Hey Team, since we are "Serving with Joy" I have a single mom that is currently in need and is employed with Wichita State University. She did some extra contractual work in marketing for WSU and when they finally paid her, it was short by $400. She was expecting the full amount in order to meet her rent. This underpayment was unexpected and unforeseen and is causing a hardship for her and her family. She is asking for help to secure her monthly rent. Any and all help is welcomed. With permission, the client can be reached at(###) ###-####.

Finances are tight for the family currently; however, caregiver is working as much as they can currently and recently obtained new secondary employment. Two front tires currently have wires showing, and this is the family's only transportation to get to and from work, medical/therapeutic appointments, and to the store.

Tire sizes are P225/75R15. Tires from anywhere most affordable is fine.

Family is currently struggling financially, and their vehicle keeps overheating. Parent is working hard to obtain employment and is needing Public Transportation vouchers to ensure she can make it to work and important appointments until her vehicle can be stabilized again.

RCAT Transportation costs $2 per trip/way. 20 One-Way Trips would be $40.

Family is needing assistance with transportation vouchers for the next week, as they do not have a vehicle and have numerous appointments, including prenatal care appointments and possible job interviews. Family uses the City of Great Bend/Commission on Aging(###) ###-####). 20 One-Way trips would equal $30 for one member of the family.

Transportation services only accept cash/check. Vouchers can remain in the office so individual does not risk losing.

Hey Family, as we are "Serving With Joy"... This is a second request from a family fleeing a Domestic Violence situation. Mom is an Educator and doesn't receive unemployment during the summer when school is out. Her and her children (4) are forced to relocate. She is asking for assistance with her new rental place. The amount that is needed is $950.00. This family has experienced a lot of hardship and could really use our help.

Mother and 15 year old child have been treating their home for bed bugs. Bed bugs are currently confined to one bedroom. Family is requesting assistance with bed bug extermination or would be grateful if someone could help purchase bed bug sprays and bombs for the home so that they can continue to try to eradicate the bed bugs on their own. The expense of purchasing these items on an ongoing basis is causing a financial strain. They have been bombing as well as using diatomaceous earth to treat the problem. They have mattress encasements to protect the beds. They are also vacuuming and using high heat to treat as well. Anything to help the family stop the spread of the bed bugs and or eradicate them would be beneficial.

V is a mom and grandma working hard to care for her two children and one grandson. She fell behind on her electric bill due to an illness and missing work and now it's shut off. They were able to stay last night at a friend's house but that's not feasible to do again. Any amount helps to stabilize this family and help prevent the need for foster care!

Hey CarePortal family, I have a request for help from a single mom. Her husband deserted the family without any financial support and he has no plans of returning. To ensure that this bio family of three can stay together safely, they need their utilities paid off (Evergy $1300.00 and Kansas Gas $609.00) because this is hindering their ability to get new service at another location. They also need help finding a new home or apartment to rent. This is a very difficult and stressful situation for this family and they could really use our help. I am requesting each need as a separate CAREPORTAL request.

Homeless family needs help with deposit and 1st months' rent. The Grandma welcomed three small grandchildren into her home when the daughter was sent to prison. She is providing a loving home for these children but was evicted when the landlord sold the house. The oldest son just started a job at Spirit and will live with the family for a year to help with rent to stabilize the family. Children 1st is paying for the hotel rooms, and the grandmother is actively looking for housing. Please help us get the family out of the hotel and into stable housing.

This mom of 2 is asking for financial assistance as she steps back into work after having her youngest child. While she was in the last month of pregnancy her car stopped working. While she was on maternity leave she was able to make life work with her newborn and 2 year-old by staying home or using ride-shares sparingly. However, now that her maternity leave is done and she is going back to work, her insurance will not cover the cost of a rental while her car is being fixed. She is asking for financial help so that she can maintain going to work, but also having a running vehicle to get her children to appointments and daycare while her car is being repaired, which is estimated to take a month.

A faith-based organization that takes care of youth in foster care had two freezers quit working last week. They are currently getting a lot of free frozen meals and meat from the Food Bank and are constantly needing freezer space to store food. The freezers they are looking at are around $700 each. They do have two specific freezers they are looking at so they can give you the model number or put cash toward it. They are appreciative of any help they can get as they feed up to 37 youth in foster care each day.

The Foster Care Homes and the Licensing departments with Saint Francis works with relative, NRKIN, and general care foster homes, and tend to run into needs of these items listed to remain in compliance with DCF. SFM workers like to have these items on hand to help accommodate our families and ensuring they remain in compliance so children can remain in their home. Fire extinguishers, first aid kits, fire and CO2 detectors, and medication lock boxes are of the greatest need. Thank you for your consideration.
