Nine-year-old male child is placed outside of the home of his grandmother/custodian through a Parental Child Safety Placement Agreement (PCSPA). The placement is his aunt, who has 2 biological children (including 1 son) who has been displaced from his bedroom, to provide a space for the nine-year-old to sleep. The Department was able to secure funding and provide a bunk bed for the placement. The family is now in need of 2 twin mattresses, so both boys have a place to sleep while the child is placed with them. The placement's funding has yet to process through at this time, and without a place for all 3 children to sleep, this placement for the nine-year-old could be put in jeopardy. Please consider blessing this family.

A family of six with four children and two parents in need of grocery assistance. The father was getting regular overtime however that has stopped and now there is financial strain. The parents have expressed difficulty in affording their bills and groceries. Requesting $200 of grocery assistance in the form of a gift card however any amount of support will help.

A loving family placement is caring for two young children — one with autism and one without. The children are safe, supported, and deeply loved, but they are missing out on one important thing: a place to play.

Due to sensory sensitivities, the child with autism cannot tolerate loud noises or crowded spaces, which makes visits to public parks overwhelming and distressing. As a result, both children miss out on vital playtime, movement, and the simple joy of being kids outdoors.

This family is in need of a swing set or backyard playset to create a safe, quiet space where both children can play, stay active, and just be kids. It can be used or brand new.

Two young children — one with autism and one without — are currently being raised in a loving placement with family members. This family has stepped up selflessly to keep these siblings together and safe, providing stability, care, and unconditional love during a challenging time.

A grocery store gift card — in any amount — would go a long way toward lifting some of the financial stress this family is facing.

This family of 6 is requesting assistance in purchasing items for two of their children. The family is a single income household, due to the mother needing to stay home to care for their infant child who has medical and developmental needs. The infant is starting to develop well and has grown out of her diapers. The family is requesting diapers(Pamper's Swaddlers size 3) and wipes(Parent's Choice, any fragrance) for the infant. The family's oldest child is in need of white T-shirts(size adult small, NOT dry fit). The family is working on applying for benefits to hopefully help them further with financial costs for their children, but those benefits have not yet been granted.

Family consists of a mother and her 3 sons, ages 12, 10, and 6. Mother recently became homeless at the end of May. She sent her children to stay with relatives for the summer while she searched for housing. The Department was able to help secure housing for her with a move-in date of July 16. The children will return to the mother at the end of July. The mother is requesting assistance in purchasing 2 twin mattresses for her two youngest sons' bunk beds and a full mattress for her oldest son. Mother is not financially capable of purchasing these items, as she receives little support from the children's fathers. The Department has committed to buying the full mattress, so the 2 twin mattresses are what we need. Please consider blessing this family to help promote the children's safety and well-being.

This family is requesting assistance in purchasing 3-4 cans of formula(Enfamil NeuroPro Enfacare-blue can) for their infant daughter. She was born premature and has recently started eating more formula. The family is a one income home, due to mom having to stay at home to care for the baby, who has medical needs. The family also consists of 3 other children the parents provide for financially. Formula for their infant would help to ensure her growth and wellbeing.

Single mother of 8 is currently needing help with underwear and socks for her children. Mother recently had a baby that has some medical issues and she is not working at the moment. Sizes are 16, 8 and 5 for the boys and girls size 6. She has minimal support system and could benefit from someone reaching out to her as well. She has also noticed a couple of roaches recently in her home and would like to get roach traps or spray.

Mother and father of 3 of their own children have taken in 4 additional children to avoid them coming into foster care due to substance use by the biological mother. The youngest child is on formula and this is a large expense. Trying to aid the sudden financial strain the family has now caring for 4 additional children. The biological mother could also benefit from a support system as well. Baby is currently on Enfamil in the purple can.

This family is cared for by a single mother with two small children in the home that have developmental issues. Due to the mother's inability to work, there are some things that the family are in need of. The children are in need of two toddler beds, clothing, and possibly some toys. By fulfilling this request, the children will have a safer place to sleep, more enrichment, and the ability to be well-dressed.

Please consider this family. Children are currently placed with grandmother while mom completes her parenting classes and other services. Grandmother would love for her and the children to ride the bicycle in the afternoons. Children are in need of some bicycles. Both children are boys, and the sizes would be 24" and 18". Thank you so much for considering this family, they will greatly appreciate it.

The family consists of mom and her three children. She works hard to care for them. She has requested assistance with new beds for the two oldest children (twin bed frame + mattress) as well as diapers for the youngest child. The family currently has bunk beds but the mattresses have worn out and the mother has requested two separate beds for the children, rather than bunk beds. DSS is also assisting with putting in referrals for services for the family. Please consider helping this family!
