GO Project Team 3 - Russell

We have a mom of 3 in our program who was admitted to the hospital and is worried about providing her kids with school supplies for the year. They need thins like school pants, backpacks, folders, notebooks, etc. We are requesting a gift card to walmart to help this family get what they need. The kids go to Kauffman and are in grades from 7th-11th. If this request is met it will go towards helping this mom provide new school clothes and gear/supplies for her kids as they enter this next year of high school, which should otherwise be an exciting time for them. Thank you.

Grandmother with guardianship of her granddaughter has recently become homeless and is in desperate need of a storage shed to store their belongings. The two have a safe place to stay at this time but are in fear of losing the only personal belongings and furniture they have as they cannot take all of it with them. Getting a storage shed would greatly help this family and prevent them from having even more hardship to overcome when they establish their own housing.

Hello there, I'm reaching out on behalf of our client and their family who is in dire need of financial assistance to address the electrical issues they are currently experiencing. The client's family of 5 is currently struggling with what appears to be the functionality of their electrical breaker. They are only able to use a little bit of power at a time, which has led to the family being unable to cool their home adequately. Client's mother has contacted Evergy to assess the issue, and Evergy was only able to confirm that the issue was not on their end. Client's mother has contacted Lynn Electric in hopes to diagnose the problem, but they are requiring a payment estimate of $300 to even come out to assess what's wrong with their power. They are currently doing their best to come up with the money by donating plasma and cutting costs when possible but are currently surviving solely on client's stepdad's income and already struggling to make ends meet. We are reaching out to request financial assistance to pay for Lynn Electric to diagnose the problem in hopes that they can have functional power as soon as possible.

Thank you!

A parent is seeking two removable wheelchair ramps for their rental home to support their child’s mobility and safety. The child experiences physical challenges that make it difficult to navigate two specific transitions within the home. Although the child primarily uses a wheelchair, she is also learning to walk with a walker. However, she is unable to lift the walker or raise her leg to step over standard thresholds. A suitable removable ramp that meets the needs of both locations has been identified on Amazon. Go To Link

I am a social worker working a family that is at risk of having their electricity turned off. Mom and Dad have three children and both work and have been able to afford their monthly bills previously, however, one of their children was recently admitted to CMH due to a traumatic brain injury. Due to this injury, Mom has had to stop working as pt now requires assistance with all daily living activities and requires 24/7 supervision for his safety and safety of others. As family has lost that income, they are now behind on their electric bill and at risk of having it turned off. The minimum payment to keep service on is $155.00. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated by family. Thank you for your consideration.

We have a 3 year old boy placed with a relative and is in need of a twin bed, mattress, sheets and comforter.

I have a single mother that has three children at home and two children in care. She reached out and said that her radiator hose exploded on her car and she is unable to pay for the replacement hose and the labor that comes to putting a new one in her car. If she can’t get this fixed, she is in jeopardy of losing her job, thus losing her home and her other children possibly coming into care. She isn’t sure on the price but by googling it ranges from $350 upwards of $1200. Anything is helpful at this point. Thank you!!

The mother reports she has a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country.

The family is working through reintegration of 4 children. The two oldest girls who are 9 and 11 report that in the past they have had weighted blankets and it helps them with their behaviors but in this placement they don't have access to weighted blankets. This request would be for two weighted blankets for two girls ages 9 and 11.

A 17 year old girl is reunifying with her dad in his home. She is 7-8 months pregnant and will be having her baby soon. The family would like to request a beside-the-bed bassinet for the baby to help the reintegration and post pregnancy go more smoothly. The family is currently working on completing reintegration with 9 kids total so this bed will help them out greatly.

The item being requested is a beside-the-bed bassinet.

Two young boys were removed from there mom because of an unsafe situation. They have reintegrated back home with their dad who was not in the home with them originally. The family is fully reintegrated but there are court fees that the dad cannot fully cover and the family will not be finished with court until the fees are covered. The fees are supposed to be shared with the kids mom but she will most likely not be helping so the family is asking for help to cover her portion of the court fees.

The boys are doing well with their dad and the dad would like to be finished with the court system and have the boys full time with him.

The youth is currently in need of a Twin box spring to help create a more comfortable and supportive sleeping arrangement in her new placement. At this time, she is unable to get proper rest due to the lack of this essential item, which is impacting her overall comfort and ability to fully settle into her environment.
