This request is for a 17yo student that resides with 3 other siblings and a single parent. I became aware of this student's need by a school counselor. I have connected with the family and have identified that this family is in need of and can benefit from financial assistance with an overdue utility bill from the summer. I am aware that this family has been struggling financially while the parent searched for employment. Parent stated that they are now employed and starts today. Parent stated that the financial assistance would be more so to catch up with their overdue balance of $500 for electricity from the summer. If not all can be covered, any funds toward their balance would greatly be appreciated. Thank you for your support and for your consideration in meeting this need.

An awesome single mother and her smart and beautiful 3 year old twin toddler daughters, whose smiles and contagious laughs would light up your life, are in desperate need of a few items to help with making their home function a little bit smoother. Now that both girls are attending Prek, the mother has been working hard to maintain structure and routine in her home. One need she has expressed is being able to have a dining table that she and her daughters can sit at together to have meals and complete homework and craft projects. The mother has also requested assistance with getting a washer and dryer. She is still working to potty train her daughters, which has been getting better but it been challenging for her to keep clean clothes and linen in her home. She doesn’t have a vehicle or live in an apartment that has a laundromat so it can be a bit challenging during the week with trying to do laundry and ensure the girls have clean uniforms daily. Due to many toilet training mishaps, the girls are in need of new mattresses and linen for their toddler beds. These precious girlies can also use toy boxes, toddler girl clothes, and night time pull-ups. This mother has many cognitive and mental health challenges, and she experienced various setbacks throughout her. She has overcome being neglected and abused during her childhood, and losing custody of her oldest children, whom she has been able to reconnect with, and she is now moving forward after being a victim of domestic violence. As this mother continues to work on obtaining financial stability, she and her daughters are in a much happier and healthier place and every day gets better. The mother is seeking assistance with creating a resume and with learning how to count money. This mother is willing to accept used items and this request is not for new items only. The primary caseworker is able to pick up and deliver items to the family, including appliance and furniture items. These request will assist this family with more greater days to come!!! Thank you so so much in advance for choosing to support this family!!

Looking for help for a fictive kin placement who is taking permanent custody of two children, but is needing help with daycare to maintain permanent care. Due to a freeze in state funding for daycare, the family cannot get help from the state to fund the daycare. The two young children are under 5 and are very happy and comfortable in the home. They are well taken care of and the caretaker can afford to meet their daily needs while working full time, but cannot afford to also pay for daycare. Without daycare they would not be able to work and afford to take care of the kids whom they love dearly and want to keep out of the foster care system. This family is hoping for help from the community to assist with daycare for at least the next six months until they can get further daycare. The cost of daycare is extremely high for all families in today's world and we are hopeful that those who are able will help contribute to meeting these children's needs. The daycare that they attend helps them with learning educationally and with social skills. The total cost of daycare without assistance for the two children is about $2,300 a month. For six months to be fully covered, they would need $13,800
