Help make a kinship placement a smooth transition! A sweet newborn baby girl is needing a car seat, diapers (size newborn and 1), and wipes. Aunt is excited to take placement but struggling to gather all necessary items while traveling from one town to another to visit baby.

Parents of 7 children need our community’s assistance with beds, bedding and clothing storage/organization. They also need someone to haul the furniture to their home as they navigate life with a large family on a low income. Both parents work outside the home however are not able to make ends meet without assistance. The children are amazing individuals with personalities as big as the day is long. They have been taught manners and social graces and are a joy to work alongside as we reunite them with their parents. The children’s ages range from newborn to 11 years of age (Boys’ ages are 11, 9, 6 and newborn; Girls’ ages are 5, 2 and 1.) They currently are in need of a toddler bed for their 5 year old daughter and the parents need a queen size bed and bed frame. They have no bedding for the beds, so queen, twin and toddler bed size bedding such as sheets, blankets and pillows are also needed. Plain colors for the bedding would be best instead of themed items. The 3 boys each have twin sized beds (bunk beds and a twin bed). If someone is able to assist with moving the beds to their home that is also a great need to be filled. This need can be met partially but selecting one item below. Every little bit helps a lot!!! Filling this need will greatly reduce the stress and anxiety of both parents as they work together to finish their treatment plans in order to keep their family together in their home. The parents and child welfare greatly appreciate your help!!!

I have a wonderful family, consisting of a mother and 8 children in need of assistance with paying their rent. The family is in financial need of $1625.00 to pay past due balance of $800, their upcoming rent,$750.00 due on 06/01/23, and a $75.00 late fee that is applied after 06/05/2023. The family has a limited income and incurred extra expenses that has made them unable to pay their rent beginning of next month. Having this need met, gives the family the ability to maintain housing and gets them on track to be able to pay rent in the future.

I have 2 bio parents that do not have transportation at this time and they are in trial reunification with their children. They both are needing assistance with transportation to complete services and get to jobs. They both are in need of a 31 day bus pass to help assist with their transportation barrier. Meeting this need would help these parents to finish their treatment plan and complete their case successfully.

We have a kinship placement that is doing their best to make all appointments and family time for the children. Kinship is a single income household. I would like to gift the family with a gas card to help with making the counseling appointments and other necessary doctor appointments. This will relieve some stress of the kinship placement.

A single mom of 4 needs assistance with car seats and furniture. This mom recently moved to the area and has very little. Shortly after moving here her truck, which had what little they owned in it, was stolen. Mom has tried to keep a positive attitude and remain strong for her children during this tough time. This mom needs help replacing the items that were inside the truck. These items include 1 booster seat, 2 five-point harness car seats, and a bed for mom. This family could also use some living room furniture and a table to eat at. They're currently having all meals and family time on the floor. DHS has found replacements for the clothing that was lost but has not been able to attain these bigger items.

Please help a mom with young girls get to her appointments needed to create safety for her family so she can keep her children home with her, and prevent the need for them going to a foster home.
