We have a mother who has a six-month old baby that is teething. The mother is very resilient and is thriving with all of her programs she is involved in. She is a domestic violence survivor and is using her experience to build and grow within her life. She is in therapy to address the concerns that brought her family to the attention of the Department. She is a domestic violence survivor. She is a good mother who truly cares for her daughter. During our meetings the baby is always smiling and giggling. Recently, the baby began teething and is in need of hypoallergenic-silicon weaning cups, baby spoons, feeding set, and food making system (NutriBullet). I am in hopes that some of these items can possibly make it to her.

Please help us preserve a Kinship placement. A grandmother has cared for her granddaughter for over 3 years, but is now struggling financially. She needs assistance getting tires and a wheel alignment for her car which is her only means of transportation. Grandmother uses her vehicle to safely transport her granddaughter to and from school, therapy appointments and other court orders several times a week.

The family lives in orange county and has to travel all over for services / court orders, including to LA County. Grandmother is retired and has a fixed income. She responsibly uses her income to pay for essentials for the minor and funds extracurricular activities for her granddaughter to participate in during their visits. Over the past 3 years, grandmother has successfully focused her resources on caring for her granddaughter.

Recently the minor’s therapist recommended the minor to be enrolled in a school program that provides therapeutic services for children on the Autism spectrum. Grandmother is required to pay a portion of the weekly tuition, and this additional cost has limited Grandmother's ability to address this need without assistance. The cost of the new tires is $790.30, and the wheel alignment is $129.99 for a total cost of $920.29 that can be paid directly to the vendor. Your assistance with helping grandmother replace her car tires so that she could continue providing a safe environment to her grandchild would be greatly appreciated.

Child has grown up in and out of foster care. Child was raised without knowing who his father was. In 2023 Mother named a man, after DNA results, in Dec 2023- the child found out who his biological father was. Much to father's surprise, as he was informed he could not have children. Father quickly began visiting and getting to know his son. Over a year has passed since they have first met and things have dramatically changed for father and son. They attend family therapy together and are building their relationship. Father was displaced after breaking up with his girlfriend who was not welcoming to the child, after the breakup father was set to move to a home in Pasadena in Jan 2025. Sadly, the home they were supposed to move into- was burned down by the Eaton Fire. Father found housing in Glendora. Father is in need of a couch, dining table and even a TV. Child loves to play video games and uses video games to escape and get his mind off of things such as the emotional toll that visits with his mother and siblings. Father has worked so hard to be able to find a stable place that court can release the child to, and despite his initial home that burned down; he did not give up and did not let that bring him down.

I am reaching out on behalf of a dedicated caregiver who is in urgent need of support. This caregiver lovingly cares for a young child (Almost 2) with autism and is currently facing a significant challenge. After a recent surgery, the caregiver is unable to safely carry or support the child while using their current umbrella stroller, which offers limited support and stability.

To ensure the child’s safety and comfort—and to help the caregiver manage day-to-day outings—we are requesting assistance in providing a full-size stroller. A sturdier stroller will allow for better support for the child and reduce physical strain on the caregiver during recovery.

This act of kindness will make a world of difference for a family navigating both medical recovery and the daily responsibilities of raising a child with unique needs.

A counselor at a local high school shared a need for a local family. The family was displaced, and did seek a motel voucher from the district. Thankfully they're back in an apartment, but the mom shared they're in need of a stove.The oldest a senior at the high school and there are two younger brothers. The family is requesting help in getting a gas stove.

Hello, I am working with a 12th grader that has been absent often due to the parent not having enough money for gas. The parent had surgery done and is possibly having a second surgery, the parent has been out of work due to her medical situation and is struggling to provide for her family. While the parent gets back on feet and starts back at work we would like to offer them a $400 gift card to help out with food, gas and other daily items they need. This will improve the well being of this student and sibling and also improve their attendance in school. We appreciate any help that can be provided for this family. Thank you and may God Bless you!

Children are placed in the care of maternal grandmother, and RFA is requesting that she purchase bunk beds as children cannot share beds. The maternal grandmother went through great lengths to secure an apartment paying the first and last month’s rent that would accommodate all three children. As a result of the children's removal, they are showing signs of trauma and one child is exhibiting depression and anxiety which led to anxiety attacks, being withdrawn and isolated. At this time, MGM has exhausted all means to fulfill RFA requirements and can no longer afford to buy bunkbeds for the children. The placement is at risk if beds are not purchased.
