A dedicated single mother of three children is doing her best to balance work and her health in the midst of job searching. Any assistance would be incredibly helpful, as it would ease her daily burden. The energy bill came higher than she expected. She has been making payments over time, however, was served a disconnection notice if not paid by 5/12/2025. Please consider helping out this family keep their energy on. Thank you.

I am reaching out to request support on behalf of a single mother in our community who is in need of a queen-sized mattress. This hardworking mom is raising two young children and doing her best to provide a safe and stable environment for her family. Currently, she is without a proper bed and has been sleeping on the floor or couch to ensure her children are as comfortable as possible. A queen mattress would give her the opportunity to get the rest she truly deserves and continue caring for her children with the strength and energy they depend on. A donated mattress would be more than just a piece of furniture—it would represent dignity, comfort, and care for a mother doing everything she can for her family under difficult circumstances. Thank you so much for considering this request. If needed, I can help arrange pickup or delivery.

I have a relative foster parent in need of a stroller for a baby she has in her care. The baby is getting ready to turn 1 and is more mobile. The foster parent would like a stroller to put him in when she runs errands and goes places with the baby, instead of carrying him. Any help is appreciated.

Bio Mom is needing to attend a driving school (Learn 2 Drive KC) that will help her get her driver license so that she can transport her children to school, medical appointments, and ABA therapy.

I have a mother that is moving into her own apartment in a couple of weeks and she is in need of a couple items. She has started overnights and we will be moving towards trial home visits this summer. She has overcome her addiction and making such amazing progress.

I have a mother that has had to miss work for the past two weeks due to a sick child at home. As a result she has fallen behind financially with paying her rent.

I am working with a young lady who is aging out of foster care soon. This young person receives supplemental security income and that goes to simply pay her rent and utilities at her residence. She is struggling right now with needing resources to purchase hygiene items, food, and even just have money for a simple hair cut. She has furniture and kitchen items but she strongly desires to be independent and fit in with others her age. She would like to be able to go out in the community to do things with peers her age but cannot due to lack of funds to pay for simple activities such as movies, bowling or even just dinner.

Family with 7 children had to move out of their home within 48 hours as the building was condemned. They spent multiple months looking for housing and have finally found a place to live. They are in need of living room furniture.

This baby came into care about 2 months ago, the mother abuses illicit substances, including while pregnant, such that it impairs her ability to parent. On or about January 21, 2025 at the time of the Childs birth - the child tested positive for cocaine, methadone and benzodiazepines through urinalysis. The child subsequently needed to be placed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on a respiratory machine due to experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. This child had nothing and will need clothing and other things. We are requesting a $ 150.00 in gifts cards so the placement can go get what the baby needs to be in there home.

Kinship placement has been unable to pay their past due water bill in order to insure continuation of service. Needs help towards this bill.
