Single mother and her three children need assistance paying rent on their new apartment so they can finally have longterm housing.

Mother is currently staying at a long-term stay hotel where she has been harrassed and attacked at by other guests. She has been staying there after being kicked out of a shelter that was supposed to help her until she found more permanent housing and was allegedly robbed and manipulated by a service provider who took her money (which following a significant period of time was returned) and many of her items (which still have not been returned). However, Mother's section 8 voucher has been granted and she will be able to move into an apartment which she has secured but needs to put a down payment on. By helping her with this, she and her children will have long-term stable housing.

A 12-year-old child is placed in a Department of Mental Health home to meet her needs as she has several diagnoses including autism spectrum disorder. This child has a history of causing damage to furniture items when she is escalated, in the past six months the child has broken two TVs in the living room. The DMH company has replaced the TV once already and we would like to try to alleviate the financial burden, while also finding a solution to this issue with a case. Please consider donating a television to allow the children in the home to enjoy their favorite cartoons and prevent future damage with the case that will be provided by DMH.

A devoted mother has expressed her need for a one-seater stroller suitable for her infant. As a single parent, she is navigating the challenges of providing for her new child independently. When we inquired about how we could assist her, she shared that having a stroller would make a significant difference in her daily life.

I am reaching out on behalf of parents of an 8-year-old boy with significant medical complexity that passed away last month in the hospital. It was a long journey with a prolonged hospital stay prior to his passing causing financial strain. Tragically, this is their second child to die at a young age due to the same genetic condition. While in their time of grief, the family is having difficulty paying the remaining expenses due to the funeral home. The family has a remaining balance of around $2,400 but any amount of support would mean so much to this family.

Jackson County Children's Division is seeking help in supplying a relative placement provider a gift card to either Target, Wal-Mart, or anywhere else that might allow her to purchase the child summer clothing. The child is currently in need of more leggings, athletic shorts, baggy t-shirts, and undergarments. The child has a lot of winter clothing, but not a lot of summer clothing to accommodate the KCMO heat. We as an agency would be more than grateful for any help that is offered by anyone, as any little bit can make a large difference! I am certain the placement provider will also be extremely appreciative of whatever help anyone can offer. Thank you for your consideration from Jackson County Children's Division!

During the home walkthrough, it became evident that this family, with four wonderful children sharing a bunk bed, would benefit immensely from having individual beds for each child. We strongly advocate for providing a bunk bed with mattresses for this family, ensuring that every child has their own space to rest and dream. Thank you for your support for this family.

I currently have a single mom who has 10 kids who is in need of some beds or cots to help make her apartment more livable for her family. She is working so hard at getting the apartment together and really making it a home for the kids. She could really use the support from her community right now. She could use 2 full beds + bedding sets or some cots for the kids so they can have a place to sleep. She would really appreciate any help her community can help her with. Thank you so much in advance!
