High Urgency Request
I need a Q link wireless phone sent to the KVC Lawrence office (1202 E 23rd St Ste C Lawrence, KS 66046). I have account information. This will be for a parent to help them have access to any zoom or phone meetings that they need to attend for reintegration. They need a more reliable form of communication.

This child was going to be sent home in December but then the water was shut off and now the bill has gotten overwhelming. This mother is on the verge of being evicted and that will only set her case back even further. Please help me reunify this mother and son.

I have two girls who were disrupted from their original foster home and now live with their aunt in her one bedroom apartment. The girls sleep in their aunt's bed while their aunt sleeps in the living room, and we're requesting potential help in getting a bunk bed for the girls to sleep in and call their own.

A low-income family is in need of a temporary dumpster as they are cleaning and making small renovations to their home. A dumpster would only be needed for a few days. Such efforts will assist the family to improve the condition of their home to be appropriate for returning the children home. Parents are very respectful and motivated to have their children reintegrate, they will likely be flexible to coordinate this assistance.

A NRKIN foster home recently took placement of a sibling set of two children, female age 3 and male age 2. The family could use some more clothes and shoes for the children as well as an additional car seat. The shoe sizes for the children are 7-8 for the boy and size 8 for the girl. Any help with clothes, shoes and/or car seat for this family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

High Urgency Request
Half of this repair has been taken care of already. Unfortunately this father is not able to pick up his car without the other half of the payment and he is having a difficult time coming up with the rest. This father uses this car to pick up his daughter from school for visits, since the car has been in the shop for weeks he has missed out on precious time with his daughter which slows the process of reunification. With this weight lifted this father will be able to focus on his daughter and then bring her back home sooner.

High Urgency Request
Placement (aunt) took in her nieces this last week and are converting their office into the girls bedroom. Currently all bio-kids are sleeping in the parents room so that the girls can sleep in a bed. DCF requires the girls to have their own beds by a certain amount of time so that placement can keep the girls. This would be a huge help as the girls did not come with any of their own bedding or clothes so aunt is buying them all new things and "foster" proofing their house to meet regulation requirements.
