Please help a single mother who is currently experiencing some financial hardships. She is requesting a baby jumper to assist with child's gross motor developmental skills. Client does not have extra financial means to purchase one on her own.

I have a foster student who is new to the district and the area. He is requesting a foldable scooter to help him get to school.

Please help a family in need of a stroller for their youngest child. Family is struggling financially as the father is unemployed. Family would accept even a used stroller in good condition. This would help them tremendously. Thank you in advance for your willingness to help.

Hello, we are asking for some assistance to help support a struggling family in need. A single father of a 10-year-old, 18-year-old, and an adult disabled child was recently admitted into the hospital and there are serious concerns he may not make it, and if he does he won't be home soon due to recovery time. The children’s grandfather has stepped in, taking the responsibility of caring for the children while their father is in the hospital, but they are emotionally and financially struggling due to their circumstances.

Grandfather will not get any assistance or funding for the children for over 45 days or more so we are asking for some help in providing immediate help via a grocery card to help with food and a gas card to help carry them through this emergency situation.

The family lives in a small trailer in an RV park and another concern is they’re at risk of being evicted if they do not repair the trailer door. We have estimated that the hired cost to repair will be between $700-900 of if if anyone has access to have someone replace an RV trailer door this would be such a blessing for them. This will allow the grandfather to retain the housing for him and the children. I have listed this Careportal request as a multi-request since there are a few needs to help this family during this difficult time. Thank you for reviewing this request.

A 15 year old male, that I am working with, has moved through numerous placements during the past year and a half (within the foster care system). Many of his personal items have been displaced along the way. It is apparent that not only has he lost many of his personal items, he has also begun to lose hope. He will not be reunifying with his parents, is separated from his siblings, and is currently in a group home placement. Though he has made a few bad choices along the way, he is a nice young man. He has a goal of being back with a foster family some day. During a recent team meeting, that was focused on this youth, it was disclosed that he loved to play the piano and that he had an "ear for it." He was self taught and prior to to the start of his numerous placement changes, he would invest a great deal of time playing. The group agreed that this might help him maintain his placement and focus his attention and energy on something positive. It would also be a physical item that he knew was his. When this was discussed with the youth, he lit up! Much of his day, outside of school, is spent sitting, not doing much. I am reaching out requesting a Keyboard for this youth and a pair of headphones to go with it. Hoping for something of decent quality. I will be ensuring that no matter where this youth is placed, that his keyboard will travel with him. Please see note for additional information.

We have an opportunity to bless a lovely lady with two small kids that has just completed her transition from homelessness to getting an apartment of her own. She’s worked really hard and would love some assistance getting some basic pieces of furniture secured. We have been able to provide a queen size bed and frame as well as two toddler beds with mattresses and bedding for everyone. We still need some assistance finding two small dressers for this family.
