Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
2
Normal Request
These children have been placed out of the home in Roanoke City to a home in Vinton. This is still considered a Roanoke City DSS case. This case deals with four children being removed from their parents home. Two were placed with an aunt and the other two are now in their second placement home with the great grandmother. The children have been experiencing the trauma associated with being the child of addicts for several years now. This is the first time they've been placed outside of the home. Even though they are with family they greatly miss their parents. The great grandmother is requesting size five diapers and wipes. The little boy is requesting a "Josh Plushie" for Christmas and the little girl is requesting a Magic Mixie Lamp. These may be the only gifts they receive for Christmas. Mom and dad are struggling financially in their addiction and the great grandmother is on a fixed income.

A mother who is a victim of domestic violence is working towards stability for herself and her children. Due to her financial situation while she is trying to gain independence from the abusive relationship she has fallen behind on some bills. The Department would like to purchase security cameras for her to help with family safety, but she currently does not have internet access. The mother needs approximately $300 to get her internet service restored, which would allow the security cameras to be connected. The Department will be able to cover the cost of the cameras and the mother has been referred to the COX discount internet program to assist with the internet costs moving forward.

This family is trying to set up separate residences for both parents. Father's work schedule is fluid. Mother has a lot of appointments. The parents and babysitter have to share a car seat. Due to the frequency at which the caregivers exchange baby, they could use another car seat. This would cut down on time and effort, which will help decrease stress on caregivers and baby.

High Urgency Request
This family consists of a mother, step-father, and 4 year old child. Step-father just started a new job but has not been paid yet. Mother lost her job about a month ago and is still looking for a new one. The child is special needs with some challenging behaviors and is in services, which can make it hard for the family to maintain steady employment when having to take time off for service appointments and such. Mother is currently pregnant with her second child and has some of her own mental health challenges and is under a lot of stress. The family is behind on rent and they need to catch up to prevent possible eviction. This request of one months rent would be greatly appreciated to help the family maintain their housing and reduce some stress so they can focus on maintaining the child's special needs as well.
