Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

This request is to help a family in need with a Temporary Alternative Placement Agreement. The parents are working on various items to improve themselves and to make themselves and their home a safe place for the child to return home to. The extended family that is placement for the child currently are sturggling financially to make ends meet. Currently they are in need of gas cards to help keep gas in the car to get the child to daycare. Without this aid they will have to miss more shifts at work and without work they will not be able to keep the child with them.

By helping with this request you are directly helping keep a child out of court custody and out of the foster system.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The company that mom works for has moved to St. Louis causing her to lose her job of 23 years. She is currently cleaning office buildings to get by, but she is not making enough to cover all of her bills. She needs help with rent. They have rented the same house for 12 years, so luckily her rent is relatively low. She has applied for LIHEAP and has reached out to other community partners but none have the funding to help. She is working with the Jackson County Prevention Team to ensure success moving forward. Mom and kids escaped a relationship of domestic violence; mom is doing everything she can to provide for and keep her two children safe. Assistance in paying this rent would be life changing for this family.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The Jackson County Children's Division Prevention team has been working with an apartment complex on safety concerns around their facilities. We have had numerous talks with management and unfortunately the type of safety concerns were having are in the units only with children. The complex can only do so much and have agreed to work with us to help solve the concerns from both us and KCPD. The apt complex has had numerous police reports due to children being unmonitored at unsafe age. The children have been able to leave the apt building, via window, front door, or sliding glass doors. The locks that the apt complex have are old and the actual door to get into the building is self-open. We had event at the apartment complex where we were able to speak with close to 75 families about these safety concerns there having. Some of them the doors just do not lock, or they do not have the funds to get the proper child safety locks, some of them their children will leave while parents are sleeping and there's no lock on the door that is high enough away off the ground where a child cannot reach it. We are hoping for about 50 window locks, eSynic Durable 10 Pack Window Restrictors Locks Easy to Install Window Restrictor Child Safety Window Lock with Screws Keys Limiting Opened Distance is the name of them on amazon. It is about $35 for 10 window locks.

Sliding glass door locks anywhere from 10-20 of these would be beneficially.

These simple devices can make life saving differences in these families life's. Your contribution can lock in safety and peace of mind for these parents.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

The children cannot live in the home of their grandmother who can take them. They were in a single parent home and Mom died, they are staying with an 84-year-old great-grandmother in a very small home and need to get into grandmas. She needs a dumpster urgently so that she can clean out her 2-bedroom home to accommodate the kids. She has too many boxes, bins and clutter to have them live with her comfortably or safely and there are 3 kids, so it really needs to be able to have all the rooms used. PLEASE HELP!! Great Grandmother cannot keep them. Would be great if this dumpster could get delivered on MONDAY so that they can get the house cleaned out by Friday and the kids can get into the home. Great Grandmother is hanging on, but barely!! A dumpster that is going to be delivered is being arranged, we are desperate to keep the kids with their grandma they have had so much tragedy and loss.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

This request is for a 20-year-old who will age out of foster care in the next five months. He is enrolled in a diesel mechanic training program and is motivated to start his career. He has an hourly job, but can only work limited weekend hours now due to his vocational training, which is unpaid. He pays his own rent and car insurance, recently bought a car, does not receive food stamps, and saves money to pay for gas to visit his two younger siblings who are also in foster care. Up until this year, he has paid his rent in full, but he currently owes $800 in back rent and is struggling to afford groceries due to his unpaid vocational training. Meeting his needs will help him maintain independent living, avoid eviction, and cover groceries so that he can complete vocational training and have a successful career when he ages out of foster care.
