Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
The family is facing difficult situation and is in need of temporary assistance with their water bill. The parent reported her grandmother initially had the funds to pay the bill however her account was hacked. The family is on a fixed income. The family is experiencing financial hardship due to food stamps decreasing and fathers for the children not paying child support. Parent has sought assistance from several community resource and family, but unfortunately, they have been unsuccessful. Parent was able to pay a portion of the bill and is needing assistance for the remainder balance. The family’s water was shut off today. With this temporary help, parent believes they will be able to manage their bills independently in the future.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
I am requesting grocery assistance for a family consisting of a mother, her 16-year-old child, and her 10-Month-old grandchild. The mother is currently the sole provider for the household and is working to meet all of the family’s basic needs on her own. Despite her efforts, the family is experiencing difficulty affording enough groceries to ensure everyone has adequate and nutritious food. Providing this support will help stabilize the family’s food situation and promote the children’s overall well-being.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
This placement family has been doing amazing at keeping this child safe while the child's mother works on her own needs. This placement has needed some help with daycare, but they do not meet requirments for a standard approval and the waiver system is not a short process, but their wallet could benefit from some assistance now.
The family would be put in a place to be set ahead for a month if they had at least a free month of daycare, and hopefully by then, the child will be allowed to return home if mom is able to make some progress!
This little girl is a social butterfly and is very articulate for 3 years old, so daycare would be the perfect place for her to continue to develop her social skills. her daycare is $500 a month and would greatly benefit the cargivers to have her at a daycaare that is close to them and works with their work schedule since they work atypical jobs.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
My client is a single mother with a 1-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl. Mo and children had to go to a shelter due to domestic violence. Mo had to leave the shelter and someone she knew years ago said she and her children could stay with her. Mo does not currently have a job. She is not from this area and does not have any other support. Mo does not have a phone or a job. Mo needs 2 toddler beds for the children. Mo also needs diapers and wipes. The children are size 5 and size 7 in diapers. If anyone can assist, it would greatly help this family. Filling this request will allow the 1- and 2-year-old to sleep in their own beds and it will also meet their most basic hygiene needs. Thank you for any help anyone can provide.

The family inherited their home from paternal great grandmother. They are in need of a one-time yard maintenance service as the yard is overgrown and unable to manage with a push mower alone. The child is one-year-old and enjoys playing outside - however, the tall grass and debris provides a safety hazard for the child.
Additionally, the family owns a riding mower that is in need of repair - if there is an option to help with this as well.

Mom is also in need of living room furniture and a kitchen table if possible, but she is more concerned about making sure each child has their own bed to sleep in.
