High Urgency Request
Teen (17F) was recently placed with a relative and the family is in the process of moving to a new home due to issues with their old apartment. This has caused the teen to need a new bed as the apartment they are moving to will allow the teen to have their own space. The teen does require a full bed due to their height.

There is a 13-year-old boy that would like to be reunited with his family. He currently is staying with the school secretary and is flourishing. This kid went from D and F to be on the honor roll. We would like to honor this kid and bring him dignity by getting him a twin-size bed frame, mattress, linens, blankets, and pillow. This will allow him to be reunited with his mom again. He currently visits her but would have to sleep on the floor. He's a great kid that needs a bit more assistance. Would you please consider helping?

Critical Request
Single mother on disability is working with DCCCA to keep children in school daily and involved in therapy services. This single mother has been struggling financially due to not receiving child support. This mother is in great need of 4 new tires on her vehicle. Worker was just notified that the spare tire has blown on vehicle today. This mother's vehicle is in great need of tires to allow her to transport her children to medical and therapy appointments each week. This mother has called Big O tires for a estimate and Walmart. Big O has the tires and may price match walmart. Walmart quote is near $450 without disposal fee. Big O price is $750 including disposal. This worker can provide Big O with paper quote to get price match as they have tires in stock unlike walmart. Donor will be able to contact Big O directly to provide payment once tires are installed. Worker is estimating cost as it is depending on disposal fees. This need is urgent as mother has multiple appointments scheduled over spring break for children.

Looking for a private landlord that is willing to take a chance on a mother of 4 that has no rental or credit history. This mother has overcome addiction and hardship to be able to reunite with her children. She is currently working three jobs in order to be able to provide a stable house for her children. The children are ready to be back in the house with their mother. The last step in being able to reunite this family is finding a permanent and stable living situation for them. The children are all over the age of 10 and would prefer to stay in the KC metro area in order to stay in their current schools. Mother would prefer to stay around Edwardsville, Bonner Springs/western Shawnee.

High Urgency Request
Hello! I have a young mother who is working reintegration with her 2 year old son. This mother was dealt such an awful hand at life-- she has dealt with chronic homelessness since age 16, began abusing drugs following her father's death, was in an extremely abusive relationship that led to the birth of her son, and had severe postpartum depression which led her to sign over a guardianship for her son. She has since started working reintegration to be reunited with her son and has made immense progress in just a few months; she was recently promoted to manager at her job, bought a car for herself, is engaging in therapy and substance use services, and recently was accepted into a 2bed/1bath apartment to accommodate herself and her son. She has done so much in just a short span of time which shows how committed she is to being a good mother to her son, and we would appreciate any assistance in helping her pay for her apartment deposit/help with her first month's rent. Any help is so appreciated!

Hello! I have a teenager who is up next on the "Smiles Change Lives" waitlist, and will be getting braces soon. We are hoping to obtain assistance in paying for the deposit for this as she lives with a single foster mom/adoptive resource. This child's story is so heart wrenching-- she was forced to immigrate with her father from Guatemala, who eventually was arrested for physically abusing her to the point of her needing to be hospitalized. The father has since been deported, and my teen will be staying here in the US. She was such a scared and timid child who was really self-conscious about her appearance-- specifically her smile. She is SO excited for these braces, any help in paying for the deposit will be so appreciated!

Over the past several years we have watched a young aunt, step up to raise not just one additional child, but her five nieces and nephews. She was already a young single mother of two small babies of her own, but when KVC asked if she would foster her oldest niece and nephew, she immediately said yes. Within 9 months, this aunt was raising 7 children under the age of 8 years old. With the help of paternal aunts and grandma, she has been able to make every doctor appointment and more with her big crew. When the time came, parents were unable to make the changes needed for the best interest of the children. Without question, this young aunt was ready to give the children their forever home. As we move towards finalizing adoption for this large family, we would like to ask some help from others to help this loving mother have a van or large vehicle to use day to day.

This request is to help cover for half of an airline ticket for a child to spend spring break with his father. Dad has already bought the ticket but we are hoping to reimburse him for half the cost. Dad has not been able to see his son for 2.5 years due to a sticky separation with his son's mother. Dad is making the time to come to Kansas from Colorado at least once a month to see his son and this is a great opportunity for them to spend more time together. The child is super excited to spend this time with his dad. I know dad would be greatly appreciative with any help that could be given!
