Hello, I have a foster parent in need of a couple of items to help with a baby in her care. First, she is asking for a walker. The 7-month-old she is caring for has started crawling and pulling up on everything. She would like to have the security of knowing he is not able to get himself stuck behind, between, or under something while she is cooking, cleaning, doing other household chores, or caring for the 2 two-year-olds in her care as well. That leads to her second request, a pack-and-play. The two-year-olds managed to climb into it, proceeded to jump around and broke hers. If you have either of these items that your little one may have outgrown recently, she would be very happy to take them off your hands.

Hello! We are looking for a little help for a father that has successfully reunified with his children. This dad has really gone above and beyond to ensure his children were returned, and issues were corrected. There were some issues at reunification that actually resulted in the kids being returned about 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Dad needs a little help meeting the financial needs a little early. We are asking for a lawn mower any in working order will help! His yard is not large so a push mower is much appreciated. Shortly after the children were returned his clothes dryer bit the dust. We are asking for an electric clothes dryer in working condition if possible. Any help is appreciated!

Parents of five are need of transportation assistance to get to family time at the DHS office, which is difficult from their location on the bus. An Uber or Lyft card would support them to see their children.

We have a family in need of a computer monitor and printer. The family would like to become more proficient in using computers. They also believe by having a computer is will open doors to various career opportunities. The family is open to used equipment as well.

A single mother, who is trial reunification with her daughter, needs help paying her rent due to having to take time off to adjust with her daughter in her home. This money will be used to support the family and preserve the placement.

Please bless this single mom by covering her psychiatric bill. Mom has fled a domestic violence situation, and is doing well repairing her life.

Please help us reunify this bio family. This is a one income household due to mom having many health issues. Both parents are engaging in services, however, this requires that dad go into work 2 hours late. Please help this family by assisting with their water bill. Thank you in advance and God Bless!

I am working with the great aunt of an eleven year old male. The great aunt has taken placement of the young man and is the process of being approved for placement. He has with the great aunt since the great aunt since 04/28/2025 and will stay with her until she is either approved or denied for placement. Great aunt cannot apply for food stamps until placement is approved and it could take up to two weeks for approval. Great aunt is requesting grocery assistance if it all possible!

I am working with a biological family of three. Dad has been unable to work for two weeks due to doctor restrictions of a much needed surgery he received. The family was able to stay afloat while Dad recovered because Mom is also employed, but Dad's time off is going to make the family late on rent. Rent is $750 a month and the family has $450 to put towards rent. The family is requesting rental assistance in the amount $300.

Invest in your hair. Its the crown you never take off. A vibrant fifteen year old girl is hoping to get her hair braided. Her foster mom has called around to find the best deal for the service and has a found someone who will do it for two hundred dollars. This amount also includes the hair needed. Unfortunately this amount is a little too much for the foster parents to afford at this time. By funding this service you are helping the foster parents provide for the teenager and also helping the young women have self confidence. Gaining more confidence will help this young women continue to take on the challenges she faces. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration, and your commitment to lifting up those in your community.

Hello! We are asking you to please help a young lady by providing her with funding to attend a summer school program in order to keep her education on track. She is 12 years old and due to neglect, she is falling behind in her classes. Fulfilling this request would allow her to continue on her education journey and graduate on time. She is currently in a kinship foster home and the foster parents are unable to provide the funds needed. Thank you for your generosity!

The department is working with a single mother who is desperately needing a new car seat for her 9 month old child. Unfortunately, all the mother has for her son currently is his infant car seat that he is quickly outgrowing. This single mother is in need of a convertible car seat that can be rear and forward facing and could grow with him as he continues to develop appropriately. I am certain this natural mother will accept any and all assistance offered to her at this time. This mother has requested something similar to the Safety First Grow and Go™ All-in-One Convertible Car Seat
