Story
DCS has been involved with this family several times due to struggles with mental health and financial means of the family. Mother is a single parent who lacks supports that can help assist her financially. She has 3 young children, only one being school aged, and is not employed while trying to maintain the family. DCS is requesting assistance in paying for an IU Summer Reading Program that will provide virtual support for the oldest child in helping her with reading, pronunciation, and comprehension. This child is in Kindergarten and going into first, the school recommended this program to help her stay at grade level moving into the next grade. This program will provide the child with books as additional support. This program does not offer a scholarship, and the total cost is $320.73. DCS is needing full payment if possible but partial payment would be appreciated as well.
