need someone to watch their grandson while he is out of school this summer. The grandson goes to a private school and the school is offering summer day camp. The grandparents want the grandson to participate at this particular day camp to keep the consistency since he already knows the staff and other children. The grandson has been diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum and change is hard for him. The grandparents looked into other financial resources, but they were denied because they were slightly over-income. Please consider helping this family with this need. Thank you!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A devoted and loving grandmother has opened her heart and home to care for her four young grandchildren, ages 8, 7, 4, and 2. In this beautiful yet challenging new chapter, she is giving everything she has to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for the children.

Living on a fixed income, she is facing significant financial hardship. In this moment of need, she urgently requires essential cleaning supplies, including washing detergent, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deodorant for both boys and girls, trash bags, disinfectant spray, Lysol wipes, paper towels, and toilet paper.

Though this transition has not been easy, she is doing everything she can to adjust, always putting her grandchildren’s needs first and working hard to create a sense of normalcy and love. Any support at this time would mean more than words can express—it would ensure the children can stay with their grandmother in a loving kinship placement, keeping them connected to family and surrounded by care. It would also give her the time she needs to stabilize and receive the benefits that will allow her to continue providing for them in the future.

Thank you for considering supporting this remarkable grandmother and her family during this important time.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

There are four children in the home and two other children that do not reside in the home between dad and stepmom, but visits. They are very cordial and willing to work with us. The family is linked with community resources. The children are your typical children- they enjoy games, being outdoors, hanging out with friends. They are working on reunifying with the father's 16 year old daughter. Parents do what they can to provide and meet all of the needs of the children. They are consistently ensuring they are attending all of their counseling appointments, groups, etc. They work around the kids’ appointments so money is often tight especially with multiple kids in the home.

The family is in need of a twin bunk bed and one twin mattress.
