Hello everyone, I have an adopted mother on my caseload in the final stages of adopting a sibling set. The children are ages 5, 9, and 10. They all have been in the home going on three years in October. The adoptive mom desperately needs her utility bill paid because of a surge in pricing. The adoptive mom has done a tremendous job caring for all three children and giving them the life and care they weren’t used to before coming into custody. When I visit the family, the siblings constantly tell me how they feel loved and safe with their new mother. As their worker, I can see the extraordinary change with the girls. They always appear to be at peace, happy, and thriving. The family would surely be grateful if anyone in the community could assist with half or all of the bill.
