I am working a prevention case to prevent removal of 4 children from a single mother who lives with maternal grandmother and grandfather. Their electric is a prepaid account and is in danger of being shut off due to depleted funds. We are in need of funds to replenish their account. The family just bought food with their food stamps and is in jeopardy of the food ruining if the electric is shut off.

Family of four-2 parents 18 years old and 2 toddlers, 1 having critical ongoing medical needs. They are needing a video baby monitor with 2-3 cameras and the ability to connect through an app. This will enable the child to be monitored when sleeping and then for the parents to be able to check in on their child while they are away and the nurse is in charge. It is difficult for the parents to trust anyone with this sick little guy but they do have to be out of the home from time to time and this type of camera would ease their minds when they do have to be gone. They just moved into their own apartment and are in need of a large kitchen trash can, a sanitary mop, cleaning supplies, a large package of child safety outlet covers, personal hygiene items such as body wash and soap, deodorant, feminine products etc. ,a large storage bin with shelves that locks where the baby's supplies and medication can be safely kept. These young parents are doing great things and are learning to manage their children's needs in the safest ways.

Two young boys ages 10 and 3 just were recently moved into a kinship placement. We were able to get them bunk beds and dressers for their room. But unfortunately the one thing missing is a television so that the oldest can plug his game up and get a break away from the littles running around the home.

I have a family living in a sober living house that has moved into a room that had bed bugs. Now, all their stuff has been infected and we are needing money for a storage unit and 3 mattress protectors. The storage unit will be used to store all their things while we bomb them to kill any infestation. The family can not afford to replace all their items. The beds were purchased around 2 months ago and are new with new mattresses. We need the storage unit to also prevent the bed bugs from spreading to other areas of the home and disrupting more families. This is needed ASAP as we will have to address the issue today. Thank you so much for your help!

A single father of three children of limited income cannot provide for extensive professional lice treatment for his 8 year-old disabled daughter. There are concerns of bites/sores becoming infected. Lice treatments have been provided previously that are not working. This is causing the child to miss school numerous days due to this issue. Professional treatment can be provided by Lice Treatment Centers of America in Rogers, Arkansas or Tulsa, Oklahoma. This will greatly approve this child's quality of life and limit the amount of child welfare referrals received for this family.

This family is in need of two twin size mattresses and two twin size bed frames for their two children. The family would also benefit from two zip up twin size plastic mattress protectors to ensure the mattresses remain clean. Either two separate twin beds or bunk beds would work for this family. The family is currently sharing a queen size mattress. These twin size beds would allow the children to each have their own bed in the bedroom they share. If possible, they are also in need of twin size sheets, comforters, pillowcases, and new pillows. Thank you!

The foster family has only one income as it is a single family home. The children were recently placed from out of state and 1 child is in need of a new baseball glove. The child has been signed up for baseball as it was something he did prior but no longer has a glove.
