I have a 17 year old youth (KR) who has been in Foster Care since September of 2021. The youth has been in locked down facilities and/or detention the entirety of her time in Foster Care. She was recently placed on a trial home placement with her maternal grandmother and biological mother who reside in the same home in Bedford, VA. KR is very excited about the opportunity to be with her family as she has not seen them or lived with them in a long period of time. KR is currently in need of a straight talk cell phone as well as a one month $45 straight talk phone service card so that her family can connect with her when they have to go to work. This is a huge need in order for the family to continue having KR in their home as they have to work and ensure KR is behaving well. The family is understanding that they will have to continue the $45 a month phone card after the first 30 days. The family is also is need of grocery and gas gift cards to help with the additional month to feed and additional travel to appointments. KR and her biological sister are both prescribed medication and need lock boxes for those prescriptions. Please let me know if you are able to assist this family so that KR can remain on her trial home placement and hopefully have custody returned to her family.
