Help Make a Kinship Placement
A loving and dedicated grandmother is doing her best to care for her 10-year-old granddaughter and 7-year-old grandson. Despite the financial challenges she faces, her love for them is unwavering. She is seeking support to provide the children with the school supplies they need, such as notebook paper, pencils, pens, crayons, markers, erasers, posters, glue, and tapeāso they can start the school year with confidence. This small act of kindness would help relieve some of the financial pressure on this grandmother and ensure the children have the essentials they deserve. Additionally, the children would greatly benefit from clothing support, whether through gift cards or access to free clothing, to help them feel ready for the school year ahead.

A devoted and loving grandmother is doing her best to care for her 10-year-old granddaughter and 7-year-old grandson. Despite facing significant financial hardship, she remains focused on providing a safe and nurturing home for them. With tick season quickly approaching, sheās deeply concerned about the health and safety of her grandchildren. Tall grass not only invites insects but also increases the risk of tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease.
Due to a cervical spine injury sustained while working in 2025, her mobility has become limited, and she's now living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, sheās unable to afford regular lawn care and cannot safely manage the yard herself.
She would be incredibly grateful for a working lawnmowerānew or gently usedāso she can keep her yard maintained and her grandchildren safe. Any support would make a meaningful difference in their lives.

A devoted grandmother is the primary caregiver to her beloved 10-year-old granddaughter and 7-year-old grandson. Every day, she does her best to provide a stable, loving home for them, despite the many challenges she faces. Right now, she is in urgent need of a gas stove. Her current stove no longer works, making it difficult to prepare the healthy, home-cooked meals her grandchildren depend on. Living on a fixed income, she recently had to spend her limited savings on car repairs so she could continue getting to vital doctor appointments. She is currently on workers' compensation due to a cervical spine injury she suffered on the job in early 2025. The injury has greatly limited her mobility, adding to the physical and emotional toll of her situation. Despite these hardships, she remains strong and full of love for her grandchildren. A new or gently used gas stove would make a world of difference in her ability to care for them. Any support would mean so much to this family and would help bring comfort and stability back to their kitchen ā and their lives.

- A loving grandmother and granddaughter are in need of support with clothing while they are looking for a new place to stay. As the seasons change and the teenage granddaughter has grown it has proven to be a challenge to make sure the clothes continue to fit appropriately. This family would be so grateful for any support with this while they navigate the next steps on a new place to live this would take a big burden off their shoulders. Some of their favorite places to shop are Walmart, target, Tj Maxx and Marshals gift cards to any of these stores would be more than appreciated.

A devoted and loving grandmother has opened her heart and home to care for her four young grandchildren, ages 8, 7, 4, and 2. In this beautiful yet challenging new chapter, she is giving everything she has to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for the children.
Living on a fixed income, she is facing significant financial hardship. In this moment of need, she urgently requires essential cleaning supplies, including washing detergent, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deodorant for both boys and girls, trash bags, disinfectant spray, Lysol wipes, paper towels, and toilet paper.
Though this transition has not been easy, she is doing everything she can to adjust, always putting her grandchildrenās needs first and working hard to create a sense of normalcy and love. Any support at this time would mean more than words can expressāit would ensure the children can stay with their grandmother in a loving kinship placement, keeping them connected to family and surrounded by care. It would also give her the time she needs to stabilize and receive the benefits that will allow her to continue providing for them in the future.
Thank you for considering supporting this remarkable grandmother and her family during this important time.
