Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
A family is needing help securing a door on the side of their house. The door is meant to have a barricade, however, one of the brackets for the barricade has broken off, and therefore, the door cannot properly lock. The objects stored in that room are at risk and the rest of the home is less secure. The family is hoping for a new lock or barricade bracket to secure the door. The family and I greatly appreciate those considering to help out. Thank you.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
While being the full-time caregiver for their four young grandchildren and now cognitively impaired adult child was done out of commitment and love, but because of ongoing medical appointments and barriers with transportation it has caused limitation in these grandparents' ability to also provide enriching summer activities for their grandchildren. The hope is that we will be able to collect various outdoor actives from chalk, sprinklers, bikes, and toddler outdoors equipment so the kids can continue to experience a full summer. The age of the children range from 0 to 11 years old and would love to have activities to do together and utilize their new large backyard to do so.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out
This youth has been working diligently to prepare for aging out of care. Throughout this process, he has faced numerous challenges and setbacks, yet he continues to persevere as he takes meaningful steps toward independence. Despite his best efforts, unforeseen circumstances have caused delays in his transition, including pushing back his planned age-out date. He has been actively searching for housing, securing an apartment, and covering the associated fees on his own.
At this time, he is in need of a grocery gift card to help cover food expenses for his first month on his own. Providing this support would relieve a significant financial burden and allow him to focus on building a stable foundation. By easing the immediate stress of affording food, we can help ensure a more successful and confident start to this important new chapter in his life.

Help Reunify a Bio Family
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.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out
A young person is in urgent need of a $200 Uber gift card to get to and from work, which is 20 minutes away. Right now, their entire paycheck is going toward paying for Ubers, leaving nothing left to save for a car. They're working hard, trying to stay consistent and build a better future, but the cost of transportation is making it incredibly difficult. This support would help lighten the load and give them a real chance to gain stability and keep moving forward.

Help Reunify a Bio Family
Four children have reintegrated back home with their mother and father. Due to family having bug issues they had to get rid of their previous two twin mattresses. The beds would be for the twin 9 year old girls.
The family is from another country, and the mother and father speak two different dialects of language, so drop off of the beds would need to be coordinated through an interpreter or through me, I would be happy to help, since it is more complicated than normal.
