The family needs assistance with an enrollment fee of $250 dollars to be able secure a place in a preschool for the 5 year old female child. The school district does not allow the Pre-K class to ride the bus to and from school. Both parents in the home work full time and would be unable to pick the child up from school everyday. To help maintain the placement funds are needed to help pay the enrollment fee to secure the place in the preschool. The family has already been off work due to not knowing this information at the time of the placement last week regarding the school not allowing Pre-K to ride the bus.

We have a paternal grandmother who has taken placement of her 4 grandchildren recently. The two kiddos have been sharing a bed but they are 5 and 6 and need their own beds to help build confidence.

These bunk beds will also follow the children if and when they are returned home to their mother. Anything will be appreciated and will help this grandma out!!

Hello. I have a young mother who does not have transportation, needing a buss pass in order to get to her scheduled appointments with her children and her DHS appointed service providers. A bus pass would be very helpful to her.

Single mother of 3, ages 8 through 13, who is successfully working toward reunification is currently struggling to make ends meet. Mother is interviewing with multiple employers but is seeking an overnight position to be available for her children during the day. Due to the children’s special needs there are occasions they must be picked up early from school due to disruptive behaviors. The electric bill is currently past due with a balance of $268. If her electric gets cut off an additional fee will be charged to reconnect, making it harder for her to become financially stable. The homes primary source of cooling and heating are electrically powered and this would create a challenge to maintain hygiene and prepare meals.

I have a family who was recently experiencing homelessness due to domestic violence. They rushed into a housing situation to get out of homelessness and it was not a healthy environment. This family has a child who is recovering from brain cancer, due to the sensitive nature of his health he can’t be exposed to unhealthy living. The landlord was not willing to fix the issue and they are being forced to find another home, they will have to be out of the current house by the 21st of March. The family has found another home to move into and has paid the deposit. The family has income coming in but it only stretches to cover the current bills. Mom has not been able to work due to her son cancer but now that he is on the mend she is looking to get back to work soon. The family was able to come up with most of the rent they are needing. However they are a little short and are needing help with the final amount. This family has worked really hard to overcome all the obstacle put in their way. By getting this help it will allow this family to finally be back on track to be independent and it will get then into healthy living environment.

We have a single mother trying to raise three kids. One of which has severe violent behavior issues. The mother had to quit her job due to her kid's behavior. She has not been able to work in the last two months. Therefore, the mother has fallen behind on her mortgage payments and is needing help with paying her mortgage. Please consider helping this parent get back on her feet, any amount of assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have a little girl on my caseload who was recently diagnosed with a kidney condition. She is currently in the hospital and her discharge date is unknown at this time. The resource parent is making multiple trips to the hospital daily and has had to take time off from work. This is an unpaid placement and these extra expenses are difficult. I would like to request the following items to bless this family and help them through this hard time. Two boxes of Pampers diapers size 5 and size 6. The kidney condition has caused the little girl to swell and the size she needs has fluctuated. She has very sensitive skin and Pampers seem to work the best. A Kindle Fire Tablet with toddler safe case from Amazon. The little girl loves to play on the tablet and watch shows like Peppa Pig. The tablet would help occupy her time at the hospital when she isn’t sleeping. Assistance with expenses like gas and food would be greatly appreciated. The sibling of the little girl is being brought to the hospital daily and they are spending a lot of money on gas and eating dinner in the hospital cafeteria. Pampers size 5 $45 Pampers size 6 $45 Amazon Kindle Fire with childproof case $99-$130 Gas money $100 Money for hospital Cafeteria $100

This mom and child are in trial reunification and dependent on the bus. She has multiple services throughout town that she is required to get to, in addition to getting food for her family.
