Family is in need of one full mattress and one twin mattress. This family has now taken 5 children into their home as a kinship foster placement in the past ten months to avoid those children from being placed in traditional foster care, which brings the total amount of children they are financially providing 100% for to 6. They have been able to secure most items for the children including bed frames, but they are not able to afford new mattresses for the two children who were placed in their home two weeks ago.

I am working with a dedicated young father who is working hard to reunite with his two sons. He recently began a new job and is taking positive steps forward, but he's facing challenges covering the cost of fuel for the 6-hour round trip drive to visit them during Family Time. Despite the distance and financial strain, he remains committed to rebuilding his relationship with his children by making the drive each week. Providing any assistance with his travel expenses will help preserve his relationship with his children and significantly enhance his chances for a timely and successful child reunification

Foster home is looking for outdoor activities for the children. The kids have picked out a riding toy called movimiento zigzag wiggle ride on car. They are also looking for a volleyball net or any other ideas for children ages 3-10 to help exert energy and stimulate the sensory play.

Foster home needs a stroller after taking on an additional newborn. Foster mom has been looking for the stroller at garage sales but has not been able to find a used one like she is wanting that will grow with the baby and be adjustable for multiple ages of children.

The family is needing help with cleaning up their home. They have had multiple animals in the home resulting in roaches entering the home. They need their home sprayed for bugs so it does not turn into a health issue for the two children in the home. The family breeds and sales dogs and needs a outside kennel to get the dogs outside the home to keep them from using the bathroom on the floor.

I have a single mother of four children whose van is currently not drivable due to two bad tires! She has had the tires patched and aired up several times, but she now has one tire that has gone completely flat and one that the spare tire is being used on! Receiving help with getting new tires would help her out tremendously to be able to transport her four children to and from appointments and activities!

Good day! This request is for a long time and cherished foster family. Family recently took in new placements who were new removals and are battling lice. Family requests specific lice medication "Lice MD" and "Fairy Tales Rosemary Repel shampoo and conditioner and leave in spray on conditioner". Thank you so much for your time and consideration to this request!!
