Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
For as long as I have worked with this family, they have encountered financial hardship and have been having a really hard time getting back on their feet. It seems as though something else always comes up that poses them a new financial challenge. Oftentimes, the family's close bonds with their neighbors are able to provide a support network for them, but this year, after a very cold and persistent midwest winter, the family has been hit with a large electricity bill that they are having a hard time paying. Mom has tried to set up payments with the company but they have denied her request. Plainly, she does not have the resources available to her to pay this bill in full without serious financial consequences for her and her two children, who she works fiercely to support. I am hoping we can find help in paying off this bill for a family of three impacted by the chronic stress of trying to make ends meet as It is possible they could lose access to utilities. They are looking for a total of $544.16 to cover an Evergy bill.

Help Reunify a Bio Family
After years of separation caused by circumstances beyond their control, a 16-year-old in foster care is finally ready to reunite with their father and stepmother in Georgia. This isn’t just a visit—it’s a permanent, long-awaited move home. The bond between father and child has been carefully and lovingly rebuilt over time, and the family is overjoyed to welcome their teen into a stable, supportive home. Now, with the school year coming to a close, everything is in place—except the funds to get them there.
We’re asking for your help to cover the cost of a plane ticket and the extra baggage fees, and shipping fees needed to bring the teen's belongings—things that make a young person feel like they’re bringing their life with them, not starting from scratch. Help a child in foster care find their forever home, where love and safety wait with open arms. Your support could make that dream a reality. Every donation is a step closer to family, healing, and hope. We appreciate any support and funding that can be provided to help this child become part of their family again.

Help Reunify a Bio Family
A 16-year-old in foster care is preparing for a life-changing move to reunite with their father and stepmother—finally heading to their forever home. While this moment is full of hope, it also comes with anxiety. After experiencing a devastating loss in the past where all of their belongings were lost, the idea of putting their things on a plane feels deeply unsettling.
To help ease this worry, we’re hoping to provide luggage tracking tags (like AirTags or similar tracking devices) for their multiple bags. Being able to see where their belongings are would bring immense peace of mind during an already emotional and overwhelming transition. If you can contribute funds or send a tracker directly, you’ll be offering more than just technology—you’ll be offering comfort, security, and a small sense of control in a big, uncertain moment.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
Single mother with two children has fallen on hard times. She recently was hospitalized due to suffering multiple strokes and a heart attack. Mother than came home from the hospital, only to realize that her water heater had broken and her plumbing in the bathroom leaking. Mother is able to afford the cost of the $400 water heater but is unable to afford the $1200 that is needed to install the water heater. Mother does not have an estimate on how much the plumbing of the bathroom would cost at this time. The family does not have a working oven, so they are unable to even heat water on the stove for warm baths. They are currently bathing at the local community center or using their sink. To warm up food, the family is using a toaster oven.
Mother is unable to work at this time, as she is attempting to recover from her medical conditions. She does have some family support, but due to the costs of the repairs and appliances, they are unable to assist. Any assistance with the cost or labor for this family to have the basic necessities, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
We have a family that has fallen behind on their electric bill for the full amount of $1475.80. Our client's father is a single parent in the home with 3 children. He recently had car troubles to the point that he is unable to use his current vehicle. Being a single parent, he would spend many nights Door-dashing for supplemental income and he has been unable to do that. Currently, the kids must be picked up for school by their grandparents and client's dad must be picked up for his day job. The finances have been directed to immediate needs, and they have been unable to pay their electric bill. Any kind of financial assistance would be greatly appreciated to help this family get back on track. Thank you!

Help Support a Youth Aging Out
One of my young children from my case load, asked me for a vanity dresser and a sofa. She needs the vanity dresser for her room because she doesn't have one, and it would allow her to get ready and do her makeup. As for the sofa, she requested it because the ones in the living room are very worn out.
