Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

We have a resilient and remarkable young woman who is preparing to begin her college journey this fall. At just 18, she’s already demonstrated incredible independence, strength, and determination. She’s been working since the age of 15 and saved enough to buy her first car—an amazing achievement that speaks volumes about her work ethic and drive.

She currently resides in a kinship placement that does not receive a stipend, yet she continues to thrive. She’s a natural leader, a fierce advocate for herself, and has a hilarious side—she’s known for playing practical jokes that keep everyone laughing. Her deep love for her family, sisters, and culture grounds her, and her compassion for others shines through in everything she does.

Despite carrying the weight of many responsibilities, she remains caring, funny, and focused on her future. We want to send her off to college with the support she deserves and a reminder of how proud we all are of her.

She could use some help gathering college essentials, such as: • School supplies (notebooks, pens (gel pens), highlighters, paper, binders, scientific calculator) • A nice backpack • Purple-themed items (her favorite color!) • Basic clothing (size med in shirts, size 8 in bottoms) • A laptop and wireless moust that fits into a backpack (if possible)

Thank you!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This request is for a Hope Florida participant that is an elderly grandmother. She is seeking assistance with a small refrigerator to keep food fresh and a double burner stove to make hot meals. This grandmother has spent the last four years caring for her granddaughter since birth. She's in the process of guardianship/adoption with assistance from Legal Aid. Her social security income stretches thin, barely covering their basic needs. Still, she finds joy in simple things—her granddaughter's laughter, the quiet moments of bedtime stories and an unwavering belief that they’ll make it through. Recently, their small stove and refrigerator that made their home functional, were stolen. Without a refrigerator, fresh food is impossible to keep, and hot meals are a distant memory. The grandmother worries about the child is missing out on nutritious, warm meals that every child deserves. Through all this she has remained steadfast and caring for her granddaughter. Please help this child have the appropriate hot meals she needs to grow strong and healthy. Fridge link: Go To Link ###-####classType=VARIANT&from=/search. Stove link: Go To Link

Help Improve a Child's School Attendance

A single Mom with 6 children is needing assistance with gas. The family lives in Ellinwood but the children go to school in Great Bend. The mother has had so many doctor appointments with the children in Great Bend, Salina and Kansas City that she has been fired from her jobs for taking so much time off. The mom has been dependent on the grandmother to help with transportation to school and back home, but the grandmother cannot help at this time. Mom does side jobs to help support the family, but she cannot depend on that income regularly. She needs help with getting gas to take her children to school on Monday and for the rest of the school year. She has a large vehicle which burns a lot of gas. She is very appreciative of any assistance she receives and helps other families when she can.

One of the children will need surgery in June out of town and she will need help then as well. The child's medical card will reimburse for transportation, but she will need to have gas to get there to and back.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

She and her five children recently relocated due to the violence between the mother and father. The mother lost her food stamps last month for her and her five girls due to the father claiming the girls to get his own food stamps. The mother had to provide proof she has custody of the children, and not the father. She works as a bus driver. The mother reports that she decided to ensure her children were fed so she can’t pay rent this month. She will be getting her food stamps back and will be able to catch up. The mother reports that every 4 days the fee goes up $150. She has been given a notice to evict if she does not pay. Her and the children have no place to go if they lose the home.
