Please Help a bio family become reunited. A mother of 5 children is in trial reunification with her newborn baby. The mother has four other children in custody. The mother is on Social Security so she is not able to work full time. The mother will soon be moved to unsupervised visits. The children will need car seats due to when the children were taken the car seats were not returned to the mother. Also the mother is needed a gas card to provide transportation to and from visits for her children. The children are placed in two different foster homes. One is thirty minutes from the mothers home and the other is one and a half hours from the mothers home.

Two amazing pre teen girls are in the process of being adopted by their paternal aunt, the only thing standing in the way is that she needs to finalize her divorce before the adoption can go through. She has been making payments to start the process but she could use assistance in getting it paid off so that these girls can finally be adopted and know that they really have achieved permanency.

Please help strengthen this single mother of three. This single mother is soon to deliver a new baby in a week and is currently out of work. Please help us strengthen this single mom by paying her cell phone bill this month.

A mother of a newborn is needing help with consistent transportation that can help her get to her family time visits each week. An uber gift card would be ideal since the bus route would not be practical for her situation.

I have a 16 year old expecting a child in July. She is in need of clothing to accommodate her changing/growing body. She is usually a size small in shirts and medium 10/12 in pants. If you have any maternity clothing or able to provide a gift card for her to purchase some clothing, she would be greatly appreciative. I am putting the amount as $75, but she of course will be happy with any amount.

I have a dad who is working towards reunification with his daughter. He could use assistance with food to ensure he is able to feed his daughter during visits. Additionally, I would like to request a family membership to the zoo or the aquarium so that he can visit outside the home.

A family moved into their apartment in October and have not been able to afford a couch. They have been without one since they moved in.

This was a new relative kinship placement from last week. This foster parent took placement of their 14 mo granddaughter during an emergency situation. The family is needing a crib and a car seat for the 14 month old child in their home. Obtaining these items will also be helpful to the child's parents if they are able to reunify. Please let me know if this is something that can be met. Thank you!

Hi there! I have a non-paid kinship placement that is in need of some financial assistance. They have fallen behind on some bills and would greatly benefit from any help that you may be able to provide. Again, this is a non-paid kinship placement and they have been such a blessing to the girls placed in their care. Any help you may be able to provide would immensely appreciated. Thank you so much in advance for your time and consideration!

Please help us strengthen this single mother by assisting her with paying her court fines. This single mother has overcome her addiction to alcohol and is maintaining her sobriety by attending treatment. However, in the midst of her addiction she accrued several fines that resulted in her license being suspended. She is now having trouble getting to and from services as well as having trouble accomplishing daily parental duties as her driver's license has been suspended. Please help this mom cover her court fines so she can get her driver's license.

Mother of three has taken placement of four children who are related to her. These children were removed from their past placement and in need of immediate care. Maintaining this placement would keep the children near family and reduce the trauma of relocation. In order to effectively keep them in her care she is in need of transportation that would accommodate all seven children, two of which are still in car seats and one in need of a booster seat. She currently drives a car that seats five and is unable to coordinate transportation to and from school or even take everyone out for fast food. DHS is hoping to at least be able to assist foster mom with a significant down payment or tax and title for her to purchase a vehicle that would meet their needs. However ideas for assistance of any type would be welcome.

Seeking food assistance to preserve and strengthen a kinship family. This youth has been in custody for 7 years and DHS is now able to reunite him with his biological family. Youth is now placed with an aunt, uncle, and cousin, but they are not yet receiving foster care reimbursement and are struggling financially in this first month of placement. This assistance would help the youth and family focus on other needs while getting settled. Also, the youth has recently found out he loves to cook and is happy he is placed with family and able to help with meal preparations.

A kinship parent is approved DHS to be foster parent to three children (Twins 3 y/o and a 5 y/o) who does not have a place to go. She can take the sibling group, but does not have appropriate sleeping arrangements. The foster parent asked for help. She needs two toddler beds, and needs everything for it, and a twin sheet and comforter for the 5 y/o. Any help is greatly appreciated to keep this sibling group together and into placement as quickly as possible. This is a RUSH request. Need beds by tomorrow night 01/26/23. Thank you in advance for your help to keep these kids with family and in placement together. This is an adopted kinship home and the children would be adopted by family.

This is for a relative kinship home. The family has 2 boys, ages 1 and 2 and they are in need of both diapers and pull ups. The 2 year old is just now being introduced to pull ups and is not in them full time. They need pampers size 5 and 7 and Pull ups size 4/5 T. The Price estimate is based on Walmart prices for a an estimate of approximately $40 per package. The children have very sensitive skin so please get the Pampers brand as that is what is known to be safe for them. The price count is based on the cheapest per diaper for Walmart and if that is too much a smaller count size will be acceptable. While Diaper wipes were not requested and not included in the price, I am sure those would be greatly appreciated.

Mother and children are currently living with the children's aunt' however, have been approved to move into a bigger home before mom has a new baby. My client told me she has a past due water bill and the deposit to pay before the water can be turned on in her name. I would like to help alleviate this stressor so the family can move into their new home with more room for 4 kids and a newborn. She is a single mom as the kids father past away. Mom has been doing everything alone.

We have a family who is working a care plan, and needs a pack and play. Mom is doing exceptional, and her next step is to move, and she needs a pack and play to help make that happen.

This need is for a mother and child who have recently reunified. The mother frequently rides her bike or takes the bus. This one child bike trailer/stroller would allow her child to not have to walk so far to catch the bus and enable her to take the bike when necessary. The one that I found to be the best bargain is at Walmart and is the Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Child Bicycle Trailer & Stroller. It does not need to be this specific brand and can be donated one that is donated rather than purchased new.

two siblings who will be placed together are in need of some clothing, this will help to keep siblings in the same home. A six year old and a three year old are in need of some basic items, like socks, underwear, hairbrushes, items to keep hair pulled back like hair ties , headband, winder gloves and hats and a coat for the cold.

Children in need of bunk beds to secure a placement for siblings. siblings are currently placed in different homes four hours apart.
