First Baptist Church Platte City

We have a family who is on the verge of homelessness and is late on their rent. It would be helpful to get her late bill covered and would relieve a lot of stress on the child.

I have a single mother whose phone has been shut off. Her daughter suffers from seizures and mom utilizes her phone to get ahold of nurses when she has concerns, to make appointments and to schedule Medicaid transportation for those appointments. Once this need is met this will allow mother to continue to be able to contact her doctor with any other concerns and be able to schedule follow up visits for her daughter.

Hello, Care Portal, and happy Monday!

We urgently seek your amazing support to assist a mother who is striving to get her life back on track. Mrs. B needs help covering the cost of one week’s rent at a local Oxford home. This will provide her with a structured, sober-living environment and a supportive community, which are crucial for her recovery from substance use disorder.

Mrs. B is putting in her best effort and is motivated to continue her recovery process. With your support, she will not only feel empowered but her daughter will also be able to have her mother back sooner.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I look forward to hearing from you and making a positive impact together.

The school community closet Warrior Closet gives every kid who visits for back-to-school backpack and school clothes shopping a brand new pair of shoes to start school in. We are preparing for our August 5th opening back. We had 99 kids come through last year for the three-day 6hrs of events. I like to put this out early so people contributing can keep an eye on the sales and when, especially Famous footwear and or Rackroom, do buy one get one 1/2 off bogos on shoes and backpacks. They also put a lot of shoes on clearance that you can buy with the BOGOs too. The kids 11 through size 1 love the character shoes. The 2 and or above ones I would do something they can wear more with everything.

This request is to help a single mother and her elementary student furnish their new apartment. The family arrived in the United States one year ago and were residing with extended family in a 2-bedroom apartment. Due to domestic violence, the family left and through the support of CarePortal, were able to secure their own apartment. The family does not have the financial means to furnish their new space. The family does not have living room furniture such as a couch or chairs. A staff member at the student's school has offered to donate those items, however we do not currently have a way to transport them to the family. The family also is in need of kitchen utensils and cookware, plates, bowls, and cups, two dressers, kitchen chairs, and cleaning supplies. They currently do not own any cleaning items to be able to use.

On March 28th, this family had a police high speed chase on their street, and as a result one of the cars involved in the chase totaled both of their vehicles and went through the front of their house. This family has been financially devastated by the unexpected expenses while waiting for insurance reimbursements to come through. They are currently living in a hotel until the house is repaired and utilizing has many community resources as possible, such as food pantries but do not qualify for many resources due to not typically being a low income family. As of today, the family only has a couple of hundred dollars left to last them through the beginning of next month.

Currently, the family has $719 in miscellaneous bills such as gas, insurance premiums, hospital payment plans, and others. Additionally, they are having to pay out of pocket for hotel costs until reimbursements can come through. The family is so grateful for any assistance. We are asking for $1,500 to cover the miscellaneous bills and the remainder to go towards the hotel costs until their house is able to be repaired. Thank you for your consideration.

UPDATE- the family is back in the home, while safe to be in, the repairs are not complete and insurance is still a struggle. (CG)
