Help Make a Kinship Placement
I have a 12yo child that was placed in a kinship placement. She is in need of school uniforms for a new school she was enrolled in. This will help her not be in dress code violation. She will also need a dresser to store her clothing. She does not have storage, and this will help with storage.

Help Make a Kinship Placement
We have a case that is ending but the family needs furniture for the child, dad, and the home. The family is needing beds and a living room set. Once the family receive the furniture the agency will be able to close their case. The agency wants to make sure the family has what it needs to prevent a new intake from happening. Any help give to help keep the placement would be greatly appreciated.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
Please help strengthen a biological family in need. This family has a single mother that is working hard and working two jobs to support her six children. She is recently separated from her partner and experiencing financial difficulties. Having to start from scratch in a new home has been a challenge. As one can imagine, a home with six children will need to be cleaned frequently and a fair amount of laundry will be produced.
This family is in need of five jugs of laundry detergent, three gallons of bleach, three containers of pine-sol floor cleaner, a vacuum cleaner, 3t-4t pull up diapers, and unscented wipes.
If this need is met, it will afford the family some financial relief in the short term. The mom recently began a new job and funds are limited now, but she is already looking for additional employment to better provide for her family in the future.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
This mother became involved with CPS because she was a victim of domestic violence. In that relationship she was financially manipulated by her abuser, and he was the primary provider for the family. Since the abuser has moved out of the home mom has received an eviction notice that will be filed on 4/15/2025. Mom has 2 children, a 9-year-old and 3-year-old. She receives disability for a seizure disorder, but that is not enough to support the family. I am seeking rental/financial assistance for mom to prevent homelessness for this family.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
This grandmother is currently going through the process to try and adopt her granddaughter. She has encountered some recent health concerns that have put her down and she is battling a rough situation with her landlord as they will not make any repairs on her roof despite leaks. This grandma has been trying to tell them the house needs a new roof, but they just go in and patch it but the leaks continue in the home and through their wiring in the bathroom which is a hazard. The grandma feels she is in a hard spot because the housing voucher has gone down and if she tells them they will make her move, but she couldn't afford to get a home in the area to keep the child in the same school. The grandmother also used to have a lawn service come mow her very small backyard, but due to recent health issues she has not been able to work much and couldn't afford to keep up the service. She would love assistance with getting a lawn mower to so she can mow her lawn. I would like to request assistance for this grandmother with roofing services and possible lawn services, if possible.
