Hope Childrens Home has taken in 9 kids and needs help with meals. Go To Link

There is currently at student Jackson High School who is hoping to graduate this Friday. She has a lunch balance exceeding $600 and is planning on attending a university in the fall. The school is unable to send over transcripts to these colleges until the debt is paid off. This is a paycheck-to-paycheck family who worried that their daughter won't be able to attend school in the fall because of her lunch balance. Anything from anyone who is able to help would be greatly appreciated!

A mom of two is currently residing in a domestic violence shelter. Her two children (boy age 5, girl age 7) were removed from her before entering shelter. Since then, mom has completed inpatient treatment and remains actively engaged in outpatient. She is also active in counseling, treatment court, and works full-time. She has increased her visits to unsupervised overnights and was recently able to secure a rental unit. She is in need of the following: couch, side tables, tv stand, washer and dryer, dining room table and chairs.

I have a hard working single mother that has gained a home of her own and is working hard to furnish it. She has accomplished so much fairly quickly in our Family Centered Services case and maintains contact almost daily with her case worker. The mother has sought out other community resources before asking for help. The mother is slowly but surely furnishing her home and we are hoping to help her obtain a washer and dryer. If you are able to help in anyway with this request it is truly appreciated. The mother has also asked about a resource that provides dressers. The new home does not have much closet space for her and the children. CD will continue reaching out to resources and will update this request if one is found.

This family has two of their four children at home. The children have been in care for 15 months, and they have exhausted most of their savings from paying for rentals to visit their children in Rolla. The courts have ruled that the other two children, who have numerous medical appointments, require a reliable vehicle. On top of this, their apartment is being sold, and they are being forced to move, which is clearing out the rest of the money they have coming in. To have a reliable working vehicle, it would need a new windshield. The estimated cost to fix it is $295. Additionally, there are late fees and titling fees of $200, as well as property taxes of $91. Any help in getting this car fixed and made legal would be greatly appreciated, as it would help reunite this family. Any help would be greatly appreciated for this family that has just reunited.
