Mother has recently lost her job with the closing of Logan's, and dad has just started working, but has not received his first check. Diapers are needed size 2T-3T.

There is a single mother in need of gas money to transport her child back and forth to school. The mother has recently started a new job and will be missing a regular paycheck. The child has been placed with her through a current CPS case and the mother does not live in the child's current school district. The child will miss school if the mother is not able to transport him back and forth.

A child has had to move with his mother through a CPS case. When he left his previous home, he was not allowed to bring his personal items including his clothing. The child currently only has a couple clothing items at his mother's home and is expected to stay there for the foreseeable future. His mother just changed jobs and does not have any extra funds to help with clothing. The family expressed that they would be grateful for donations or a gift card to the following clothing stores: Marshals, Old Navy, or Target. The child is a 14/16 in children's if it stretchy or a small in men's. He is a size 9 in shoes.

Single dad shares custody of his 6-month-old daughter. Dad works full time, 12 hour shifts, and has full custody of his 12-year-old son. Dad would like to get his daughter on his days off. His daughter is currently staying with her great grandfather and his wife. The baby has been sick with respiratory issues the last several weeks. Great grandfather is having to take off work to care for the baby. Great Grandfather states it would be a big help if the baby's father could help care for the child. Dad is trying to gather things so that his daughter can stay with him some, but he does not have a crib.

The Department is humbly seeking assistance in our extended community for donations to help ease the financial strain during this emotional time. An extended family, living in the same home, consists of a mother and her two children (17YOF and 12YOM) and the mothers brother, his wife, and his two children (1YOM and 4YOM) is presently struggling to obtain even the basic necessities to live; this includes clothing for the children. Even with the adults in the home working, their income mostly goes to rent to allow the family to remain in a safe spot. The family is able to sometimes have money left over for a few groceries but never had enough funds to get clothing for the children. The family is limited in English proficiency; which aides into the complications of seeking help from their fellow peers. The Department is asking for $100 per child to provide clothing for the children.

We are seeking a toddler bed and mattress to assist a local kinship family in transitioning their toddler out of a pack and play and into her own bed for the first time.

A single mom with three young children is currently in need of beds for her two toddlers. The whole family currently sleeps together in a queen-sized bed which is both a safety hazardous and a hinderance to their well-being as the mother is unable to sleep through the night. The family is requesting a twin-size bed/mattress for the 4-year-old and a toddler bed/mattress for the 2-year-old. Additionally, the family is in need of another dresser as the space they are staying in does not have closets causing storage to be limited. A gently used dresser would be accepted if donated.

TWIN MATTRESSES | Children ages 2 and 3 in the home. Parents have a bunk bed for the children and are in need of two twin mattresses for the bed.

Kinship placement as well as the Department have some concerns about child's behavior/activities in the home due to recent substance use and lying. Would like to put cameras in common areas of the home for safety purposes. We are thinking between 4-6 cameras would be appropriate.

The Department is humbly seeking assistance in our extended community for donations to help ease the financial strain during this emotional time. A single mother was unexpectedly laid off and it has left her family with significant financial challenges.

With the Department’s support, her child has now been enrolled in school to promote any normalcy during this hardship.

Hello! I am currently working with grandparents who are serving their granddaughter as her kinship foster parents. Their granddaughter, 3 years old, is the victim of shaken baby syndrome. This child was shaken to the extent where she is immobile and in a vegetative state. She is receiving excellent love, care, attention, and support from her family as well as all service providers. Unfortunately, the family does not have the means to transport the child without the use of a Medicaid transport van. We are requesting help from our community to supply this family with a handicap-accessible van that includes a wheelchair lift. Thank you for considering helping this family!
