Daughter has very demanding mental health needs which has caused Dad to lose two jobs this year. Daughter needs a long term residential program but it is not covered by Mom's insurance. It would be covered by Dad's COBRA insurance but they cannot afford to pay for the COBRA and everything thing else that needs to be paid for. Daughter is currently at a short term facility, but the staff believes she needs a long term treatment facility. Mom works and Dad is looking for employment. Their immediate financial need is the electricity bill with Evergy. It is $1600 and they have a notice of termination for 09/09/2023. The family is doing everything that they can to get the daughter help, they have just hit a hard time. The total bill is a lot of money, but any assistance would go a long way in helping the family get daughter help and the family closer to financial stability.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Normal Request
A young single mother to three girls is in need of financial help to pay off the fines she accrued after receiving a DUI. This mom has worked tirelessly to reunify with her older two daughters, and provide a stable home for the child she just had. Children's Division is ready to send the girls home to their mother now that her extensive alcohol treatment program is completed, but this mom is still struggling to get her license back in good standing because her fee's need to be paid first before anything else can be done. We realize this is a big request, but the intention of DUI fines and sentences is to prevent repeat offenders, which is exactly what it has done, but this mom simply can't adequately care for her daughters without her license. This mom works as a certified nursing assistant, and is wanting to go to school to get her nursing degree, but she's struggling to get the ball rolling with the lingering effects of court fees.
