Good afternoon, DCCCA is currently working with a single mother who struggles with a fracture vertebra, she also has a son who has diabetes and other medical diagnosis. He often needs treatment and has multiple appointments. This mother lost her job due to severe spinal issues and is currently doing the best she can with what she has. This worker apologizes in advance for the amount we need, but I would not ask for such, if I did not know her true situation. Unfortunately, her car needed multiple repairs causing her auto repair bill to be $1950. The mother is asking for support with $500 dollars that can be paid directly to the shop. Mother is also open to speak with donors and find other solutions if needed. Thank you for your ongoing support. We wouldn’t be able to do our jobs without you.

This young adult is a Little Brother in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Kansas City. Recently his family has had financial struggles since his mother is a single parent who works at a factory in Kansas City and is unable to support her child with driver's education despite working over 40 hours per week. The hope is to help this young person obtain a driver's license so that he can get to school and work with more ease. Currently his mother has to drive him everywhere. He is completely dependent on his mom's schedule and often has to walk to get to his job that's over an hour away (walking).

I have a bio family who is in need of immediate assistance with an energy bill. They have received a notice of disconnection in 5 days. There are two kids in the home and mom is expecting but having a difficult pregnancy. As she is of advance age she is struggling with high blood pressure brought on by her pregnancy. She is unable to work full days and medical team is encouraging bed rest. She shared that she is overwhelmed and terrified thinking about having to take an extended maternity leave without pay and having looming bill over the families head. In applying for LIHEAP they instructed her to wait until receiving a disconnect notice from the energy company but then was later denied and now is left without a means to pay. "I just can't stop worrying about everything which is exactly why I can't get the blood pressure under control, the only cure is delivery but that 15 weeks away. I can't continue like this I really need someone help." This mother has overcame so many barrier to provide for her children. She has completely turned her life around and has never stopped loving and caring for them. She has always keep the children's best interest at hear even when it was not favorable outcome for her. She completed substance use treatment and has been sober for over a year now. She is a wonderful person who just need some extra support at this time. ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Hello there, we just placed a fifteen-year-old child with her great grandmother. The great grandmother is on a fixed income and is in need of a twin mattress and box spring for the child that we placed with her today. The great grandmother is also caring for another grandchild that she has adopted. The grandmother has had the child that we placed with her today since she was a baby. We are hoping that someone could possibly donate this item and deliver it to her home. She lives on the 5th floor at an apartment building, and it would be difficult for her financially as well as physically to get. Thank you so much for your consideration.

This is actually for a family on the KS in JOCO, but I had to try to find someone to help. Mother and son are going to be evicted and need their rent paid as soon as possible with the last possible day being the 25th of september. Mom was unemployed due to her car being wrecked but recently she has started a new job and should be able to sustain the family going forward after this. Mom is so worried about having to move because they have no support system here and her son really loves the school he goes to, has made a lot of friends, and likes being able to be on a sports team. Mom was able to pay part of her rent but they still owe 1241.80. Mom has not asked for help in the past and when we talked she just said, "it's really hard for me to say this, but I need help. I don't know what else to do".

Hello there again, I placed a 15-year-old female in her great grandmother's home yesterday. She came with nothing, and we are scrambling to get her some basic needs. The grandmother also cares for another one of her grandchildren. Her only income is social security. The grandmother cried for joy when she found out that KVC would be placing with her. We are hoping that maybe we could get some individuals to go in on a gift card for her to get some toiletries, shoes and clothing. We are also working to get these items as well. Any amount is welcome and appreciated. Thank you so much for your continued support!

Children's Division is working alongside a single mother of four young children; aged 12, 5, 4, and 1 years. Mom currently rides the bus everywhere, but it can be difficult for her to transport the children. She is hoping to get assistance with acquiring a stroller (preferably with a platform on the back for the older children to stand on the back) that she could bring onto the bus. Mom stated that she could also benefit from an Air Fryer so that she could cut down on cooking time for the kids. Lastly she mentioned that getting area rugs for her home so that she would have a space to put her children down on the floor at home. Any assistance is greatly appreciated by the family and Children's Division.
