The mother on this case was given an eviction notice and was requested to be out by October 31st, 2023. The mother was off work for 3 months due to having a broken foot and got behind on her rent. Due to her renting from her father and not having a lease agreement we are not able to assist in getting her rent paid up. The mother is trying to get a new place but has a past due bill from when she left her abuser. If this bill is paid, she will have a better chance of getting an apartment for her and her son before the October 31st deadline. This bill is an Evergy Bill.

A single mom of three kids is at high risk of getting evicted this month. She works a full time position at a hospital and fell under some tough times financially and has been unable to cover the full cost of rent. In addition to that, there have been several late fees that have made the cost unrealistic for the mom be able to afford it and take care of her children. One of her kids has had major behavioral issues at school and mom has been called multiple times requiring her to pick her kid up from school and having to miss work and therefore losing resources by having to leave work. She's going through a lot and could really use this one-time assistance with securing her home for her family. Her and her children may become homeless if they are not able to get rent and these late fees covered as soon as possible.

A kinship provider is in need of an Uber gift card as she has been responsible for providing transportation for the foster youth and the youth's baby. The youth and baby go to a school in Kansas City, MO because they have a daycare program in the school for students who are parents. Options for teen students are very limited on the KS side so this has been the best option even though the school is 17 miles away from the home. The provider has either been taking both youth to school or ordering and Uber each day since school has started two weeks ago in order to make sure the youth is attending classes so she can graduate on time this year. The school in Missouri is working to get a ride share program set up for the youth but at this time, the family is responsible for transportation despite having limited availability as her work schedule is very inflexible. We would like to provide financial support to her through an Uber gift card as she has put so much effort into making sure the youth attends school and gets her degree which can be especially difficult as a teen parent. We would be very grateful for any amount of help in the form of gift cards.
Thank you!

This working, single mother is in need of a crib and crib mattress for her youngest child. Despite working full time, the budget never seems to stretch as far as one would hope with multiple children. Her youngest child has quickly outgrown the pack n play she has been using and is about to surpass the weight limit. Since safety is always the number one priority for her children, this mother knows she a crib, but cannot afford one. A crib and crib mattress will help to ensure this child has a safe sleep plan and help a single working mom.

A single working mom is in need of a convertible car seat for her youngest child. Although she is working full time, as a single mom to 3 young children, the budget never seems to stretch as far as one would hope. As her youngest has grown, they have gotten too big for their infant carseat. As safety is always the number one priority for her children, this mother knows she needs a bigger car seat, but cannot afford one. A convertible car seat will help to ensure this child is kept safe and help a single working mom stay within her means and keep food on the table.

Children have never attended public school and are struggling to keep up. KVC is in the process of getting children help through school as well, but the children have been making great progress with their current tutor. Placement is currently paying out of pocket for children to attend tutoring, but placement is very low income, so this is difficult to upkeep.
