Parent has not been able to bring child to school due to the starter being out in her car. Mom was driving her car up until about a week ago and got stranded several times, since then she decided to keep child at home. Mom also does door dash as a second job and has not been able to do that and has been working limited hours at her main job due to her car. Our center is closing on May 23rd and it would really be helpful to have the child at school as much as possible until then. Getting this bill taken care of would allow mom to pay for other things and to earn more income.

We have several families that are behind with their tuition fees for our full time parent pay program. Our center is closing on May 23rd and parents are already struggling to find childcare options so I want to make sure kids can be here as much as possible before we close. We have had several of the families experience job loss, loss of housing/had to move, and just overall increase in expenses. Families are also preparing for an increase with childcare costs after we close or the possibility of not being able to work without having affordable childcare. Any amount would be helpful to families and whatever the total is, we can divide it between the families that are struggling to pay and/or behind in their payments.

I am working with a family who has experienced a series of tragic events in a mere couple of weeks. These include the death of a parent, grandparent being hospitalized, and the loss of employment in a very short time. They were on a payment arrangement with Evergy, but missed their monthly installment, which resulted in voiding their arrangement and being disconnected. They have been disconnected for 2 weeks and have struggled to get the kids to school due to having to sleep elsewhere due to no power (staying with relatives, friends, etc.). Due to voiding the payment arrangement, the entire balance of $1,662.66 is required to restore service. I have worked with the parent to secure $662.66 through 2 local agencies, but have exhausted resources for the remaining $1,000. Payment can be made directly to Evergy over the phone. Thank you for your consideration in helping this family get back on track!

We have recently placed a toddler and infant in the home with their mother. The family does not have a washing machine. The washing machine would help the family as small children can create a lot of laundry. The family resides in an upper apartment and it is difficult to bring all the laundry to a laundry mat while having two young children to care for.

This family is in need of mattress for their children's bunk beds. Mom is the only parent in the household working at this time. Dad struggles with health issues. The family needs one full mattress and one twin mattress. They already have the bunk bed frames.

A single mother of two provides for her children and her own mother. There is a language barrier that has made it difficult for the mother to keep a steady job though she is always looking. She has had issues paying her electricity bill and it has now gotten high with a disconnect notice. She has tried a couple other places for support but has not been able to get help with it. She believes if she is able to get her bill under control, she will be able to manage it moving forward.

Family is having some financial struggles due to grandmother being sick. They had their phones shut off due to not being able to pay the bill. They need their phones to stay in contact with each other throughout the day.

This family is currently in a Temporary Alternative Placement Agreement with Children's Division. The great grandmother of the child has taken full caretaking responsibility while the father works on substance abuse treatment. The new addition to the great grandmothers responsibilities has taxed her ability to financially make ends meet. The child needs to attend daycare so the great grandmother can work during the day and recently she paid for the childs daycare from her funds saved for rent.

By helping make up the funds she needed to take from her rent and paying for the remaining balance of the daycare this family will continue to care for the 3 year old child with autism while the father receives the substance abuse treatment he desperately needs.

Patient is a 4-year-old male at Children's Mercy Hospital. This patient had a traumatic birth when he was first born and since then has received multiple challenging medical diagnoses. These diagnoses include neurofibromatosis (tumors in the nervous system), 22Q deletion syndrome (a genetic syndrome that causes cleft palate, immune system disorders, kidney problems, and feeding difficulties), and diagnosed global developmental delay. These diagnoses have made it incredibly difficult for patient's father to keep a job, as he frequently must stay home to take care of his child. Of note, he is a single parent after his partner left him with the baby when she became too overwhelmed to take care of him. Without a job or a second income, dad informed us that he is in danger of his electricity being shut off due to not getting this bill paid, he currently owes $997 to Evergy. He has talked with Evergy and they are willing to put him on a 3 month payment plan if he pays a deposit of $339. He has been applying for part-time jobs but has not had great luck. He is currently in the process of applying for Social Security for his child’s disability but still is unsure how much he will begin receiving. Please help with this patient so his electricity does not get shut off and even more of his medical diagnoses worsen.

This family just moved from Oklahoma to Kc area just within the last few months getting away from toxic relationship. This little family of 4 plus one on the way currently is looking to go from living in there car currently to finding a permanent space for them to live. Mom is currently about 6 months pregnant and looking to get some stability before the baby comes! She is working so hard at her current job to get them into a apartment but could use some help from her community to get her on her feet again! She is looking for some help with the a deposit for a apartment. Thank you for all your help!

On March 28th, this family had a police high speed chase on their street, and as a result one of the cars involved in the chase totaled both of their vehicles and went through the front of their house. This family has been financially devastated by the unexpected expenses while waiting for insurance reimbursements to come through. They are currently living in a hotel until the house is repaired and utilizing has many community resources as possible, such as food pantries but do not qualify for many resources due to not typically being a low income family. As of today, the family only has a couple of hundred dollars left to last them through the beginning of next month.

Currently, the family has $719 in miscellaneous bills such as gas, insurance premiums, hospital payment plans, and others. Additionally, they are having to pay out of pocket for hotel costs until reimbursements can come through. The family is so grateful for any assistance. We are asking for $1,500 to cover the miscellaneous bills and the remainder to go towards the hotel costs until their house is able to be repaired. Thank you for your consideration.

Family is in need of some support at their home address. The family also needs a big trash bin to remove some clutter inside the home. The carpet is in the process of being removed due to the previous owner's pet stains. The family is also in need of a fridge and would benefit from extra support with food. Edit to add: home repairs are for flooring and an estimate from NFM, CG
