Request: #230719 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Visalia • State: California • Zip Code: 93291 • County: Tulare • Submitted By: Tulare County HHSA

Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

An 11-year-old male child is currently placed with his maternal grandmother. He is experiencing difficulty staying awake at school, which has been attributed to staying up late and using electronic devices at night. Although the maternal grandmother attempts to hide the electronics, it appears the child accesses them after she has gone to sleep.

The school has expressed concern, noting that the child often arrives extremely tired and, on several occasions, has fallen asleep in class and could not be awakened.

The maternal grandmother has requested support in obtaining a lockbox to securely store the electronics at night. This measure is intended to support the child’s academic performance and help maintain the stability of his current placement.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

In our program we provide a snack each day that our children come to our Summer Kid's Club. These children are in our care during many hours that they would be left unattended and many only eating once per day. We provide lunch and snack. We also bridge the learning gap that happens to many during the summer. Keeping their little bellies full helps to open their minds to instruction and care. We prefer a fruit or veggie along with something like gold fish or peanut butter crackers.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

We are logging this request on behalf a the DCS caseworker who is on the road back to the office.

Three siblings have had an extremely difficult time in and out of foster care. Most recently they were removed from their current foster home at no fault of their own. Their courageous aunt and uncle, who have already five kids, are opening up their home for a kinship placement.

A bunkbed and two twin beds are needed to rearrange current sleeping arrangement and accommodate the new new children. There are two tween girls, a teen girl and a teen boy. This family had no notice a the kids came without any of their personal belongings. We are asking for a clothing allowance and groceries to help with the transition.

Any support for this courageous family is greatly appreciated.
