Critical Request
The father in this case has been struggling for some time to meet the needs of his 3 children. 2 of them are specifically very high needs, one is diagnosed with autism and the other is in the process of being diagnosed. He has been working hard to catch up on his rent and has been putting nearly every paycheck towards keeping his modest home that the children are excited about living in with him. It has not been enough. He is behind 1500, 400 from last month and 1100 from this month. After having this issue since December the property manager has declined to work with him any longer and will proceed with eviction, leaving the father homeless and the children without a home to reintegrate into. The father has advised this worker that he was originally given 30 days, but now the property management has given him a notice that it must be paid by 5:00 tomorrow or he will be taken to court. Thank you for reading this and any assistance will help. If the full need is not able to be met by the deadline, the case team will return any contribution provided.

A low-income family is in need of a temporary dumpster as they are cleaning and making small renovations to their home. A dumpster would only be needed for a few days. Such efforts will assist the family to improve the condition of their home to be appropriate for returning the children home. Parents are very respectful and motivated to have their children reintegrate, they will likely be flexible to coordinate this assistance.

DCCCA has been working with a family and is getting ready to pass services on to another provider who will work with reunifying children and parents. As a step in that process, the family needs to order birth certificates for two of the children in order to obtain housing. DCCCA would like to help the parents secure the certificates and begin working on obtaining stable housing before their case closes in the next few weeks. If you are able to assist in covering this cost to help these parents as they take steps to be able to have their children back to their home, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Teen (17F) was recently placed with a relative and the family is in the process of moving to a new home due to issues with their old apartment. This has caused the teen to need a new bed as the apartment they are moving to will allow the teen to have their own space. The teen does require a full bed due to their height.

The Jackson County Children's Division is needing a twin bed and a platform bedframe for a child in our care. This child is five-years-old and he is currently living with his aunt, two cousins, and sister. They just moved into a larger home for all five of them to have room to grow and thrive. Four beds are a lot to purchase all at once so we are asking for community help for the children that are in our care. This is an urgent need as the children are currently and will continue to sleep on air mattresses in the meantime. Any help with fulfilling this request would be very appreciated. We are asking for help with a twin size mattress and twin size platform bedframe.

Mother and father with 4 children ages 2-15 living in a 2 bedroom apartment with limited space. The father has just recently been able to work more hours due to work being seasonal. This mother and father are in need of a new bed and two youngest children as well who are sleeping in same room. The bed size need for parents is a queen. The 2yr old daughter and 8 yr old son would appreciate a twin bunk bed. Currently they are sleeping in a small toddler bed each. These beds will provide personal space for each child. The family is also in need of a livingroom sofa and chair. This could be either a sofa and loveseat or sofa and chair. The family is not picky. Currently they have no sofa. Thank you for considering to help this family as the oldest child begins therapy and the other children assist parents with language barrier while attending school.

Two active and bright kiddos ages two and six have been placed in the care of their aunt for almost two years now. During that time their aunt has taken them in to her home and provided them with a safe, loving and stable home. The aunt is a single mom of four children of her own and has now taken on the responsibility of two additional kids. She has opened up her heart and home to allow her niece and nephew a chance to be with family instead of the children being placed in separate homes. With a total of six children in the home that range from ages 2-18 things are a little tight and the aunt needs help to provide things for them at times. The family is in need of two tall dressers to help keep the children’s clothes in. They are asking for the tall dressers that has at least 5 drawers due to limited space in the bedrooms. If you are able to help out with this need it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Half of this repair has been taken care of already. Unfortunately this father is not able to pick up his car without the other half of the payment and he is having a difficult time coming up with the rest. This father uses this car to pick up his daughter from school for visits, since the car has been in the shop for weeks he has missed out on precious time with his daughter which slows the process of reunification. With this weight lifted this father will be able to focus on his daughter and then bring her back home sooner.
