A grandparent is experiencing a hardship and is needing help upgrading the child's bed from a toddler bed to a twin bed as they have become to tall and old for the toddler bed.

This family is needing assistance with half of their rent. Their 21 year-old son was recently killed in an accident and their 19-year-old daughter who is pregnant is being induced due to the stress of losing her brother. Her younger son is currently permanently disabled. Mother has been unable to work as she has been making arrangements for her son's burial and her the birth of her daughter's child. Mother was unable to cover the entire month's rent because she paid for the burial of her son. There are three other younger children in the home. Any assistance to help this family would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.

A single mother and two female toddlers ages 2 and 4 are looking to move into a new home in a safer neighborhood than where they are currently residing. The mother has worked very hard in maintaining employment and even purchased a vehicle to help her transport her children to daycare and maintain her girls' relationship to their biological father. The mother has asked for assistance in a first-month's deposit to move out in June as her lease is ending the end of May. She is needing the community's help in this matter to ensure safer and better lives for her two little girls. Any amount would significantly help this family, as they are also very close to being released of jurisdiction and reunifying.

A mother of four wonderful girls is working on her reintegration case plan tasks diligently. She has worked to get appropriate housing for herself and the kids, and is at risk of losing the housing due to back rent. She owes $1000 in back rent, and has paid off over half, and needs assistance in paying off the rest. Any financial assistance, no matter the amount, is appreciated and a blessing!

I am reaching out to request support on behalf of a single mother in our community who is in need of a queen-sized mattress. This hardworking mom is raising two young children and doing her best to provide a safe and stable environment for her family. Currently, she is without a proper bed and has been sleeping on the floor or couch to ensure her children are as comfortable as possible. A queen mattress would give her the opportunity to get the rest she truly deserves and continue caring for her children with the strength and energy they depend on. A donated mattress would be more than just a piece of furniture—it would represent dignity, comfort, and care for a mother doing everything she can for her family under difficult circumstances. Thank you so much for considering this request. If needed, I can help arrange pickup or delivery.

This is a single parent home. Mom is currently unemployed and family is making ends meet off of social security disability benefits. Family is functioning within poverty. One of the children in the home has a high level of medical needs with some medical equipment that requires electricity to function (suctioning and feeding pump). This mother is facing shut off notice with Evergy and her bill is currently $1,02.09. Any amount will help. This would truly be a blessing. Thank you so much for considering.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request support in acquiring a small stand-up refrigerator for the community pantry I oversee. Our pantry serves as a vital resource for many residents, and we strive to provide not only shelf-stable items but also fresh, nutritious options. Unfortunately, without proper refrigeration, we are currently limited in our ability to offer perishable foods like fresh fruits and vegetables—items that are both highly requested and essential to a balanced diet. A small refrigerator (as we do not have a lot of space to work with) would allow us to accept and safely store produce donations, reduce waste, and increase access to healthier food choices for individuals and families who rely on our services. This addition would greatly enhance our ability to support the well-being of the community in a more sustainable and impactful way. Thank you for considering this request. Please let me know if you need any additional information. I would be happy to provide details or coordinate further.

A child has had lice for about two months now. She has missed 12 days of school and is now missing end of year testing. Her guardian has not been able to contain the lice with over-the-counter products, and she is in need of professional treatment. I have located a salon in the area that is able to provide services at a discounted rate so that she does not miss any more school. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If you are able to assist, please reach out to me and I will provide the information for the salon where gift certificate can be purchased.

This courageous family has bravely escaped a situation of domestic violence and has found refuge away from the father. However, they are starting anew with virtually nothing in their new home. The children are in dire need of clothing, hygiene products, and blankets; they currently have very few of these essentials. The youngest child has a pack n play, but the family is sleeping on the floor. They are without formula and diapers, but I am reaching out to secure these necessities for them. Unfortunately, they have no food, with only some rice and bottled water available, along with a pastry box gifted from grandma, who recently traveled from Jordan to support her daughter.

Transportation is a challenge for them, and they primarily speak Arabic. Their needs are urgent, and I am committed to opening an FCS case to assist this family with food stamps, WIC, domestic violence services, and more. Together, we can help them find the support they deserve during this difficult time.
