The two oldest children came into the dependency system nearly three years ago and the youngest child was born into the case. The caregiver has been active in maintaining the sibling group in her care since placement over a year ago. The caregiver also has custody of a grandchild with disabilities. The caregiver worked to recertify her level 1 license but there was a delay in funding, and this has continued to set the caregiver back with paying the bills on time. The caregiver is working to keep track of her budget and is enrolled in financial coaching services. She is currently utilizing community resources to assist with reducing financial strains such as using food banks. The caregiver was able to locate cheaper car insurance but had to use money to pay the down payment and associated fees. The caregiver needs financial assistance to help pay her next car insurance payment in the amount of $210.42.
