High Urgency Request
Mom is currently a participant in Family Treatment Drug Court she is currently in Phase three and progressing well. The team is requesting financial assistance for mom to purchase clothing items for the boys for back to school. Mom states most all of clothing items for the 8yr do not fit him anymore. Mom is requesting pants, shirts and undergarments size husky 9-10. Mom is currently unemployed and does not have the financial resources that would allow her to pay for the requested items herself. Mom is engaged and compliant with Family Treatment Drug Court and actively working towards reunification. This would benefit the family by allowing mom to have the items she needs for the boys. Any help with this request is greatly appreciate.

Family is in need of funding for groceries in the form of a gift card to a local grocery store. The foster child in the home has faced recent hospitalization and a grocery gift card would allow the placement parent to maintain eligibility and supervision of the hospitalized child while not having to worry or stress about providing food/meals to the other children at home. A grocery gift card would allow the foster parent the ability to focus fully on the care and recovery of the foster child while still maintaining a consistent household. Please add any additional funds needed to activate a card if applicable.
