👟🌞 Helping a Supermom of 7! Summer Support Needed

We’re hoping to rally some support around an incredible single foster mom who is currently caring for seven amazing kids—yes, seven! She’s doing an incredible job juggling everything on her own, but could really use a little extra help this summer.

Right now, she’s in need of:

🍼 A stroller that can hold a car seat—something that makes outings a little easier and more manageable with the littlest ones in tow. 👗 Summer clothes for her 16-year-old daughter, who wears a junior size 2-3 pants and size medium shirts. Light, breathable clothing for the season would be a huge blessing!

This mama is showing up with so much love and dedication every single day, and meeting these practical needs would go a long way in lightening her load and reminding her she’s not alone.

💛 Thank you for considering how you might help support this family—it’s the little things that make a big difference.

The stroller need may be being met.

Clothing sizes are for 16 year old girl, pants/jeans size 2 or 3 and size medium shirts are still a need.

There is a family that is needing 2 high back booster seats in order to safely transport the children. Thank you!

A courageous mother of three is preparing to move into a home she will one day own through a rent-to-own opportunity, a dream she’s worked hard to make a reality. Over the past few years, we've had the honor of walking alongside her and witnessing powerful moments of growth. She is nearing one year of sobriety, has bravely left a domestic violence situation, and has fought to get the support her children need to thrive. Now, she’s taking the next step toward stability - securing a home where she can plant roots and truly take ownership! However, the home needs a lot of work. Demolition, paint, cabinets, flooring, and more. It’s not move-in ready, and we can’t do this alone. We need the community’s help to turn this space into a safe, welcoming home for her and her children. This is more than just a renovation. It’s a chance to invest in someone who is becoming a leader in her community - someone committed to walking with and supporting other families on their journeys. Let’s come together and help build a strong foundation for this incredible mom and her kids. With your help, we can turn this house into a place of healing, hope, and long-term flourishing!

A 15-year-old female and her 1.5-year-old daughter have been placed with a recently single-parent household and is needing the generosity of the community to help assist with an Evergy utility bill. Their home is disconnected and their current voucher being put towards utilities does not cover the entirety of the bill due to the recent single parent being overwhelmed of taking over this on their own. Proof of bill has been sent to the case manager. This family would be incredibly grateful for any amount to help them off, what is deemed by them, this mountain of a utility bill.

A family of five is requesting assistance with vehicle repairs for a 2014 Ford Escape S. The mother was involved in an automobile accident shortly after purchasing the vehicle, and before it was registered. Due to the nature of the damage, the vehicle will not currently pass inspection and therefore remains unregistered. This has resulted in several traffic tickets as the family has been unable to pay to have the vehicle repaired, and it is the family’s only means of transportation. The family has received an estimate of $1,500 for the vehicle to be repaired in a mechanic shop. The father has indicated that he and his uncle are willing and able to repair the vehicle themselves if they are able to obtain the parts. This family has been working very hard to overcome obstacles and has recently begun a Trial Home Visit. The ability for them to repair their vehicle and have it properly registered will go a long way in reducing stress. Without reliable transportation, the family has difficulty taking their three young children to doctor’s appointments and school/daycare events. This family is humbly requesting support in the form of monetary or labor assistance from a mechanic. Photos of the damage can be provided if needed.

A mother and her 3 children (2, 3 & 5 years old) are at risk of losing their housing due to ongoing housekeeping concerns. She has been working closely with me to improve the condition of the home, and throughout this process, I learned that she doesn’t have many of the basic items she needs to keep things clean and livable. She has no towels or washcloths for herself or the children, and no cleaning supplies beyond the very basics. This family is in need of towels, washcloths, a mop and bucket, cleaning rags, and floor cleaner. Meeting this need will give her the tools to care for her home, support her in maintaining stable housing, and help create a cleaner, healthier environment for her kids.

A grandmother of two young children recently upgraded their beds from two small beds to a twin bunk bed. However, she now needs a mattress for the bottom bunk of the bunk bed. Please help this hard-working grandma provide for her grandbabies by blessing her with a mattress for this bunk bed.

I have a youth that would like to remain in the home of their family member. The family member does have the space to accommodate the youth. The family member has 3 children of their own. A walk-through was completed by the case manager and sleeping space is available. The only concern is the home is not equipped with central AC unit. There are fans that are being used to keep the home cool, but that only works when the temperature is not so hot. The windows are open to circulate as much air as possible. The family is requesting if 1 to 2 window ac units can be provided to help the family. Any support and or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Mom is currently receiving SNAP assistance, but continues to struggle with paying rent at 450.00, and 60 in utilities. Daycare costs are 300.00 a month. Mom has requested immediate assistance for day care, because one of her children is still requiring supervision while she is still at the bedside.

I have a mom in need of assistance with her electric bill. She has supervised visits with her children in her home and is about to lose electricity. We would like to continue having the visits in her home where the children are comfortable. In order for this to continue, she needs some assistance.
