A 7th grade male student, in foster care until his foster parents became his legal guardians last year, is requesting assistance to bury his biological mother who recently passed away. The family has had her cremated but the child has asked to have her interned so that he can visit her grave site multiple times a year to place flowers and talk with her as a way to heal from the trauma he has experienced. Child Welfare and other support agencies have been unable to assist the child and his guardians because it was his biological mother who passed not a current legal guardian or the child himself. The total needs is $ 2,276.50 but they have raised $1,250 on gofundme.com Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

A single maternal grandmother had her two young grandchildren recently placed in her care. Due to the fact that she is a single caregiver she has requested help two areas. One area of support for this grandmother would be in being provided with diapers for the youngest grandchild, a female who wears size 4 diapers.

A student is enrolled in a dual credit course at our high school. A student found out yesterday that since their family can not pay the dual credit fee they will be dropped from this class unable to earn college credit. Dad already works two jobs to support the family and won't have money to pay this fee tomorrow. The student is incredibly bright and is passing this course with flying colors and wants to be able to earn this college credit.
