Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

DCS has been invoked since April of 2025. Mother of child is deceased and father has not been in contact with DCS since the opening of this case. The child was previously placed in foster care in Lake County and just recently moved back to Marion County. The previous bed for the placement broke before the child arrived and FCM bought child an air mattress for the time being. Placement needs assistance with a new bed for the child that is more sustainable than an air mattress.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

I have a growing foster family that will be receiving bikes for their older children from Charity Bikes in Brighton. The children did not have bikes prior to entering foster care and do not fit on the ones the foster family has. The foster mother has 2 littles that would need to be in a bike trailer. Charity Bike did not have one available. She is very active and would love to share this experience with all of her adoptive and foster children. I have attached a link below for one from Amazon.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

The client is seeking assistance with her South Central Power bill, which is scheduled for disconnection on June 3, 2025, due to a past-due balance of $349.60. She is able to contribute $100 toward the amount owed.

The client recently experienced significant hardship, including a divorce followed by a car accident that was not her fault. As a result, she was temporarily unable to work and fell behind on her bills. She has since returned to full-time employment and now has a sustainable income.

Given her current circumstances and demonstrated effort toward self-sufficiency, she has been referred to InterFaith for possible assistance.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

There is a Neighbor's Ministry Mom that we have been working with for awhile that is in need of groceries. She experienced the unexpected loss of a child and has been dealing with a huge amount of grief which has been paralyzing at times. She is having trouble with her food stamp benefits and with her daughter out of school now for the summer, is in need of groceries to give them a strong start to the summer while she sorts out her food benefits. I have all of the items in an online cart for Aldi. If someone is interested in sponsoring them, I am happy to pick it up and deliver. Or if you would like to pick up and deliver just let me know :)
