The mother of 15 year old twins died unexpectedly yesterday. The children are staying with maternal grandmother until the Department can come up with a new placement plan for them. The apartment complex they were staying in with their mother is refusing to let them back into the apartment to get any personal belongings. The Department is trying to contact the apartment complex to gain entry, but in the meantime the children have nothing. Requesting a visa card or walmart/target gift card so the children can get hygiene products and basics such as underwear, socks, clean tshirts, etc.

This family in need consists of a mother who has 3 children in foster care (ages 4, 5 and 7). The mother has been working towards reunification with the children. the mother recently moved into a new apartment and is currently unemployed due to a recent car accident. The mother is requesting a few pieces for her apartment since she does not have a way of obtaining them herself. The mother is working on getting the kids home. Mom is requesting a tv stand, kitchen table and chairs, coffee table, curtain rods and curtains (standard sized windows), full-size bed sheets, dresser (for kids), towels, and blankets.

Urgent Need for CASA Volunteers — The Time to Act Is Now! Every day, children enter the child welfare system—alone, scared, and without a voice. These children are navigating some of the most traumatic moments of their lives, and they need someone to stand with them.

Did you know that children with a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) are more likely to find safe, permanent homes—and do better in school and life? CASA Volunteers are not lawyers or social workers; they are everyday people, trained and empowered to advocate for a child’s best interests in court, in school, and in the community.

During Child Abuse Prevention Month in April, Blaine County displayed 46 wooden children—each one representing a local child in need. This powerful visual reminds us that the need is real and urgent.

CASA Volunteers provide stability, hope, and a trusted voice for children who often feel invisible. Right now, in your own community, there are children waiting for someone to show up for them. Will it be you? You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to care. Be the voice. Stand in the gap. Change a child’s story.

To become a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer, you need to be at least 21 years old, fill out the online application, undergo a background check, complete a screening interview and complete the pre-service training program. For more information visit Go To Link.

This request is for a young adult female currently in her junior year of high school, who experiences ongoing financial hardship within her family. She plays a significant role in caring for her younger sister, who has special needs. Despite these responsibilities, she maintains consistent school attendance and holds a part-time job. However, the job is located far from her home and provides limited hours.

She has expressed interest in applying for jobs closer to home that may offer more consistent hours, but she faces transportation challenges. The family car recently broke down, and she currently depends on others outside the home for rides, which has proven unreliable. She is looking for a bicycle or another form of transportation to help her access more stable employment opportunities.

Mother is a single parent with two children. She is currently not employed and resides in the apartment. Mother is needing a help to pay her apartment bills the amount mother provided is $773.79. Mother is also needing bus passes due to her car is broken and she needs transportation to take children to their appointments. Mother plans to pay the last month rent and move in with her mother.

A mom and her infant live in their own apartment through a housing assistance program. Mom currently attends outpatient treatment regularly and is working on finding employment. She is in need of a washer and dryer. Having these things would greatly improve her life as she will not have to try to figure out a way to get a ride to the laundry mat or have the money to wash her clothes. Mom is very quiet and reserved but is so thankful for anything she receives.

This is a single mom who is currently pregnant and due at the beginning of June. She has requested an infant car seat and a stroller. She is moving into a shelter this week. Mom lacks a support system and is trying to rebuild a better life for herself and her child.

I am advocating for a mom of 2 who has had a stroke paralyzing her left side. While ordering a wheelchair for her, we discovered she is sleeping on a mattress on the floor. This mom has had three back surgeries and needs her bed high enough to be comfortably transferred in and out of bed and to be able to rest well. She is very humble and grateful for any help she may receive.
