Redeemer KC - Needs

A mother with two young children in foster-care is actively leaving a domestic violence situation today. This mother left the home with nothing but the clothes on her back. Please consider donating a gift card for Walmart to this mother. She needs clothing items, hygiene items and other necessary items. This is an critical need.

This mother is in need of essential supplies for her newborn, with a particular urgency for a car seat and a pack n play. Efforts are being made to obtain these items through various resources such as Charlie’s House and Samuel Rogers, though success has yet to be achieved. While she speaks Sudanese Arabic, she faces challenges in reading both Arabic and English, making communication a challenge. However, she is aware that there are compassionate individuals working to assist her in acquiring these necessary items. Currently, she and her baby are still in the hospital, with a discharge anticipated for tomorrow. Let’s come together to support her in this critical time.

This family who lost their home in a house fire is in need of some new beds for their new home. Mom is who battling some medical problems is trying so hard at getting their home back together. She could use some help from her community in getting these items so that they have some new beds and a place to sleep in their new home. She has battled through multiple health problems and the house burning down and continues to fight everyday. She could use the help of her community to build her back up. Thank you in advance for helping her!!

An 8 year girl just entered foster care and will be having a birthday this week. This child came to the foster home with only the clothes on her back. The foster placement would like to purchase some new clothing items and a few toys to provide a meaningful birthday for this child as they have been separated from their family. Please consider donating a gift card so they can purchase items for her birthday.

We have a mom of 3 in our program who was admitted to the hospital and is worried about providing her kids with school supplies for the year. They need thins like school pants, backpacks, folders, notebooks, etc. We are requesting a gift card to walmart to help this family get what they need. The kids go to Kauffman and are in grades from 7th-11th. If this request is met it will go towards helping this mom provide new school clothes and gear/supplies for her kids as they enter this next year of high school, which should otherwise be an exciting time for them. Thank you.

I am a social worker working a family that is at risk of having their electricity turned off. Mom and Dad have three children and both work and have been able to afford their monthly bills previously, however, one of their children was recently admitted to CMH due to a traumatic brain injury. Due to this injury, Mom has had to stop working as pt now requires assistance with all daily living activities and requires 24/7 supervision for his safety and safety of others. As family has lost that income, they are now behind on their electric bill and at risk of having it turned off. The minimum payment to keep service on is $155.00. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated by family. Thank you for your consideration.

I have a mom who just started her trial home visit and daycare won’t start till later in the month. Because daycare won’t start Monday, this mom is having to miss work and her job has really been understanding but she can’t miss 11 days of work. She is needing help with self pay until state pay kicks in.

The mother reports it is a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country.

Mother of a medically complex child is struggling to afford her rent at this time; her daughter was inpatient at the hospital for 5 weeks due to severe illness. Mother was unable to work consistently as she was needed at bedside for her daughter. Mother is working full time trying to afford their rental payment but has fallen behind on payments. Mother's bills are adding up as she tries to support her children. Any amount would help this family during this hardship!

The family is struggling, and an older sibling stepped in to take the younger siblings into their home. Adding three additional people into the home has created a financial burden on the older sibling, and they could benefit from a gas card and groceries.

Food bank/pantries in the area will be provided to the family as well, but in the meantime, they could use immediate assistance as the older sibling works.

The Jackson County Children's Division Prevention team has been working with an apartment complex on safety concerns around their facilities. We have had numerous talks with management and unfortunately the type of safety concerns were having are in the units only with children. The complex can only do so much and have agreed to work with us to help solve the concerns from both us and KCPD. The apt complex has had numerous police reports due to children being unmonitored at unsafe age. The children have been able to leave the apt building, via window, front door, or sliding glass doors. The locks that the apt complex have are old and the actual door to get into the building is self-open. We had event at the apartment complex where we were able to speak with close to 75 families about these safety concerns there having. Some of them the doors just do not lock, or they do not have the funds to get the proper child safety locks, some of them their children will leave while parents are sleeping and there's no lock on the door that is high enough away off the ground where a child cannot reach it. We are hoping for about 50 window locks, eSynic Durable 10 Pack Window Restrictors Locks Easy to Install Window Restrictor Child Safety Window Lock with Screws Keys Limiting Opened Distance is the name of them on amazon. It is about $35 for 10 window locks.

Sliding glass door locks anywhere from 10-20 of these would be beneficially.

This is a great opportunity for our community to come together and help a whole apartment complex with some baby proofing items they are in need of 50 lever locks and 5 sliding glass door locks to help keep their kids safe as the current locks do not work on the new doors that the apartment put in and these families could use your help. This would serve 76 children and over 20 families this would be a huge help for this community. These lever locks would help prevent accidents and give parents peace of mind. These simple devices can make life saving differences in these families life's. Your contribution can lock in safety and peace of mind for these parents. Thank you in advance for your help with these families.
