Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

  1. We are requesting payment for pest control services for a kinship placement . 8 children were removed and placed in kinship care with maternal grandmother. While doing the home visit at grandmother’s home, we noticed she had roaches in her kitchen. Grandmother was asked about the roaches, and she said she had been struggling with the roaches for a while but would treat them. Pest control is needed for the children to remain in the home with maternal grandmother. Grandmother is able and willing to keep all 8 children . The cost for pest control is 352.35. The invoice has been sent to MC Youngblood and she has approved for this to be sent to careportal. The pest control services were completed on 5/28/2025. The bill needs to be paid as soon as possible. Grandmother is working and should be able to pay for future treatments If needed. Since the children were an emergency placement, the pest control services were needed as soon as possible.

The family is motivated to maintain their home environment, but tends to run shortly financially with additional purchases. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and allow this family another avenue of support and the feeling of community. Thank you for considering meeting this need. Your support is greatly appreciated.
