Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

We have a grandmother who agreed to move into her daughter's home to prevent 4 children from being removed from the home. Grandma is doing everything she can to maintain 4 young children in her home but this has caused her to lose her form of employment. The home was unclean when Grandma moved into the home but due to lack of funds and having her hands full, she is struggling to get the home back to the cleanliness it was prior to now. We are looking for cleaning supplies for Grandma or a cleaning company willing to to go to the home to assist the family so they can keep their home and children happy, healthy, and clean.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A person is in the process of adopting a young boy who has gone through a lot and now has many medical needs. The person adopting him stays at home with him to provide the love, care, and attention he needs and deserves. The family is hoping to increase the security of the home due to some threats made and would like to install some security cameras. If there is someone who is able to donate a camera or two or a whole camera system, that would be so helpful in increasing the family's peace of mind. Thank you for considering helping this family out!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A family is needing help securing a door on the side of their house. The door is meant to have a barricade, however, one of the brackets for the barricade has broken off, and therefore, the door cannot properly lock. The objects stored in that room are at risk and the rest of the home is less secure. The family is hoping for a new lock or barricade bracket to secure the door. The family and I greatly appreciate those considering to help out. Thank you.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

While being the full-time caregiver for their four young grandchildren and now cognitively impaired adult child was done out of commitment and love, but because of ongoing medical appointments and barriers with transportation it has caused limitation in these grandparents' ability to also provide enriching summer activities for their grandchildren. The hope is that we will be able to collect various outdoor actives from chalk, sprinklers, bikes, and toddler outdoors equipment so the kids can continue to experience a full summer. The age of the children range from 0 to 11 years old and would love to have activities to do together and utilize their new large backyard to do so.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

This youth has been working diligently to prepare for aging out of care. Throughout this process, he has faced numerous challenges and setbacks, yet he continues to persevere as he takes meaningful steps toward independence. Despite his best efforts, unforeseen circumstances have caused delays in his transition, including pushing back his planned age-out date. He has been actively searching for housing, securing an apartment, and covering the associated fees on his own.

At this time, he is in need of a grocery gift card to help cover food expenses for his first month on his own. Providing this support would relieve a significant financial burden and allow him to focus on building a stable foundation. By easing the immediate stress of affording food, we can help ensure a more successful and confident start to this important new chapter in his life.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Hello there, I'm reaching out on behalf of our client and their family who is in dire need of financial assistance to address the electrical issues they are currently experiencing. The client's family of 5 is currently struggling with what appears to be the functionality of their electrical breaker. They are only able to use a little bit of power at a time, which has led to the family being unable to cool their home adequately. Client's mother has contacted Evergy to assess the issue, and Evergy was only able to confirm that the issue was not on their end. Client's mother has contacted Lynn Electric in hopes to diagnose the problem, but they are requiring a payment estimate of $300 to even come out to assess what's wrong with their power. They are currently doing their best to come up with the money by donating plasma and cutting costs when possible but are currently surviving solely on client's stepdad's income and already struggling to make ends meet. We are reaching out to request financial assistance to pay for Lynn Electric to diagnose the problem in hopes that they can have functional power as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A parent is seeking two removable wheelchair ramps for their rental home to support their child’s mobility and safety. The child experiences physical challenges that make it difficult to navigate two specific transitions within the home. Although the child primarily uses a wheelchair, she is also learning to walk with a walker. However, she is unable to lift the walker or raise her leg to step over standard thresholds. A suitable removable ramp that meets the needs of both locations has been identified on Amazon. Go To Link

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

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.
