Sojourn on Savannah Ave

Three siblings currently residing with their grandmother in St. Joseph are in urgent need of support. The family requires two twin-size mattresses to replace those that were infested with bed bugs, as well as three pillows—one for each child. Providing these items will help preserve the current kinship placement and ensure that the siblings can remain together in a safe and stable environment. The Missouri ICPC has requested additional services for this family, and we want to ensure they are fully prepared for the upcoming DSS visit scheduled for May 14th.

There are 3 school age children who can not bathe appropriately, wash their clothes effectively and come to school dirty, smelling, its difficult for them to learn due to other children teasing them, itchy skin, all the things.

A child has had lice for about two months now. She has missed 12 days of school and is now missing end of year testing. Her guardian has not been able to contain the lice with over-the-counter products, and she is in need of professional treatment. I have located a salon in the area that is able to provide services at a discounted rate so that she does not miss any more school. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If you are able to assist, please reach out to me and I will provide the information for the salon where gift certificate can be purchased.
