Help Strengthen a Bio Family

High Urgency Request
This family is only needing help for their utility bill that has gone out of there budget. It doesn't seem like it is a reoccurring issue with the family. They are capable of keeping up with the following payments, but one month had gotten away from them and has now piled up and it is beyond what they can afford alone. They are reaching out and asking for help. The household consists of 3, both parents and a child. The bill is 274$ to avoid shut off, but the entire bill is $444.

Critical Request
A single mother of 4 kids. Mom has experienced homelessness and in February 2023 got a home for her and her kids. She does not work and is needing help paying her rent for the month. Mom is great and working hard to get back on her feet. $230 is needed as soon as possible. Updated on May 30, 2023 by an Agency Worker
The mother of this family has followed up with me several times regarding this need. If there are any churches who could do part of the $230 that is needed, that would work as well.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

High Urgency Request
We have a family who came into care, set of 4 siblings who are being split between two placements. The youngest two, aged 3 and 7, are in dire need of a bed, frame, and possible sheets/pillow. The placement is a family member who also has her own children and went from feeding 5 mouths to 7 and she is struggling financially and also left her job to care for the 3-year-old full time. She is in need of beds for both children as she just doesn't have the extra. If we can get a trundle bed, that would be preferred she said but will take what is given to help. These kids have been through a lot already and we are just trying to ease the stress and help maintain their placement.

High Urgency Request
Single mother of child, 7, recently got into a bad car accident that resulted in her car being totaled. This has affected her ability to go to work as this was her only transportation and she has no other assistance nor many family or friends near enough to help. She could really use help with covering the rest of her rent for this month while she figures out her next steps and gets back on her feet. She is a very engaged and hardworking parent and is very close to reintegrating with her young son. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
