I am working with a biological mother of five children. Mom is compliant with services and recognizes she needs help achieving sobriety. Mom has agreed to go to medical detox followed by inpatient care. Mom has identified past due rent as a barrier that would postpone or potentially prevent her from going to detox and inpatient care. Mom's monthly rent is just below $200 a month and she is behind by three months. Mom is currently looking for employment in order to pay the past due balance but could prioritize her sobriety and postpone job seeking if there was no past due balance.

I have a 9 year old foster child that needs some additional summer clothes. Foster Mother is a single parent and has been able to get some items, but it has been difficult to keep up due to a recent growth spurt. Foster Mother is doing the best she can and would greatly appreciate any assistance. Please see items with estimated sizes below (size varies and it is better if she can try on the items). Thank you

3 pairs of Girls’ jean shorts (size 8-9) 3 pairs of Girls’ athletic shorts (size 9-10) 3 Girls’ tank tops w/wide shoulder coverage not spaghetti straps (size 9-10) 1 Toiletry Bag for Camp

We have a father of two children ages 2 and 4 years old. The father needs to participate in a parenting class as part of his treatment plan. Attending this class will help the father gain valuable information and skills to safely parent his children. By completing this parenting class, the father will be one huge step closer to reunifying with both children.

We have a mother who has six children who is in need of new/used washing machine, and two twin beds. The NM is not working at this time and has ran out of options. The NM is in the process of making serious changes in her life and would like assistance.

Family is in need of one full mattress and one twin mattress. This family has now taken 5 children into their home as a kinship foster placement in the past ten months to avoid those children from being placed in traditional foster care, which brings the total amount of children they are financially providing 100% for to 6. They have been able to secure most items for the children including bed frames, but they are not able to afford new mattresses for the two children who were placed in their home two weeks ago.

After a long wait, living in cramped quarters with extended family, a single mother of a 2-year-old boy, 3-year-old girl, and a baby boy on the way, just got approved for a new apartment. She's currently in between jobs and would appreciate help with the deposit and first month's rent to expedite her move.

Grandmother is the foster parent of her granddaughter which is currently is DHS custody. Grandmother has been trying very hard to make ends meet being that she is living off SSI. Grandmother is asking for help to transport her granddaughter back and forth to school. Grandmother is also very low on groceries and is seeking anything that can help her prepare full course meals for her granddaughter. Grandmother has not received any help financially and has reached out for help. Please contact me if you are willing to help a grandmother in need.

A mother of five was in a domestic violence situation. She has made sure her and her five children are safe but has no means to wash or dry clothes other than going to laundry mat. She does have washer and dryer hookups. The laundry continues to pile up. The family does not care if the washer/dryer is used.

Bio-parents are requesting help with getting a bus pass to continue to work to support themselves and to get back and forth to their family worker visits. The family is trying to continue to stay on track while training to be faithful on their family visitation. Please reach out to me if you are able to assist this family need.

Thank you kindly-

This family is needing help with transportation to get to all of their appointments and meetings. Natural Mother and Natural father will each needs bus vouchers to participate in court recommended services.

Biological father with children recently placed in DHS custody is in need of monetary assistance to pay initial fee for government issued cell phone and to obtain a drivers license. A phone of his own would help him communicate with his children, caseworkers, and attorney as he navigates his way through the court system to complete services for reunification with his children. A drivers license will propel his ability to properly identify himself for needed services and work toward getting him back to driving.

We have a mother and daughter who have been brought back together. We have observed the mother and child to have a great bond. The mother just moved into a new apartment and will be starting a new job in the next couple of weeks. The mother has overcame many obstacle's in her life, and during our interaction with the mother we have observed an amazing turn around in her life. She is needing assistance with her rent and only has a short window of time to do so. If this barrier can eliminated it will help the mother save for incoming bills. We would like to add that this is a one time ask, because the mother believes she will be able to meet all of the needs in the home once she starts working full time. Thank you for considering this need.
