Need help in purchasing new football cleats and helmet visor for a 14 y/o boy who recently reunified with his mom. Throughout his time in care he changed between multiple placements and different schools. Despite the many transfers, the teenager maintained excellent grades and attendance and has been able to play football at each school. He is growing rapidly and needs new cleats and a required visor for his new team. Football is extremely important to him and he works hard to ensure he can play in addition to his educational goals. He has high hopes and aspirations to attend college and interest in computers/coding. He utilizes football as a healthy coping skill and gains many skills from his coaches and team such as teamwork, discipline, and physical exercise. Either the specific items or a gift card to a sporting goods store would help obtain the items and allow him to pick out the right fit/style himself as he is learning financial skills as a teenager such as how much items cost, how to shop around, and check out/pay for yourself. Helping meet this need would free up funds in the home for other necessary items.

Two single moms, each with 2 children, are in need of extra support. Although they are both employed, they struggle financially to make ends meet. They are in need of basic furniture items for their home, including a couch, a kitchen table with 6 chairs, a vacuum cleaner, and clothing storage items. A plastic dresser or storage cart for each child would be ideal. The children include a girl (age 10) and three boys (ages, 7, 4, & 4). Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. Having a table and chairs in time for Thanksgiving would be a blessing.

There is a need for a mother who is raising her 12 year old son who has a serious heart condition. This mother just moved into a separate house from the patient's father and is renting for the first time. About three months ago Mom decided that the environment her and her son were living in was not conducive to a healthy lifestyle so she found a rental property and is working hard as a housekeeper in order to pay the rent. Mom is needing assistance with a washing machine. She reports that she has a functional dryer but the washing machine is broken and she thinks she needs a new one completely! If a church is willing to support this Mom and her son it would be greatly appreciated! Additionally, the hospital social worker sent Mom a link for her to apply for food stamps but as of now, she has been paying for rent and utilities and food out of pocket and could really use support during this gap of time when the food stamps are not active yet. This Mother is Spanish-speaking only!

We are desperately asking for donations and/or someone that can provide hair care services to one of our children currently in need.

This 5 year old little boy has suffered extreme trauma and neglect throughout most of his young life. Per recommendation we have enrolled this young boy in Hip hop dance lessons in order for him to express his emotions in a positive and constructed way. Being so young we are experiencing many emotions we are not verbally able to express or understand. Hip Hop offered not only positive social interaction with peers, but also a method to express himself through motion. Not to mention it is a BIG self esteem booster for Him. We are asking for support for the Fee associated with this class. We would like to keep him in a stable environment since most of his young life has been dysregulated and unpredictable. Please help us continue to change this little boys life for the better. Our future is a direct reflection of our youth. Thank you Jennifer Case Manager Updated on November 08, 2023 by an Agency Worker

Parents recently immigrated to the US with their ten children. Mother just delivered her 11th child, a baby with a significant cardiac defect. Mother does not work as she is the primary caregiver to the children. Father works as a High School Custodian and does not have a paid paternity leave.

Parents are struggling financially and requested assistance with their rent due to father taking a recent non-paid leave.

This family is working reintegration and living in Missouri. However, until the interstate approval goes through (ICPC), they cannot have overnight visits at the home, This would allow for the children to spend the night together as a family in Kansas. These parents have been working hard to get everything ready for their children to come home. We are so close, but cannot do overnights due to the location currently.

The children have been in care and the parents have been working hard at completing the tasks needed to bring the children home. KVC is working under the regulations of the ICPC and are not able to have the children stay in Missouri until it is approved. This family would love to spend the holiday together and could do that if they stay in a hotel in Kansas. We would love to put them in a hotel with an indoor pool for some family memories as well. Thank you!
