I have a dad who is attempting to reunify with his three children. He currently owes $200 to PSO on the back electric so he has only been able to do Power Pay and get a couple days at a time. We are requesting that back pay be paid along with $100 extra to help him.

We are currently working with a mom of a 9 year old boy. She is doing great in engaging in services and is doing everything to reunite her family. Mom is currently struggling with the price of gas though. Her job has moved across town and it is a further commute. Additionally, her son is nearly 2 hours away. Worker is assisting in transporting mom to visit him, but she would like to be able to see him more. Phone calls are not enough. To top it off, her car is starting to have some issues starting. Mom is unsure of what the cause of the problem is. It would be greatly appreciated if she knew of a mechanic that would be willing to help her out and figure out what is wrong with her car. If not, the amount it would cost to visit a mechanic of her choosing. As I said, mom is doing everything in her power to reunite her family and trying to see him as much as she can. If you feel that you can assist in any way, I would be happy to connect you to the her. It would be greatly appreciated.

A biological mother needs help with utility bills. She has been working very hard toward reunification with her child. She has changed jobs to strengthen her sobriety, but is having trouble making ends meet as she is now left to take care of her rent and expenses alone. She currently has a couple overdue utility bills. We are asking for anyone who is willing to partner with her to help her with this expense. This will help her keep her utilities on to allow visitation with her child in her home and to allow her to keep her home as she works toward reunification. Thank you for the help you provide to our families in need.

There were two kids that were sent to Washington State to be placed in a relative foster home. They have been there since May and are doing really well. The natural father is now trying to get the funds together to relocate to Washington to be able to finish his final services and reunite his family. In preparing his truck to travel he had an issue with the truck's motor. He was able to get the money together to fix the motor and make the truck suitable for a long-distance jaunt but in doing so he depleted his savings for gas to get to where he was going. We are asking for assistance with a gas card to assist him in his relocation. He has completed all of the tasks he can do here in this state and now is ready to go and be near his children so he can finish his treatment plan and this family of 3 can be reunited.

Hello everyone, I have an adopted mother on my caseload in the final stages of adopting a sibling set. The children are ages 5, 9, and 10. They all have been in the home going on three years in October. The adoptive mom desperately needs her utility bill paid because of a surge in pricing. The adoptive mom has done a tremendous job caring for all three children and giving them the life and care they weren’t used to before coming into custody. When I visit the family, the siblings constantly tell me how they feel loved and safe with their new mother. As their worker, I can see the extraordinary change with the girls. They always appear to be at peace, happy, and thriving. The family would surely be grateful if anyone in the community could assist with half or all of the bill.
