Hello there. I am reaching out to request assistance with an electric bill for a very caring and supportive foster family. They have provided a loving and stable placement for a 10-year-old boy since October. The child has been exhibiting some increasingly concerning behaviors over the recent months and the family has had a great deal on their plate as a result. They have expressed that they have hit some hard times financially and could use a little help with their electric bill. Any help that you may be able to provide this family would be immensely appreciated! Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

The mother entered into a juvenile deprived case with her current child and has done exceptionally well, turning her life around and her case is about to close. There was domestic violence and the mother filed for and received a protective order from the father so there is not any contact with him at this time. The mother found out she is expecting and it is a high risk pregnancy. The mother is in need of baby items including a car seat and infant clothing, diapers, blankets and any other items associated with an infant because she is unable to work at this time. The mother's DHS case will be closing in a week so she will not have any of the services when the baby is due in September. If these needs are met, it would take the stress off the mother and she can focus on taking care of her current child and prepare for the new one. Mother is expecting a girl but does not care for pink, prefers purple and yellow for a girl.
