We have a father that is in need of a gas card. The father works fulltime and after paying bills he normally does not have the funds to put gas in his car. The father has talked about getting a second job and the gas card will help out until he is able to bring in extra income.

Hello, I have a foster parent in need of a couple of items to help with a baby in her care. First, she is asking for a walker. The 7-month-old she is caring for has started crawling and pulling up on everything. She would like to have the security of knowing he is not able to get himself stuck behind, between, or under something while she is cooking, cleaning, doing other household chores, or caring for the 2 two-year-olds in her care as well. That leads to her second request, a pack-and-play. The two-year-olds managed to climb into it, proceeded to jump around and broke hers. If you have either of these items that your little one may have outgrown recently, she would be very happy to take them off your hands.

I have a mom with seven children that are in reunification. She has worked hard to get her children back in her home and care. She is asking for help with a couple of things. First, to pay her electric bill. She has been working but was a bit short this month. Her bill is $78.19 and isn't due until 5/20. She would be very appreciative for help with any amount. Second, her youngest child is outgrowing her infant carrier. She is looking for help getting a reversable (rear/forward facing) car seat. She is not looking for anything fancy, just something to keep her little one safe. If you are able to assist with either of these requests, she would be most grateful.

Hello! We are looking for a little help for a father that has successfully reunified with his children. This dad has really gone above and beyond to ensure his children were returned, and issues were corrected. There were some issues at reunification that actually resulted in the kids being returned about 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Dad needs a little help meeting the financial needs a little early. We are asking for a lawn mower any in working order will help! His yard is not large so a push mower is much appreciated. Shortly after the children were returned his clothes dryer bit the dust. We are asking for an electric clothes dryer in working condition if possible. Any help is appreciated!

We have a family in need of a computer monitor and printer. The family would like to become more proficient in using computers. They also believe by having a computer is will open doors to various career opportunities. The family is open to used equipment as well.

A young man on my caseload is in a robotics course at school. He is in to programming and coding. He currently does coding on his phone but the phone can no longer handle data. He asked for desktop computer or "tower" to use for coding/programming. He said that it did not have to be new or have special specifications. A desktop/tower would help him further his educational goals and perhaps launch a career in this field. He is an exceptional youth with good behavior and a positive attitude.

A single mother, who is trial reunification with her daughter, needs help paying her rent due to having to take time off to adjust with her daughter in her home. This money will be used to support the family and preserve the placement.

A mother and father of a 10-month-old girl need help with the expense of gas so they can get to and from work, visit their daughter, and attend classes and therapy appointments. A gas card would be tremendously helpful.

Please bless this single mom by covering her psychiatric bill. Mom has fled a domestic violence situation, and is doing well repairing her life. She is currently in treatment addressing her mental health, however, due to being an immigrant she does not qualify for health insurance. Please bless this mother by assisting with her psychiatric bill. God Bless!

Please help us reunify this bio family. This is a one income household due to mom having many health issues. Both parents are engaging in services, however, this requires that dad go into work 2 hours late. Please help this family by assisting with their water bill. Thank you in advance and God Bless!

I am working with a biological family of three. Dad has been unable to work for two weeks due to doctor restrictions of a much needed surgery he received. The family was able to stay afloat while Dad recovered because Mom is also employed, but Dad's time off is going to make the family late on rent. Rent is $750 a month and the family has $450 to put towards rent. The family is requesting rental assistance in the amount $300.

Invest in your hair. Its the crown you never take off. A vibrant fifteen year old girl is hoping to get her hair braided. Her foster mom has called around to find the best deal for the service and has a found someone who will do it for two hundred dollars. This amount also includes the hair needed. Unfortunately this amount is a little too much for the foster parents to afford at this time. By funding this service you are helping the foster parents provide for the teenager and also helping the young women have self confidence. Gaining more confidence will help this young women continue to take on the challenges she faces. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration, and your commitment to lifting up those in your community.
