Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Normal Request
A relative placement is in need of some assistance with some groceries. The grandmother is still working but had to take some time off due to hurting her shoulder. She had surgery recently and isn't sure when she will be able to go back to work. Her husband did get some items from the food pantry, but was only able to get dry goods. An Aldi's gift card was requested, but they would be greatful for anything.

This child has been the foster care system for many years. In his young life he has learned some unhealthy habits. He is now currently developing and growing while his needs are being met. We are asking for the balance of a 10-week summer camp program to be paid. The total cost of the program is $1,700.00. KC Parks and Recreation has offered a 50% scholarship to attend camp. CASA is able to cover the cost of one week of summer camp. Leaving a balance $850.00. This would be a great program for child to continue to grow and learn skills.

A single mother of four is needing help with getting some items to clean/organize their house. Mom has already taken some steps to get the house back in shape, but has asked for some items to help further her success. These items will help mom feel like she can accomplish the goals that were asked of her. Mom said that she would be fine with having plastic drawers for dressers. Amazon has really nice ones.

I am currently working with a mother of two with severe mental health issues. She has been unable to work and owes $2200 for her gas bill. They turned off her gas this week and will not turn it back on until she pays $1250. We were able to find a community resource that will pay $500 if we are able to come up with the remaining $750. The mother is working to get into vocational rehab at this time as well as additional mental health services. The gas in her home is for her stove, hot water heater, and heat. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you for considering this request and for all your support in our community!

The children need help with car seats. A car seat for a 12-18 month old female child, and a car seat for a 3 year old male child. Clothing is needed also for girl 18 months and boy 4T/5T as she does not have much extra clothing. This is a one time investment as the caregiver just needs help with these items. The caregiver has taken over the children as it was unexpected and she is trying to provide for them but is in need of some help to continue care. She also needs help with a baby gate, a simple stroller to take the baby on walks and food. Due to needing child I.d for food pantry's she is struggling with food until she gets approved for kinship. Anything will help her right now until her approval. Thank you so much.
