We are working with a single mother of 3 young children. Mom has been in the system before and has huge trust concerns with DCF. We were able to break down some of the barriers and mom accepted help for the first time. Mom finally located a job and walks everywhere. She is needing a stroller for her two youngest children.

Good afternoon all, I am reaching out to our prayer family to request help addressing the immediate need of this expectant mother and child. This mom is striving to preserve her family unit. KFAN is requesting assistance from the CAREPORTAL participants to help the family move into a secure, safe and sanitary living environment. This assistance will keep the bio family from being homeless and prevent her young child from going into States custody. Staff members have contacted The Red Roof Inn and negotiated a cheaper nightly rate for a two week stay, while other resources are being sought. We are looking for any assistance that would help this family get into a safe place. The negotiated price is $450 per week, including tax.

A single mother of two girls 15yo and 7yo, has just recently lost her job, unexpectedly. Mom has no family that is able to help with covering bills.

She has since turned her behavior around and is now working at a grocery store, finishing online school, and doing her best to make safe and sound choices.

This request is for the tags and taxes to register a vehicle, but any other monetary donation to even get a down payment on the vehicle is also welcome.
