I am currently working with a teenage girl who was removed from her home and placed with her cousin. The child is in need of a queen bed and a mattress. She is currently sleeping on an air mattress.

I am submitting a request to care portal to assist in getting 3 twin mattresses for these children. The kinship provider already has the frames, but is not financially able to get the mattresses at this time. This will also allow her to financially take care of the other needs of the children at this time.

This amazing grandmother has had custody of her granddaughter for about a year and a half now. She continually puts the needs of her granddaughter ahead of her own, and has worked tirelessly to get connected to benefits and local resources. She has had many successes in the last year and a half, including finding a new home and addressing needs of her granddaughter than had been previously neglected. A series of recent, unforeseen events has grandma’s finances especially tight right now, and she could really use help with her rent. She has been able to pay all of her other utilities, but is unsure how she is going to come up with money for rent due on the first. Any assistance toward her $1,059 rent would be appreciated!

This devoted mother of three adopted young kiddos is working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after unexpected circumstances. Her work was recently impacted by a cyberattack and she has found herself without income for the next 20-30 days. If this alone wasn’t a challenge, all three children have medically complex needs and she is constantly traveling to and from Columbus for various appointments. After paying their mortgage, Mom is worried about how she will come up with their car payments and cover the extra gas required for upcoming appointments. She is currently doing everything in her power to bring in some kind of money and connect to community resources. Asking for help is super tough for Mom, but she has never been in this predicament before. Any assistance toward their two car payments and/or a gas card would be so helpful to this family. Thank you for your consideration!

Mom's Wraparound Coordinator reached out to me to share mom has fallen behind on her rent and has spent the last few weeks reaching out to every resource available for help. Mom is raising her child alone and has been working with community organizations throughout the year successfully to keep her kiddo on track which has made significant impact and gains in school, but has financially gotten behind. Helping her with her rent would allow her to continue to staying on track to ensure her child is able to continue his much needed services, and housing security.

I have an upper elementary student who is struggling academically and in need of summer tutoring, but the family cannot afford to pay for it. This cost would cover tutoring sessions twice a week for 12 weeks at our school.

The family we are involved with has 2 sons, one is an infant in the home with some physical disabilities. The family just moved into a new home and they are in need of a lock box/small safe for the home to ensure the children in the home stay safe. The infant in the home is in need of a new formula. The formula has just been changed due him struggling with his old formula, however the parents have not received the new prescription and have not been able to get cans of this formula. As on 5/21 they did have one can that was already opened. I would like to get the family 4 cans so they can have a little extra until WIC can get them started on the new prescription.
