Kinship foster parent took seven children into their home. They are taking the last two siblings this week and need one chest of drawers for the children being placed. The kinship home is not receiving any payments at this time and need help with this item. It will help preserve a placement and allow siblings to all be placed together in one home.

Kinship foster parent needs help with an exterminator. They took placement of seven children, when the second bunch of children were placed in the home they brought roaches in with them. The kinship foster parents are not getting payment yet and are unable to afford the exterminator as their money is going to care for the home and children. Please help to preserve this placement.

Mother of three has taken placement of four children who are related to her. These children were removed from their past placement and in need of immediate care. Maintaining this placement would keep the children near family and reduce the trauma of relocation. In order to effectively keep them in her care she is in need of transportation that would accommodate all seven children, two of which are still in car seats and one in need of a booster seat. She currently drives a car that seats five and is unable to coordinate transportation to and from school or even take everyone out for fast food. DHS is hoping to at least be able to assist foster mom with a significant down payment or tax and title for her to purchase a vehicle that would meet their needs. However ideas for assistance of any type would be welcome.

Seeking food assistance to preserve and strengthen a kinship family. This youth has been in custody for 7 years and DHS is now able to reunite him with his biological family. Youth is now placed with an aunt, uncle, and cousin, but they are not yet receiving foster care reimbursement and are struggling financially in this first month of placement. This assistance would help the youth and family focus on other needs while getting settled. Also, the youth has recently found out he loves to cook and is happy he is placed with family and able to help with meal preparations.

Mother and children are currently living with the children's aunt' however, have been approved to move into a bigger home before mom has a new baby. My client told me she has a past due water bill and the deposit to pay before the water can be turned on in her name. I would like to help alleviate this stressor so the family can move into their new home with more room for 4 kids and a newborn. She is a single mom as the kids father past away. Mom has been doing everything alone.

This need is for a mother and child who have recently reunified. The mother frequently rides her bike or takes the bus. This one child bike trailer/stroller would allow her child to not have to walk so far to catch the bus and enable her to take the bike when necessary. The one that I found to be the best bargain is at Walmart and is the Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Child Bicycle Trailer & Stroller. It does not need to be this specific brand and can be donated one that is donated rather than purchased new.

two siblings who will be placed together are in need of some clothing, this will help to keep siblings in the same home. A six year old and a three year old are in need of some basic items, like socks, underwear, hairbrushes, items to keep hair pulled back like hair ties , headband, winder gloves and hats and a coat for the cold.

Worker has a low income family that is in need of a bunk bed to help house their three girls in the same bedroom. Currently, the child is sleeping on the living room couch, and the family does not have the funds to be able to meet the need. A triple bunk bed would be ideal for the family if at all possible.

Hello there. I have a child on my caseload who is needing some assistance with obtaining some athletic shorts for his power lifting class at school. During our monthly visit, this child expressed to me that he has been having to run laps as punishment every day as a result of not being able to afford the required black athletic shorts (with zippers for the pockets) for the course. He is so unassuming and polite that at no time (prior to me bringing it up) did he ask for help in any way. Providing this child with the uniform necessary to participate in this class that he is so passionate about without having to receive embarrassing punishment on a daily basis in front of his peers would greatly improve his well being and quality of life. Your time and consideration are very much appreciated.

Hello there. I have a family who is in need of some assistance paying their water bill. Two weeks ago, one of their children (he is 2 years old with a birthday coming up in April) came down with a very bad case of RSV. He had to be hospitalized for 3 nights. As he began to recover, the rest of the household became ill. As a result, the family has faced some unforeseen financial hardships (caregivers missing work, multiple doctor's visits, paying for medications, etc.). This family would really appreciate any kind of help you may be able to provide at this time. Thank you so much in advance for your time and consideration!
