A mother of 2 children, ages 12 and 14, needs plumbing assistance. Mother is currently searching for employment and is working with Family Preservation Services. She reported to DCS yesterday that a piece of plumbing is needing repaired so her clothes washer can work properly, but she can't afford to fix it on her own at this time. The $100 estimate is an estimate. It is not known what amount is reasonable for this repair without a professional to see it and diagnose it. Updated on March 08, 2023 by an Agency Worker
The family still has this need.

Two children (12 and 13) were placed in kinship care on 02/14/2023. Both kids needs clothing as some are worn out and other became small for the kids. The new kinship placement is not able to buy clothes for the kids. When kids get clothes, they will be able to stay in the kinship placement. If they cannot get clothing, this can cause placement disruption due to placement feeling not helped to take care for the kids. $200 for each child would be enough.
