Story
Family stepped up to take in a child in foster care so that he can remain in his school district and Graduate. The youth will be turning 18 on 5/2/25 and is a graduating senior. This family initially agreed to take the child into their home under the impression that the bio-mother would help support financially in the form of additional groceries and day-to-day essential items. When the child was placed in the home the bio mother disappeared and has not engaged in any contact with the Department or the Fictive Kin placement. Child was placed in this home on 4/15/25 and will need to stay until he is able to leave care on his 18th birthday (5/2/25). We are asking for grocery cards, or various gifts cards to assist the family through the end of May.
