Hillcrest Covenant Church

This family needs help paying their $5000 rent bill. They will be evicted on July 10th if they do not contribute to the total. The mother I have been working with is just returning to her job after maternity leave. There are 4 kiddos who live in this apartment who would not have somewhere to live if they are evicted. Mother and her boyfriend are now working and will be able to handle the monthly rent once it is down to a manageable amount. Mother has reached out to other community organizations who do not have funding to help her family at this time. Thank you so much for considering this families needs.

I am reaching out on behalf of parents of an 8-year-old boy with significant medical complexity that passed away last month in the hospital. It was a long journey with a prolonged hospital stay prior to his passing causing financial strain. Tragically, this is their second child to die at a young age due to the same genetic condition. While in their time of grief, the family is having difficulty paying the remaining expenses due to the funeral home. The family has a remaining balance of around $2,400 but any amount of support would mean so much to this family.

This family is in need of help with their water bill. They received a disconnect notice if they are not able to pay by July 10th. Mom is attempting to get on a payment plan and needs half of the bill to be able to do so. Mom has 100 of that now but needs help with the other $209 to be able to get on the payment plan.

This young person visits her siblings very frequently, but they don’t have a table or chairs to eat. She would be extremely grateful if they could assist her with a small table, even if it’s used, as they are currently eating on the floor. This is the only thing they’re missing in order to have everything in order.

Jackson County Children's Division is seeking help in supplying a relative placement provider a gift card to either Target, Wal-Mart, or anywhere else that might allow her to purchase the child summer clothing. The child is currently in need of more leggings, athletic shorts, baggy t-shirts, and undergarments. The child has a lot of winter clothing, but not a lot of summer clothing to accommodate the KCMO heat. We as an agency would be more than grateful for any help that is offered by anyone, as any little bit can make a large difference! I am certain the placement provider will also be extremely appreciative of whatever help anyone can offer. Thank you for your consideration from Jackson County Children's Division!

Single mother and her three children need assistance paying off old bills so they can move into permanent housing. Mother is currently staying at a long-term stay hotel where she has been harrassed and attacked at by other guests. She has been staying there after being kicked out of a shelter that was supposed to help her until she found more permanent housing and was allegedly robbed and manipulated by a service provider who took her money (which following a significant period of time was returned) and many of her items (which still have not been returned). However, Mother's section 8 voucher has been granted and she will be able to move into an apartment by the end of the month, but she needs to pay off her past due bills. This request is for assistance with her Evergy Bill. Helping her with these bills will finally let the family have a safe home.

Reason for urgency: Remaining balance (amount requested) needs to be paid off by July 2nd so mother can move into her new home.

am reaching out with a heartfelt request on behalf of a mother and her young child who are in urgent need of support. We are seeking up to $2,000 to help secure a safe and stable home — a critical step toward the family’s reunification.

This mother has been working hard to meet every requirement set before her, demonstrating unwavering dedication to being reunited with her child. Housing remains one of the final barriers. With your support, we can help provide the security and stability that every family deserves.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings this family closer to healing, stability, and a hopeful future together.

Thank you for your time, compassion, and consideration. If you would like to know more or wish to help directly, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Blessings to you Jennifer Woods- Case Manager

👟🌞 Helping a Supermom of 7! Summer Support Needed

We’re hoping to rally some support around an incredible single foster mom who is currently caring for seven amazing kids—yes, seven! She’s doing an incredible job juggling everything on her own, but could really use a little extra help this summer.

Right now, she’s in need of:

🍼 A stroller that can hold a car seat—something that makes outings a little easier and more manageable with the littlest ones in tow. 👗 Summer clothes for her 16-year-old daughter, who wears a junior size 2-3 pants and size medium shirts. Light, breathable clothing for the season would be a huge blessing!

This mama is showing up with so much love and dedication every single day, and meeting these practical needs would go a long way in lightening her load and reminding her she’s not alone.

💛 Thank you for considering how you might help support this family—it’s the little things that make a big difference.

The stroller need may be being met.

Clothing sizes are for 16 year old girl, pants/jeans size 2 or 3 and size medium shirts are still a need.

We are requesting a motel night for 2 more nights. The mother and small child are waiting on an opening at a shelter or for the alleged perp to be moved from the shared residence. We thought this would happen today, but it is not going to move as fast as we wanted. Shelters have been contacted and waiting on an opening or approval. The mother and child could use a gas card and some food either taken to them or by way of gift card to price chopper or hyvee.

There is a family that is needing 2 high back booster seats in order to safely transport the children. Thank you!

During the home walkthrough, it became evident that this family, with four wonderful children sharing a bunk bed, would benefit immensely from having individual beds for each child. We strongly advocate for providing a bunk bed with mattresses for this family, ensuring that every child has their own space to rest and dream. Thank you for your support for this family.
