A set of grandparents are currently caring for their grandchild due to various concerns for the child in the care of their parents. The grandparents are needing a crib for the child as the parents did not provide them with one. The grandparents do not need to be burdened with the extra cost if child welfare and the Careportal can assist them with this.

A family needs a toddler bed, mattress, and bedding for their 2 year old daughter. Currently their daughter is sleeping with them in their bed or on a pallet on the floor. They are doing the best they can to provide for the needs of their family and a toddler bed would give their child a space of her own to sleep for safety and comfort. Worker priced beds on Walmart.com. Toddler beds range from $40 to $75, Crib mattresses $35 to $40, and Toddler bedding $25 to $35 (a crib sheet and blanket would be okay too)

Kinship family in need of assistance with rent and utilities. They also need help with new tires and an oil change for the one vehicle they own. Dad was working two jobs to try to make ends meet. Mom is also working. They have limited resources and ability to get to resources which could help them. Any help would be appreciated. The family just started getting any type of reimbursement for the child in the home and the child has been there for 6 months due to the work schedule of the family and the family needing to work and causing them unable to complete training.

This family is currently in their aftercare services after the children were reintegrated into her home in June 2023. Mom recently had to move into a new home and is in need of a few household items. Such as a toilet plunger, full size bed, cleaning supplies, pots and pans, and cooking utensils. These items will help mom preserve permanency for these children and ensure they are in a safe environment. Mom is currently working with what she has to meet the needs of the children but these things would help her financially so she doesn't have to go get them all herself and can pay for other expenses for the children such as diapers, wipes, and her household bills.

Biological mom started trial reunification with her two little girls this week. She is engaged in services and currently looking for a job. She is needing assistance with gas money to get the girls to and from daycare. Both little girls also have doctor appointments this month that she will have to transport them to and from. Thank you for your assistance!
