A single mother with diagnosed mental health issues is struggling financially to protect the child as he continues to cause damage to the home. The family is in need of house repairs for broken windows and holes in the walls that the child has caused.

Family is needing assistance with either first months rent or deposit on house. Familys current home is infested with fleas and mice. Parents report landlord has not been assisting with issue (January is when it started). Parents are on disability and fixed income. Family had to get rid of their mattresses and are sleeping on air mattresses at this time due to the fleas.

Parents struggle with getting transportation to and from their daughter's medical appointments. Their daughter has a lot of medical issues, which cause her to need numerous medical appointments a month. The mother, who is approximately 6 months pregnant, takes the bus and walks a great distance to get from the bus stops to her daughter's appointments. Any amount given towards this family will help. It would greatly strengthen the bond with the family as they work toward reunification and take some stress off mom, who is not only fighting for her baby back, but also carrying another life!

We have a grandmother who agreed to move into her daughter's home to prevent 4 children from being removed from the home. Grandma is doing everything she can to maintain 4 young children in her home but this has caused her to lose her form of employment. The home was unclean when Grandma moved into the home but due to lack of funds and having her hands full, she is struggling to get the home back to the cleanliness it was prior to now. We are looking for cleaning supplies for Grandma or a cleaning company willing to to go to the home to assist the family so they can keep their home and children happy, healthy, and clean.

We have a mom of 3 in our program who was admitted to the hospital and is worried about providing her kids with school supplies for the year. They need thins like school pants, backpacks, folders, notebooks, etc. We are requesting a gift card to walmart to help this family get what they need. The kids go to Kauffman and are in grades from 7th-11th. If this request is met it will go towards helping this mom provide new school clothes and gear/supplies for her kids as they enter this next year of high school, which should otherwise be an exciting time for them. Thank you.

A grandmother is caring for three of her grandchildren who are involved in the foster care system. One of the children would like to go see the production of WIZ this week at the Music Hall in KC. The family simply does not have extra funds for these sorts of experiences.

As she is a child, there would be a need for at least two tickets. The ticket cost would run around $100-180 total depending upon the seats. Tickets are selling quickly, and the show is later this week.

Mother of a medically complex child is struggling to afford her rent at this time; her daughter was inpatient at the hospital for 5 weeks due to severe illness. Mother was unable to work consistently as she was needed at bedside for her daughter. Mother is working full time trying to afford their rental payment but has fallen behind on payments. Mother's bills are adding up as she tries to support her children. Any amount would help this family during this hardship!

This family is needing assistance with rent/deposit for a new home due to the family needing more space for a child they are taking as kinship placement after a life altering accident. The child needs more space for the medical equipment along with the ability for them to work with nursing, physical, and occupational therapist in the home. Assisting with the rent/deposit will allow the family to move and settle in to their new home, and allow the child to discharge from the hospital after being admitted for over 6 months. Any assistance is appreciated.

Single mother and her three children need assistance paying rent on their new apartment so they can finally have longterm housing.

Mother is currently staying at a long-term stay hotel where she has been harrassed and attacked at by other guests. She has been staying there after being kicked out of a shelter that was supposed to help her until she found more permanent housing and was allegedly robbed and manipulated by a service provider who took her money (which following a significant period of time was returned) and many of her items (which still have not been returned). However, Mother's section 8 voucher has been granted and she will be able to move into an apartment which she has secured but needs to put a down payment on. By helping her with this, she and her children will have long-term stable housing.

This family needs help paying their $5000 rent bill. They will be evicted on July 10th if they do not contribute to the total. The mother I have been working with is just returning to her job after maternity leave. There are 4 kiddos who live in this apartment who would not have somewhere to live if they are evicted. Mother and her boyfriend are now working and will be able to handle the monthly rent once it is down to a manageable amount. Mother has reached out to other community organizations who do not have funding to help her family at this time. Thank you so much for considering this families needs.

Hello, I am a Social Worker for a family of 3, family includes a mother and two children. One of mothers children has been admitted to hospital since birth (7 weeks old currently). Infant remains admitted for critical cardiology care. Upon birth, mother was admitted to hospital as well due to kidney failure. Mother recently was discharged but due to her own health condition along with infants current admission she has not been able to return to work. This has impacted mothers income and has caused the family financial strain. Mother has reported falling behind on car payments ($380/biweekly), car registration ($2,000) and car insurance ($500). Mother stated the biggest priority she would need assistance with is car registration. Mother stated assistance with registration would help offload total car cost she is facing with repossession. Mother does not have consistent transportation for her and her other child (17 years old) who has recently signed up for college course this summer but is having a hard time getting to college course. Due to transportation needs, mother is not able to visit her infant as much as she would like as well as follow up appointments. At this time, there is not a definite discharge date for mothers infant as she continues to need monitor of pacemaker and mechanical ventilation due to cardiorespiratory failure from congenital heart disease. Mother would be appreciative of any assistance she could receive at this time.

I am writing on behalf of two school-aged boys who currently live with their grandma, who is pursuing Guardianship. We recently had a visit with the family, and they are all doing extremely well. The boys did mention a wish to attend a baseball game, so we are reaching out in hopes to connect this family with some tickets to either a Royals or Monarchs game. They have never attended a game before but love to watch them on TV. Although this request is not an immediate need, it would really make this family thrilled in the opportunity to spend some time together doing something out in the community.
