High Urgency Request
This child has been the foster care system for many years. In his young life he has learned some unhealthy habits. He is now currently developing and growing while his needs are being met. We are asking for the balance of a 10-week summer camp program to be paid. The total cost of the program is $1,700.00. KC Parks and Recreation has offered a 50% scholarship to attend camp. CASA is able to cover the cost of one week of summer camp. Leaving a balance $850.00. This would be a great program for child to continue to grow and learn skills.

A single mother of four is needing help with getting some items to clean/organize their house. Mom has already taken some steps to get the house back in shape, but has asked for some items to help further her success. These items will help mom feel like she can accomplish the goals that were asked of her. Mom said that she would be fine with having plastic drawers for dressers. Amazon has really nice ones.

This mother was working 2 jobs while pregnant and trying to save up before giving birth. Her son came early though and was very premature. She has stopped working to be with him at the hospital and is attempting to breastfeed him since that is best for all babies but especially premature babies, but she now cannot afford her rent. She will likely be off for at least 8 weeks. Her rent is $1,300.00. The mother may be able to return to work after 8 weeks to maintain her livelihood, but in the meantime needs extra support since she had tried to plan for this event and the baby had other ideas about when to be born Updated on May 10, 2023 by an Agency Worker
Mom now has an eviction notice with a baby about to come home from the NICU and this request is even more urgent. Help would allow this baby to go home with his mother.

Mom works nights and is supported by a cousin who helps care for the children. The three eldest children are enrolled in school and the youngest is going to start school next year. Mom is doing her best to try and provide for her children's needs, but is in need of some assistance.

This worker was given pre-approval that this family will qualify. With the removal of the children from Mom's home it has caused emotional distress and lack of motivation. Most recently, the mother was offered employment with the Cheesecake Factory. However, she is now experiencing car problems. However, she is familar and willing to ride the bus. In addition to the car issues, the mother is unable to begin working because she doesn't have a state ID. She is unable to purchase an ID due to no lack of funds. She is in need of financial assitance to aleviate some of the stress she's experiencing. The mother is in need of a state ID. She believes the cost of the ID is $18-$20. Additionally, the mother has fell behind on some of her utility bills and is panicking. Mom can truly benefit from a fresh start as a result of getting help with her utilites. The mother is in need of help with her: Electric bill (Evergy) - $109, Water bill (KC Water) - $78, Gas Bill (Spire) - $110 and State ID: $18-$20 Any help is appreciated, thank you!
