Former foster parents already raising multiple special needs children have opened up their home again to take in a family members infant daughter. They were able to accept placement but are in need of many baby supplies. This large family has struggled to find housing to fit their family size and so the larger baby items that are needed need to be more compact than the standard size if possible. These relatives need a compact bassinet or mini-crib, Dr. Brown bottles, receiving and baby blankets, snuggle/swaddle wraps, socks, wipes, compact foldable swing, baby bathtub, pacifiers, Enfamil yellow or blue can formula, stroller (not as urgent or immediate a need). Additionally, this little girl was prenatally exposed and so the wraps, swing and specific bottles would be so helpful and soothing.

A youth I am working with is applying for jobs. He does not have a car or driver's permit at this time. When talking about how he would physically get to his job, he said he planned to use his first paycheck to buy himself a bike. I asked him if I could use CarePortal to request a bike from the community, he said he would think about it. He finally agreed to allow me to make this request! The bike that he is interested in are linked here: Go To Link Go To Link

The youth is 15 years old and average height (under 6 foot tall). He said that he would be so grateful for any bike, even if it is not the ones linked. Thank you!

April showers bring May flowers! We’re sowing seeds of hope within the foster care community, connecting with kind and compassionate individuals to help us find safe and affordable housing for Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy. We’re praying for a harvest soon, as they must be fully moved out of their home by the end of June. Kennedy is preparing to graduate from high school in just a few weeks and is stepping into the next chapter of adulthood. Cameron has been thriving in New York; he's already received a glowing letter of praise from a client for being so helpful! Sherry recently started a new job assisting a senior during the day, and Kaya has been a big help in organizing, packing, and preparing for the upcoming move. If you know of anyone who might have a room available for the girls or for Sherry, please reach out. As always, we are deeply grateful for your continued support each month. Please select “Fund” when donating.

This request is for a Summit family in need of some assistance. A single mom with 5 kids is moving into a new home. The purchase of the home along with expensive closing costs have made furnishing the home extremely difficult. In addition to the needs list, they could use bedding for each bed. Also, regarding the kitchen table, a rectangle table with 6 chairs would work best for this family. The will be ready to receive these items on or after May 10th. Thank you in advance for your help!
