We have a young man that has been through a lot in the past two years he has been in care. He has made some poor choices and he's made some wonderful choices along the way. Right now he has decided that once he ages out, he would like to join the military and he feels that the best path for him from here to there is to attend Thunderbird Academy. He impressed everyone at his interview and has been accepted for admission and he will begin attending on July 20. Thunderbird has provided us with an extensive and extremely specific list of clothing items and supplies that he will need to bring with him. Any help that can be provided in obtaining these items for him would be incredibly appreciated. I can provide details to anyone interested. Thank you so much!

The sweetest, happiest two year old in the world is being raised by her grandmother that absolutely adores her. Grandma has changed her whole life around to be able to devote 100% of her time and attention to her granddaughter and it shows in the way this little girl absolutely shines. This little family makes due with what they have as much as possible but sometimes, money falls just a bit short. Grandma could really use some help with diapers this month. Huggies little movers size 6 seem to be the ones that work the best for her and don't irritate her skin. If anyone can help with this need, it would be a huge blessing. Thank you!

The happiest 8th month old you've ever seen is flourishing in his foster placement while mom works hard to get everything in order so that he can return home to her. These amazing foster parents have welcomed mom into their family and do all of their own visits together. Baby boy has had some health issues stemming from birth and he is on a specialized formula that is prohibitively costly. Foster mom has availed herself of every resource imaginable and does utilize WIC but she is still about three cans short for the month. The formula is Neocate Infant Formula and it is about $46 per can at Walmart. If anyone could help with this need to get through the month it would be an enormous blessing!

Kinship foster parents is taking two children. They have already had to redo a room and purchase beds and beddings. They now need carseats for the children and are strapped . It will be a little while before they will receive any financial assistance and will need the carseats before the children are placed in 6 days.

A single mother of three who also has three foster children in her care needs a new twin mattress for one of her foster children. The current mattress is no longer useable as the child has had regression in bed-wetting. This foster mother has spent time cleaning the bedding, the mattress, and all the areas of the bedroom to keep the room clean and fresh-smelling. Please help this mother by giving the home a new mattress for their little guy. It would also be helpful if the mattress came with a good mattress cover to secure its usability for years to come.

Hello, please help a mother with transportation. This mother is struggling to pay for bus fares due to her current lack of employment. She does her best to make it to every visit and appointment no matter what time, or how difficult it is for her to make it. This bus pass would help make sure she can make it to visitation, parenting classes, therapy sessions, drug tests, and doctors' appointments. Thank you so much for your generosity and help in bringing this parent closer to reunification.

Child is 10 months and has started walking. Foster mother is requesting assistance with obtaining baby gates to maintain safety.

Natural mother preparing to reunify with her child is in need of a car seat for a 2 year old. Right now she is sharing with natural father and foster parents, but will soon need to have a full time seat available to her. Thank you for any assistance in this matter.

Biological mom and dad's car has broke down and has halted their transportation. Parents are having to walk back and forth through the elements along with carrying groceries the whole way. The parents will benefit from bus passes to help them until the car can get repaired.

Biological mom and dad are in need of help with getting their car towed out of an apartment complex and to a mechanic shop for repairs. Without having a car the parent shave had hard time getting to and from work. Helping them get the car to a shop will be one less thing on their plate. If you are able to do so this is an urgent need before the vehicle gets impounded.

We are seeking rent assistance for a foster grandmother who has taken in her granddaughter and may soon include her grandson. Due to increased expenses and limited income from Social Security, she has fallen behind on rent and is facing eviction next week. Any support to help her maintain stable housing for the children would be greatly appreciated.
