This Park Hill student and his mother were involved in a situation that caused them need to leave their home to stay safe.

I have two girls who were disrupted from their original foster home and now live with their aunt in her one bedroom apartment. The girls sleep in their aunt's bed while their aunt sleeps in the living room, and we're requesting potential help in getting a bunk bed for the girls to sleep in and call their own.

We have a 12 year old female who is placed in a residential facility in Columbia, Missouri. Her family lives in Kansas City. Her sister and her aunt would like to be able to go and see their sister and bring her back on weekends once a month so that she can see her 5 other siblings. Family is really important to our youth and her being in Columbia has made it hard for her family to go see her. Her family does not have the financial ability to make it to and from Columbia often. The request is for gas cards so that the aunt or sister can go pick their sister up once a month for a pass to see her family. I can keep the gas cards at my office and provide them to the aunt or sister once a month.

DCCCA is working with a mother who has been homeless and living in a hotel for seven months. The family has been able to obtain housing and will be ready to move in this weekend. The last obstacle is paying off past due utilities so mom can connect electricity at the new home. Two of the children have been living with family and friends because there was not enough space at the hotel. Having this cost covered not only gets mom out of the hotel room, it will put the family back together under one roof. Mom has contributed what she can to the bill and has obtained assistance from community resources and this amount is what remains after other resources have been tapped out. Thank you in advance for helping this family get into a home and be reunited!

I am working with a low-income family who has a five year old with significant developmental delays. The five year old is in need of extensive dental treatment. Because of his special needs and the amount of work he needs, he will need to have anesthesia. We have referred the family to a number of dentists in the area and have tried to find a dentist that can offer the services at a discounted price. However, due to the nature of his disability, he requires a dentist with a special skill set to work with his sensory issues (tactile defensiveness, sensitivity to touch, etc). We were happy to find a dentist that is a good fit for the child and who has agreed to discount his fees from 6,009 to 3,000 dollars, making the total cost $3,000. The child is in extreme pain which has affected his ability to eat and participate in classroom activities. The family is trying to raise money to help with the cost. Any amount donated as soon as possible would be super helpful for this family. We are also open to any referrals to great dentists that may offer services to this child at a lower cost. Thanks in advance for considering this request.
