Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement
Client recently took in her niece from foster care the last week of March and has no baby items at all. Client explained that her niece was dropped off with the county car seat, but since the car seat was taken back, has no way of driving and getting around with her niece. Her niece is 2 months old, and is high needs due to extenuating circumstances with the mother.
Client is looking for an infant car seat that straps into the car, and prefers Graco 0-65lbs. Client expressed needing a car seat as soon as she can get one, so she is able to take her niece with to appointments and other trips.
Per First Care's policy the car seat must be new. Thank you!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
I have a single provider who has graciously opened her home to a kinship placement. This provider has 1 child of her own and has been struggling to make ends meet with the addition of another child in her home. For Anoka County to be able to license this home and preserve this kinship placement I have asked the provider to clean up the inside of the trailer home. She has expressed how she has so many plans for organizing and getting things tidy, but she does not have the funds to buy organizational items needed to make these dreams happen. At this time, I am requesting help with organization items that this family could benefit from to be able to eat together as a family so that everything isn't piled on top of the kitchen counters and kitchen table. She will use the Hutch to put her coffee pot, toaster etc on. Bins for cleaning supplies, food organization.
Below I have added links (you may need to copy and paste into google) that would be helpful for this family.
I have also added a surge protector extension cord for safety- the ones the foster child has in his room are not up to code and I made them get rid of them. Anything will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

This is a family that is facing eviction. The family members include: a first grade student, and her Mom and Dad. They live within Roseville. The family owes $7000.00 in rent and needs to pay it by April 30th. I know that is a large amount, so even some of it would be helpful.

Hi,
The family was able to pay part of this. They are now looking for $5,000. Again, even if part of this could be covered, would be appreciated.
