Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This family is in urgent need of help with construction materials and, if possible, labor after their home was flooded by rains and flash-flooding in June. This family has been working on their home since June, taking out damaged flooring, cabinets, and drywall. This family is facing a daunting recovery process with their four young children (ages 3 months to 7 years). Adding to their challenges, the mother and two of her children suffer from hemophilia, a rare bleeding disorder requiring extensive medical attention and costly treatment. It is important to help this family fix their home to avoid molding issues, which could impact everyone's health. Thank you.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A mother of five currently resides with her parents and serves as the primary caregiver for her father, who recently experienced his fourth stroke. Due to his medical condition, he now requires the use of a walker for mobility. However, the family’s home has steps at the front entrance, which present a significant barrier to safe access.

The family is seeking assistance with the installation of an accessibility ramp at the front of the house. This modification is critical to ensuring the father’s ability to enter and exit the home safely for medical appointments and daily needs, while also reducing the physical strain on family members assisting him.

Help Reintegrate a Survivor of Human Trafficking

We are working with a client who is a mom of 8, needing assistance with her car. Grace Mobile Repair has assessed the car and determined that the fuel pressure sensor needs repaired. The total amount includes the part, as well as the labor. This single mom is trying to keep her job, as well as provide for her kids. Her only mode of transportation is vital for this family. They are also battling some housing insecurity, so stable transportation would be a big win for this family.

Hey Team, since we are "Serving with Joy" I have a single mom that is currently in need and is employed with Wichita State University. She did some extra contractual work in marketing for WSU and when they finally paid her, it was short by $400. She was expecting the full amount in order to meet her rent. This underpayment was unexpected and unforeseen and is causing a hardship for her and her family. She is asking for help to secure her monthly rent. Any and all help is welcomed.

This pregnant mom and her family are trying to move into a new apartment by the end of the month when their lease ends. She has to pay off a lease from a previous apartment before she is able to move into a new place. We are working on long-term planning for jobs, housing, and childcare. However, she is unable to move forward on any of those until she has this lease paid off and has a place to stay at the end of the month. She has about half of it saved up so far and needs about $500 to finally end that debt!

Hey CarePortal family, I have a request for help from a single mom. Her husband deserted the family without any financial support and he has no plans of returning. To ensure that this bio family of three can stay together safely, they need their utilities paid off (Evergy $1300.00 and Kansas Gas $609.00) because this is hindering their ability to get new service at another location. They also need help finding a new home or apartment to rent. This is a very difficult and stressful situation for this family and they could really use our help. I am requesting each need as a separate CAREPORTAL request.

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

The Foster Care Homes and the Licensing departments with Saint Francis works with relative, NRKIN, and general care foster homes, and tend to run into needs of these items listed to remain in compliance with DCF. SFM workers like to have these items on hand to help accommodate our families and ensuring they remain in compliance so children can remain in their home. Fire extinguishers, first aid kits, fire and CO2 detectors, and medication lock boxes are of the greatest need. Thank you for your consideration.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Hey family, while we are continuing to "help people intentionally" I have an adult female that has been homeless for two long years. She was released from confinement (arrested for domestic disturbance) and upon returning to her home she found that her family had evacuated the home and she was given an eviction notice. This meant she had to start anew, and she was able to do odd jobs to earn money while actively looking for permanent work. While going to AA and NA meetings (self directed, not required) unfortunately she was robbed of $700 and doesn't have $500 for rent this month. Her goal is to reunite with her 3 children in a safe and stable home.

Updated on June 16, 2025 by an Agency Worker
Just to update the information initially taken, these children that are in the home are grandchildren. She came into our agency and got clothing for them.
