The family of two, has a mother who uses her vehicle for work to make deliveries , and this is her only form of transportation . The vehicle due to lack of an oil change is dragging and the mother does not want to drive it further until she can afford an oil change but she needs the vehicle to make money to get the oil change. Asking donor to please assist with getting this vehicle an oil change so this mother can continue to support her daughter .If possible she does need to replace two tires in the front. The used tires estimate for two /150.00 the Oil change for Dodge Truck 100.00 if you know a better price that will be great, thank you.
The family of three, who are expecting second child are needing a dresser to store their clothing. Hoping to assist them with keeping the home in order , this dresser would really be useful, although needed the family can not afford to buy one, if you have one to donate or can buy one for this family it would be appreciated. Thank you.
UPDATE:( Family has received 2000.00 towards rent ) so awesome yes Lord. God is so good so good ' We serve a big God and this is a big request. So lets see what happens. Single mom undocumented dad has been charged with sex crimes against step daughter. Dad was the only income so the family has been relying on churches to pay bills for 8 months While the family's rent although through dads brother has remained unpaid. There was false promises made by KERA to help they never did. Also false promises by other agency's that have left mom kids and landlord uncle in a financial crisis. He told me last night mom is behind 14,000.00 in rent. So he is in a huge bind. So my hope is that several churches can come together to get some back rent paid. This is a sad situation where the system has failed this family. So...... big God big need very likely uncle will need to evict soon if no help is given Pray hard and lets trust God and see what he does. Blessings Chuck
Young mother of a newborn baby girl just moved into her own housing and is in need of help paying for the utility deposit of $210.00. I can provide the information to pay online if anyone is interested in helping out. She is also in need of diapers and wipes size 1.
Children's Division is currently working with a grandmother who is taking care of a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl while their mother is attempting to make some positive changes in her life. The grandmother has been successful in getting many of the needed supplies for the children, but she is having difficulty finding car seats for them. It would be an absolute blessing for them to be able to safely get to and from daycare.

A single mom of a kindergartener needs immediate housing due to a fire. Belongings are almost a total loss. Mom has not requested assistance prior to this experience, despite mom having a lot of unfortunate events occur that were beyond her control. A year and a half ago, both of mom's retinas detached causing vision impairment among other medical issues. Due to this, employment and thus income became limited. As a result mom does not have savings to use towards emergency housing needs. At the urging of this school social worker, mom found an affordable apartment with an immediate move in date. The leasing office and mom completed a budget and confirmed the targeted apartment is a good financially sustainable fit for the family. Additionally, if able to rent, the kindergartener would not have to change schools. Mom immediately needs $210 (deposit & application fee) to secure the apartment. Within 10 days of approval in order to move in, mom needs $500 towards deposit and $1055 which is one month's rent and utilities combined. Any help towards this will be greatly appreciated.

We would love to donate age-appropriate books and toys. We could also babysit the kindergartner during the move or other times that would be helpful (we have a kindergartner in the PH school).

2 boys, aged 10 and 14, were taken into protective custody Friday 01.27.2023. They have been placed with a family member. The 14 year old has a significant bed wetting problem and the family is needing a mattress protector, extra full size sheets, and/or mattress pads. Neither child has ever attended a school before and will be attending Plattsburg School District. The boys are in need of back packs, notebooks, pencils, pens, or other school items. The family has been connected to the food stamp program for help acquiring food for the children however, this will take about 1 week to have in place. They are in need of food items. The boys do not have basic cooking skills and the relative placement works full time. If possible, the food should be something they can make.
A relative placement is in need of a 5 pound fire extinguisher for licensure requirements to continue to keep the two children under two in their home. Assistance in payment or getting one for them would be appreciated! This is needed by Thursday February 2, 2023.

DCCCA is working with a mother and her three children who have recently lost their only mode of transportation. The mother is requesting a bicycle for her teenage son so he can run errands close to the home so she does not have to get her young children out in the cold and walk. The son is approximately 4.5 feet tall. If you have a bike you can donate or are able to donate the funds it would be a great blessing to this family!
DCCCA is working with a mother and her two children who have recently moved into a new home.

This child is an 8 year old boy who struggles with social skills. He is currently really struggling at school with his friends and classmates because he is having a hard time with social cues. His grandmother, teacher and therapist are worried for this child because he is very social and loves acceptance from peers and others, but he is struggling with showing appreciation for his peers and is only wanting appreciation himself. This has been going on for a few months and he is now occasionally getting asked to leave the classroom, sit in the principals office and or even leave school because he has been causing disruptions in class with his peers so much so that he gets so worked up and begins crying and cant be calmed down. His grandmother is requesting help paying for a social skills program for this child. It is $40 for each session. I know his grandmother would be very appreciative of any aide, he is a great kid, very caring, kind and funny, he is just struggling with some social skills at this time. Thank you.
Trying to place a child with a grandparent; however, there is limited space. So we are looking for a futon or a hideaway couch so the child would still have a bed to sleep on.
