We have a single father with three children in his care, ages 1,2, and 5. The father was left to single-handedly care for the children once the mother was forced to vacate the home due to unfortunate circumstances. As result, the father resigned from his job to care full time for the children and is in need of financial assistance to afford basic items for the children, primarily diapers, shoes, and clothes for the children. A $150 Walmart gift card is requested to afford these items. The father is seeking employment that is flexible with his new role as a full-time caregiver so he and his family can be self-sufficient, but currently, he is in need of any financial assistance that can be offered. The caseworker can meet the donor at a time and location convenient for him/her to collect the gift card.

Great aunt and partner have placement of three siblings. The 3 and 4 year old boys are currently sleeping on a mattress on the living room floor and the 1 year old sister (almost 2) has a pack n play but is very uncomfortable in it. The family has little left over income per month and cannot afford to purchase beds. At this time, I am asking for help for three toddler beds, mattresses, and bedding for two boys and one girl. The 4 year old likes Spider Man. The 3 year old likes Paw Patrol, and the 1 year old likes Minnie Mouse.

We have a possible kinship home that we would like to license. The biological parents are monolingual Spanish speaking and the current foster home, while absolutely amazing, is not bilingual. The prospective kinship family that shares the same culture and language as the parents, has passed all Oklahoma backgrounds checks, and county checks in California. However, they have only been in this state for 2 years. We will need a statewide Child Welfare background check from California. The cost of this is $15.00. We would like to send the request with the money order via fed ex overnight (a cost of approximately $25.00) to expedite the process. I have been in contact with the agency in California and they have stated once received they will try and complete it as an expedited request due to the child being a newborn. This would allow us to get the baby out of traditional care and into the kinship home.

We have an uncle who is taking custody of his nieces/nephews to so they can exit custody and be with family. He is going from 1 to 5 children and could use some help!

We are currently in need of a enough bedding for the children to be able to come home.

Please consider helping a family in need! The mother recently had a medical emergency and has not been released to return to work yet. Mom is the caretaker for her oxygen dependent, elderly mother whom lives with the family.
Mom spoke with AGAPE, and they have offered to pay $200, if she can get the additional $191 paid.
Is this something you are able to help with?

A single mom in Cannon Falls is requesting assistance to replace a window in her trailer home. She already has a new window to install.

Mom has a child on the spectrum, so it is hard to find good day care. She is home with the kids until she can get services. That being the case, a kitchen table will help for the family's meals and for the kids to sit at and do activities. It will help the apartment to feel more like home. ALL THE ITEMS NEEDED ARE AVAILABLE FROM RISE CHURCH CP INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
