A sibling set of four kids (ages 15, 13, 11 and 9) will be moving to their foster to adopt home by the end of this month. The family has purchased beds, clothes and sports equipment for the children, including uniform shirts for oldest brother, who has a job. Everyone is so excited for the children to stay together and move into their future forever home. Foster parents have stretched finances thin in order to quickly obtain all the items in anticipation of these kiddos coming. The last missing items they need help with is a dresser for each child. They have been looking locally for reasonably priced dressers and buy/sell/trade sites, and but haven't had any luck. This family of two, soon to be a family of six would be so grateful and blessed to receive any assistance with obtaining dressers for the kids. Thank you in advance for your consideration, God Bless!

Elementary school family is in need of assistance. Father was severely injured while working and has been in the hospital for months, mother was not the main financial provider. The family has had to make a lot of adjustments and father has yet to receive his financial compensation from insurance or disability. We have connected family to state assistance and other local resources, but mother is in desperate need for assistance with her vehicle registration ($205) that is due this month as well as size 4 diapers for her youngest child. As the family adjusts to a lower income, and brings father home there may be more needs in the future but right now she has identified this as the most stressing need to their income.

The Hutchinson Saint Francis Ministries office needs help restocking clothing items that are frequently needed by children and youth at the office. At times, children and youth come into custody and they may not have any clothes or may be missing socks or underwear and we need extras for them. We also have kids without stable placement that need clothes or just a change of clothes so they can shower, and we can wash their dirty clothes for them. Any donations are appreciated. Packages of items to help provide more is great, especially socks and underwear. Socks can be ankle, tube socks or long socks. Thank you for your consideration, God Bless!

Three little brothers (ages 3, 1 and 9 months) have endured severe mistreatment, and had been unhealthy for months. They are all now in a stable, safe and supportive home that has helped them tremendously, including getting them caught up developmentally. Before landing in their current home, the sadly bounced between a few homes. Their ages are critical to them developing a sense of safety and security, and everyone is working very hard to keep these kids stable. The strain and stress has been really difficult for this foster family, as these three littles need and deserve a lot. At this time, baby brother is needing a crib that can be converted into a toddler bed (plus bedding), and this foster home is stretched thin on budgeting for all their needs. They also need a car seat for baby brother that will later convert to a booster seat. Helping provide these items will greatly relieve stress on this incredible foster family, and help them feel supported as they continue to strive to meet all the needs for these siblings. Prayers are appreciated, thank you in advance!!

A single mom to three boys, ages 7, 3 and 3, is needing assistance with obtaining a new queen OR full size mattress. Her 7 year old's bed had to be replaced, so she gave him her bed.

This mom has been working hard throughout services to make progress for herself and her sons. They are a bonded family, but and adjusting to a new family structure. The family has limited support, and would be blessed to receive any support during this time.

A family of four have bed bugs. Money is need to kill all the bedbugs and their eggs. They purchased a couch of of Facebook Marketplace. It was infested with little black bugs and they multiplied quickly. The father is disabled with one leg and has stage 5 kidney disease and congestive heart failure. Without help, there is no way to elminate the bugs. Students are currently being required to change clothes upon entering building and washing the clothes at school. Their computer had bugs crawling out of it so it is going to have to be left at home. Backpacks are currently not allowed to enter building until bugs have been eliminated. The students have bites all over their body. We have a quote from Advanced Pest Control. The donation can be made out directly to the company if needed.

Three bonded siblings are so excited to start overnight visits soon, but mom is needing immediate assistance obtaining beds for each child . The three kiddos need beds, frame, and bedding (sheets, pillows and blanket). Mom separated from dad, and that is why they are in need of furniture for their new home together. Mom is working and looking forward to being reunified with her children as soon as possible. The family also needs help with dressers or plastic storage drawers. Lastly, they do not currently have living room furniture, - any help with a table, couch or loveseat/recliner would help make their new apartment feel like home. Lastly, the children need toys for their new home. M (6/M), N (4/F) and little brother E (age 2) would love any age appropriate toys! New or gently used items are appreciated to help this family out.

J. (15/Male) is happy to be placed in his loving aunt's home through kinship placement. His aunt recently moved into an apartment, and is on a very limited income. J. really needs a dresser in his new bedroom, this will help him keep organize his clothes and maintain a clean bedroom. This kinship home could also use help with furniture for the living room. A couch and/or recliner would help give the family a place to spend time, and a coffee table. Lastly a small dining table with a couple chairs (due to limited space) would allow them to eat meals together, and provide J. a place to do homework as well. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

Single Mother/Grandmother raising her three boys and her 1yo grandchild needs a washer, she is without after hers broke down. She washes for 5 people every week, and it can be hard for her to keep up going over to wash at another persons home weekly. Mother is asking for a newer running washer one that she will not have to put parts into and fix. If the laundry gets behind too much, then the 1yo will be wearing dirty clothes, and the younger boys will also have to go to school in dirty clothes. Mother is trying to make the best of it, but the place she has been washing has asked her to quit coming by to do this, because it wears out their washer. She can not afford to take the clothing to a laundry mat. Please contact Jaylene Burge(###) ###-####
