I have a mother that has had to miss work for the past two weeks due to a sick child at home. As a result she has fallen behind financially with paying her rent.

Mother has expressed a need for help with her four children. They had to throw out their kitchen table so the family does not have a place to sit and eat meals together.

They are asking for a kitchen table and chairs.

As a case manager from KVC Permanency, a mother whose child recently came into care has reached out to me regarding a water bill that DCCCA previously said that they would help this mother pay. The mother then received a notice recently that her water was going to be shut off ASAP. Her bill is through waterone in Johnson county and in the amount of $115.77. This mother is attempting to have visits in her home with her child that is in care and needs to be able to have running water while she is over.

I have a family at our school who is having trouble making ends meet this month. They are short $250 this month on rent because they had been sick with the flu and had to take unpaid days off from work to care for themselves and their kids. Anything you could provide for this hardworking family with a special needs child would be greatly appreciated!

Client is a single mother who is working seven days a week to try to pay for the needs of her children and save for maternity leave. The father of her baby declined to help pay for any of the expenses related to the baby or prenatal care. Client needs size M or L maternity clothing - especially black stretchy pants that she can wear as part of her work uniform.

This family has requested assistance with before and after school care for the remainder of the school year. This child thrives on consistent routine and is worried if they are not able to continue with this routine for the remainder of the school year it will cause disruption to the child's behavior progress.

This family is still looking for any assistance they can receive to finish out the school year on the routine this kiddo thrives on. These fees are due now so if anyone is able to assist with even partially meeting this need, it is greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have a relative placement that needs our help with a dresser, a twin bed frame and an outdoor water activity table. The only requirement for the dresser is to please keep in mind this dresser will be in a bedroom with 4 children under the age of 8. :-) This relative placement is simply amazing and needs our help.

Thank you in advance, Erin Gutierrez KVC Kinship Coordinator(###) ###-####

This family is so close to reunification and are just waiting on housing. They have already made payments towards the housing payment and have also had some help from grandmother but are still needing the rest in order to move in.

A teenager was battling a significant heart condition and sadly passed away last week. The family is devastated and is relying on God and the community’s prayers in order to continue to put one foot in front of the other. The young man had plans to become a pilot and loved his family deeply. He was raised by a single mom and his siblings are absolutely devastated. His Mom has not put money aside for his funeral as this was an unexpected death. If a church is willing or able to assist with funeral expenses, the family would greatly appreciate the financial contribution. Thank you for your consideration.

After years of separation caused by circumstances beyond their control, a 16-year-old in foster care is finally ready to reunite with their father and stepmother in Georgia. This isn’t just a visit—it’s a permanent, long-awaited move home. The bond between father and child has been carefully and lovingly rebuilt over time, and the family is overjoyed to welcome their teen into a stable, supportive home. Now, with the school year coming to a close, everything is in place—except the funds to get them there.

We’re asking for your help to cover the cost of a plane ticket and the extra baggage fees, and shipping fees needed to bring the teen's belongings—things that make a young person feel like they’re bringing their life with them, not starting from scratch. Help a child in foster care find their forever home, where love and safety wait with open arms. Your support could make that dream a reality. Every donation is a step closer to family, healing, and hope. We appreciate any support and funding that can be provided to help this child become part of their family again.
