I have a single mother that is on disability and her child is currently at a facility in Kansas City and ready for discharge. Parent's car is currently unable to make the drive but she does have a family friend that is willing to drive her down if she can provide gas money. We are really just trying to get this child home with her mother so that we can move forward with outpatient therapy for the family.

A mother and her one year old son have just moved to St. Joseph and are staying with the grandmother. They need assistance with a crib. Providing them with a crib would provide them with more financial resources.

A 14 year old boy needs a bed frame for his bed. Supplying this would free up some of the family's financial resources and help the child sleep more comfortably.

A single mother of three children needs cleaning supplies to clean her home due to lack of resources. Supplying the cleaning supplies will improve their quality of life.

Single mother of two needs help with securing two new bedroom doors for her room and her son's room. The daughter suffers from mental health issues. Mother and son need to have working doors that can be securely locked from the inside to provide them peace of mind and safety. The doors and installation are needed.

A single mother(20- years -old) and her two daughters (2-year-olds and 5- months- old) moved out of a family member's home and into their own place. Mom works full-time and has been able to independently furnish almost the whole house, but a few items are still needed. The family is in need of a microwave, washer and dryer. Mom would be very grateful for any help.

A family of four, mother (20), father(20), and their two sons ( 3, and 9 months old) moved into a new home. During a home visit, last week this worker witnessed the home was very bare with only two lawn chairs in their living room. Mom and Dad both work full time and recently were scammed out of 800 dollars in April of 2023 by a fake landlord promising them a property that did not actually exist. This family would be so grateful for any help to furnish their new home. The most needed items are a couch, twin size bed for their son ( he is currently sleeping on a toddler bed that is on the floor), and a microwave.

A family of four, mother, father, and two sons ( 2, and 3 years old) moved into a new home and currently only have 2 pack-n-plays for their sons to sleep in. Mom expressed to this worker that if she had the funds she would buy them their own twin-size bed for their new home. Both boys are getting too big physically to comfortably sleep in a pack-n-play and would both benefit from upgrading to a twin-size bed.

A family of three, mother, father, and their 18-month-old daughter recently moved into an apartment. Unfortunately, when they left their last apartment to move into mom's parents home they weren't able to keep their couch and some other items. Now that they are independent again they need some help replacing these items. The family currently doesn't have any seating in their living room or a dresser for Mom and Dad in their bedroom. Mom also told this worker they do not have a trashcan in the home.

We received a hotline on a 14 year old boy who has been abandoned by his mother and his father is not around. He is currently staying in a kinship, but he has only the clothes on his back and is wearing the providers clothes. The family was not expecting a child and could also use help with grocery money. The child is in desperate need of a pair of shoes size 10 1/2 shirts size Large Pants/jeans 34/32 Boxers size med socks for a size 10 1/2 shore $100 grocery card

Single mother of a two-year-old who receives no support from child's dad. She recently had to put her mother on hospice and her dad had emergency surgery. She was working at MWSU until she missed too much work taking care of her dad. She has checked several resources, but none were able to help because she is not working. It is hard for her to ask for help, but she is facing eviction. She owes 1,714.00. She is going to check about getting on housing but that won't help with her eviction.

A family needs both money for the laundromat and boys' 6T clothes. Getting assistance with this would help the family until they have more resources.

A family with several young children need 3T - 4T pullups and boys' 4T clothes. This would help the family financially until they are able to improve their housing situation.

There is a family that have four children four and under that have been having issues with housing and the current residence where they live. They need cleaning supplies to improve their residence so the family can stay together.

This mother was working 2 jobs while pregnant and trying to save up before giving birth. Her son came early though and was very premature. She has stopped working to be with him at the hospital and is attempting to breastfeed him since that is best for all babies but especially premature babies, but she now cannot afford her rent. She will likely be off for at least 8 weeks. Her rent is $1,300.00. The mother may be able to return to work after 8 weeks to maintain her livelihood, but in the meantime needs extra support since she had tried to plan for this event and the baby had other ideas about when to be born Updated on May 10, 2023 by an Agency Worker
Mom now has an eviction notice with a baby about to come home from the NICU and this request is even more urgent. Help would allow this baby to go home with his mother.

Family recently moved to a new home and the home did not come with a refrigerator. They do not have the money to purchase a refrigerator at this time and the landlord is not providing one for them. There are 6 children in the home, ages 1 year-11 years. There are also concerns about the children's safety with opening the door to strangers. There is a lock on the front door, but the young children know how to unlock it and open the door. They have opened the door to strangers in the past, so we are also requesting door knob covers or locks or door guards to prevent the younger children from opening the door.

A 21 year old single mother of two daughters, whom are 5 and 2 years of age recently became independent and moved into her new rental house. This mother was living with her mom who unfortunately is now entering hospice care . This is a significant loss for this family, as she was a huge support financially and emotionally. After a recent home visit at mom's new rental home she shared with this worker she is still struggling to fill her new apartment with some needed furniture items. She reported her bed is still on the ground, so is needing a queen size box spring, and frame. She is also is in need of a tv stand for the safety of the children so it's not located on the ground ( TV is around 60"). She also reported to this worker that a children's bookshelf would be beneficial to store her daughter's books nicely. Lastly she does not have a kitchen table so any table even used could be used for her and her daughters for meal time.

A mother will be moving into her own home the middle of this month. She is basically starting from scratch. She will hopefully very soon be reunited with her almost 2 year old son. This has been a long road for her and she has really came a long way. She is a very hard worker and has maintained and kept a full time job all while getting her life back on track. This mother is in need of a couch, toddler bed frame and mattress for her son. She also needs a bed frame and mattress for herself, couch, coffee table, end tables, microwave, dressers for her and her son, kids drinking cups, silverware, vaccum cleaner and baby proof items, such as baby gates, plug covers. She has done everything she has been asked to do and is willing to do whatever she needs to do for her son.
