Working with a father whose children are in care, this father's traction and progress toward reunification has been rough due to many barriers. I Would like to support this dad and do what we can to help maintain that child/parent bond. Father has been unable to attend visits and engage in services due to barrier with communication. Father does not have a working phone nor means to purchase a phone/minutes. My goal is to find a donor for a straight talk phone and minutes which would allow me to make consistent contact with the father and to establish visits. your support would be GREATLY appreciated. Sometimes all we can do is try to remove barriers and then support and cheerlead a parent as they navigate this difficult situation. It is int he child's best interest to connect with and maintain a relationship with their parent, a phone would help do that!

I have a family that is currently on a trial home visit. They have minimal funds to help with the children's extracurriculars. I am wondering if anyone could help support with purchasing a season pass at the public pool for the family. The family rate (for a family of 4) is $75. This family would need to purchase for an additional member for $5. The children have been talking about going to the public pool for months and is something they are excited about for the summer. Any help would be amazing.

I have a young man on my caseload who will be 11 years old next week. We are supporting him spending his birthday with his mom, stepdad, stepbrother and two sisters. This young boy did not spend his birthday with his family last year and we want to do something special for him. Mom has done a lot of work to complete the tasks that were required of her. She is employed and has been working hard to save money to move into a home that will support her son reunifying with her. I am requesting financial assistance for this young boy's birthday. He wants to spend his birthday at McDonalds with his family and we were hoping to cover the cost of the meals of his family, so that it would not put additional financial stress on Mom. Mom is going to make him a homemade cake and is very happy to keep that tradition for him. I am requesting we make this young boy's birthday special and as stress free for the family. Thank you in advance.
