A foster home in Delaware County is needing assistance with an air conditioning repair. It Is probably needing to be replaced altogether. The foster parent has had technicians look at it. She’s getting different answers. The unit is over 30 years old . The foster parent could have the unit repaired for around $700. Repairing or replacing would be wonderful. This is a foster parent who helps out with respite and emergency placements when our kiddos are in transition to a longer term placements. She is a bridge we are so fortunate to have. She rarely says no when asked to take in a child. It could be a day or a few days, She opens her home, no hesitation. With the summer upon us, temperatures are rising and temperatures are rising in her home. Taking in children is becoming more difficult as she is using portable air units and can only cool so many rooms. This limits her to how many children she will take in because she refuses to have the children sleep in a hot room. We really want to connect her with the right resources to fix her air conditioning unit, because she is not having any luck at this moment. We always appreciate the time to consider this request.

A new foster home is in need of home repairs after a serious storm caused a tree to fall into their home, a home they had only been in for 4 months after spending the last 16 months remodeling it to live in. A few days before the storm, the family had been approved to start taking in children and immediately took in a teenager. Just as the everyone is trying to settle. they now have damage that is so severe, they cannot live in the home. The family will have to have the home repaired very soon as their current living situation will not be feasible very long as foster parents. The foster family, with assistance of friends and family is able to do many of the repairs themselves, but are needing assistance with material costs. The family provided a detailed estimate of costs. The foster family has a background in home building. Most of the costs are for materials they need for tasks of the project they can handle. A few of the costs involve costs for labor, as there is certain things such as the roof, they need labor assistance with. I have an estimate provided by the family and I can share upon request. The family is appreciative of any help offered.

I have a kinship foster family who is currently in need of two tall, stand up, dressers for two boys! When the boys were placed in their home, they were given a dresser with fabric drawers that have since been falling apart. Foster parents have looked at every thrift store in town and haven't been able to locate any dressers. This would be such a huge help in keeping these two boys in their current placement, together, with family! Thank you for your consideration in helping with this need!!

Foster family is in need of a narrow car seat (Preferably a Graco SlimfitLX3) to allow them to transport all the children in one vehicle. Currently, they have to take two vehicles to transport all the children, but both foster parents work full time and their schedules are not the same. This makes doing stuff as a family outside of the house difficult. This is their first placement and they are very motivated and caring individuals, who are very attentive to the children's needs. The car seat is for a 1 year old.
