Kinship caregiver reached out stating that she is having trouble making ends meet with the 3 new children in her care. She stated "It's $75 to fill my car and I need to get the children to the dentist and the food just isn't cutting it, especially with the boys." She would very much appreciate some food and gas assistance. Thank you for considering!

This foster family has biological children in the home and now has a sibling set of three children in foster care as well. They are struggling to fit all of the children in the car. They need to have very narrow carseats that can fit 3 across in their vehicle. The best brand for this is DIONO. They would great appreciate a DIONO convertible car seat so that they can fit all of the children in the car.

This is a kinship caregiver with a placement of three children ages 5, 6 and 12. The family does not have a couch for the children to sit on and relax as a family.

I am working with a 21 year old mother of 1 child. Mom is looking for a job and is driving Uber in the meantime. She is barely making rent and could really use some help as her daughter is turning 2 on July 7th. She would like to make the day special and thankfully her daughter is at an age where socks and hair ties make her excited. Mom is looking to be able to buy her daughter some clothing and shoes along with a toy or two but just is not in a place where she can afford to do so. A gift card to Walmart or Target would be an amazing gift to this young mother.

Looking for a team of volunteers to assist a single mom who has a school age child with cleaning, organizing and packing so they are able to relocate closer to family. Single mom went out of state briefly to get things prepared for her move upon her return she discovered someone unknown had stayed in her place due to a faulty locking back door and that the person had went through her already packed belongings and left the place a mess.

A tablet is a needed item for one of the children as they have endured an immense amount of DV and as of a result, the child is participating in therapy to digest some of the trauma. Mom's car recently broke down and is unable to take bus transportation due to the safety concerns this resulted to therapy for the child having to move virtually. The child has been unable to attend therapy because the family does not have a electronic device that has a camera/video function working. Any household items are also need and appreciated for Mom and the children (ages 3, 4 and 6). We have recently been able to locate a home that is safe and stable and our hope is that this can be something long term. Mom and the children will move into today (6/17) and have no furniture, cleaning items, curtains, bedsheets, decor, or really anything. We will take anything and everything to help this location feel like home for mom and the children. Anything new or gently used would be appreciated, thank you.

This Aunt and Uncle took in a drug exposed new born. They have had him for almost a year now. The uncle recently had a stroke and is currently unable to work his full hours. Additionally, he has to go to physical therapy weekly and it is not covered by his insurance. They are just about through their savings and are hoping to get a little assistance with some groceries. A gift card for any establishment that provides groceries would be greatly appreciated by this family.

This child's father and mother recently abandoned him. His mother's friend recently allowed him to stay in her home and filed for legal guardianship of him. Because this was unexpected, the care provider is struggling to buy clothes for him. This child's biological parents have attempted to be located but they will not cooperate with the Department. The father was evicted from their home and all their stuff was on the front lawn so this child doesn't have much of his belongings at the care providers home. The care provider now has legal fees on top of caring for an additional household member and would benefit from the help of a gift card to buy clothes for the child.

This grandmother is caring for her two grandchildren, ages 3 and 5. They share a small space together and she is in need of storage space to help organize their toys/clothes/belongings. This family would benefit from a few plastic bins to mitigate the concern for a clean/safe place for her grandchildren to play. This would also help teach the children about the responsibility of cleaning up after themselves, which will be beneficial as they get older and are in a collaborative school environment.
