I'm needing a mother to go complete a Urine analysis for me.

There is a 19 yr old foster child who is currently without placement and staying in a motel with her grandmother. They do not have access to a refrigerator or microwave. They are in need of groceries or gift cards to nearby restaurants. In the past they have been provided with peanut butter, jelly, bread, tuna fish, chips, donuts, granola bars, fruit/applesauce cups, cinnamon brown sugar and cookies and cream pop tarts and Dr. Pepper which is their requested drink.

Good afternoon. I am requesting community assistance to support a older foster youth on my caseload with getting a Microwave for her new apartment. My youth in question is 20 years old and in the custody of the MO Children's Division. She is the mother of a 4-yr old girl who also lives with her and she recently moved from a transitional program to her own apartment in St. Joseph, MO. My youth obtained her CNA and has a job lined up and a start date set but she hasn't started just yet and is needing a few items to get settled in her new home. She is requesting help to obtain a microwave for her apartment. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!

A mother of three, who is currently a full-time college studen, has a 5-month-old baby who is beginning to eat solid foods. She is in need of a high chari, as the one she has is missing the seat pad and safety straps, making it unsafe for the baby. The family would be very grateful for a new or gently used high chari.

Mom has just got her daughter back in the home after being placed with dad for a while. The family has been through a lot of trauma. Mom is struggling to maintain food and utilities in the home. She is needing help with getting food and paying her utility bill.

This will help to alleviate concerns of feeding and nourishing the child. Making sure she can have access to food every day.

Asking for a $200 gift card for food and help paying utility bill.

Requesting assistance for a (8) year old boy. Two of his siblings share a bed; however, he sleeps on two stacked toddler mattress. There is no way this child is getting a good night's sleep. He is too tall. On behalf of the (8) year old boy, a twin bed is desperately needed. I do not believe bedding is needed. Thank you in advance.

Grandma is raising 8 of her grandchildren. She is requesting a day bed or a day bed with a trundle underneath. Three of her grandchildren are under the age of three. She likes to rock them to sleep in her arms. She would like to have a daybed in the living room so she would be able to rock them to sleep and transfer them over to the day bed so they can nap. They are too heavy for her to carry them asleep to their rooms. Also, she would love to have a wide rocking chair so both her and her grandbabies can fit while she is rocking them. Grandma is the backbone of the family. She needs to take care of her body in order to be able to care for all her grandbabies.

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.

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.

Family of 5 needs (3) dehumidifer's for kid's bedrooms in the basement. There are fans in the bedrooms; however, the rooms are very stuffy and smells like mildew. Any help would be appreciated. It is possible for the girls to open their doors and share one of the deumidifer's, if needed.

Mother is currently needing help due to recent injury at work and getting paid less. She is concerned about her son stealing the marijuana she is using to assist her medically and that is causing major tension in the household.
