Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

The Children's Division has thoughtfully planned for the safety of children to be with their loving grandfather. Despite facing financial limitations, he is wholeheartedly dedicated to providing for his two grandchildren and ensuring they have access to education. Granddad is seeking support with fuel costs to transport the children to and from school and their extracurricular activities—responsibilities he has embraced to keep them out of foster care. He expresses that, while he is not accustomed to these additional expenses, having his grandchildren in his home brings him joy, vitality, and a sense of purpose. The children have also settled in beautifully with him. The family is needing a $50 gas card from quick trip. We sincerely appreciate your support in helping to keep these precious children with their family. Thank you!

They moved from an apartment which had a washer and dryer and now they need to provide for their own. The father is looking for work and does odd jobs to help pay for rent, bills, food, clothing, etc. A dryer will help mom take care of her kids so that they will be able to attend school and help their hygiene. Thank you for your help.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single mother of 5 children missed quite some time from work due to unforeseen behavior issues with her 7-year-old son, who has since been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. Due to these conditions, her son was not able to stay in school full days and she had to stop working for seven months until she was able to get him approved through his insurance for an in school one-on-one counselor, a smaller classroom setting and also a 504/IEP plan. Now that he has those, she has been able to get another job but won’t get paid until June 30th. She has fallen behind on her rent and several other bills. I am requesting help with the following bills: rent for May $833, she has worked out a payment plan with her landlord for the remaining balance if she can get May’s rent paid; light bill $274 and that is with an approval for cooling assistance from social services which starts on 6/15, her disconnect is for 6/16; water bill $54.37 which also has a disconnect for 6/16. I am also requesting assistance with food and gas money. Mom reached out to her social worker about all these requests, but worker was not able to process her snap application in time for her to receive benefits for June, so she won’t receive any snap benefits until July 4. She also needs money for gas to get to her job.
