14 year old female foster child has been placed with her grandmother. Child has high level of needs - she has battled cancer, leg amputation, and requires many medical appointments. The financial support from the placing state has not yet started - as such, grandmother is in need of groceries and/or food bank delivery.

We are reaching out on behalf of multiple families in urgent need of baby wipes. These families are facing difficult circumstances and are struggling to meet the basic care needs of their young children.

While we currently have diapers available to share, we are completely out of baby wipes. A donation of bulk baby wipes would be incredibly helpful and deeply appreciated by these families.

If you are able to donate wipes or provide a gift card (e.g., to Walmart, Target, or Amazon) to help us purchase them, it would make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and caregivers who are doing their best with very limited resources.

With gratitude,

We have a great aunt fostering her two great nieces at this time. Aunt works very hard to get the girls the services they need and always makes sure ends meet. Recently, Aunt had surgery and has been in recovery and now has unexpectedly taken in her mother who is on hospice. Aunt is in need of assistance with a couple of her utility bills while she is recovering and taking care of her mother plus two girls! If you can help this sweet great aunt in this time of need, please reach out to us.

Fort Zumwalt is in need of gas cards to give out to homeless families that we are working with. They need these to pick up food from resources provided, attend job interviews, seek shelter, doctor appointments, get to work, etc. This is a desperate need since we have no public transportation. We are asking for cards from neighborhood gas stations such as QT, Mobile on the Run, etc. in the amount of $25. Thank you for your consideration!

Please help a kinship family consisting of a grandmother and her great-grandson! The grandmother, who is starting over raising her great-grandson, who is currently four years old. They need school clothing size 5/6T( gently used clothing), Amazon incontinence underwear, and PediaSure milk 24 pack( Vanilla or Strawberry).

Her grandson has an autism diagnosis and experiences sensory issues with bladder sensations, as well as heightened sensitivity to tastes and textures. He currently wears pull-up diapers, but he is discouraged about potty training because he refuses to use them. The grandmother wants to encourage his independence by purchasing washable incontinence underwear, which would also help prevent any potential bullying at school. She is worried that when he starts school in August, he may be teased by other children. Unfortunately, due to her fixed income, she cannot afford this expense out of pocket.

Additionally, she needs PediaSure milk, which is no longer covered by WIC since her grandson has aged out of the program. He will not drink regular milk or any other substitutes because of his sensory sensitivities.

A donation would significantly help this family, as the grandmother struggles to buy these essential items on her limited income. Thank you for considering helping them!

I am requesting funding to help a 14 year old girl attend summer camp. She currently lives with her mother and older brother who is experiencing job and housing insecurity. The older brother is in and out of the home as he deals with staying out of the gang life. Despite all that she is dealing with this young lady continues to maintain her grades in school and a positive outlook on her situation. Attending camp will give this young lady a much needed reprieve from the current home situation and give her the encouragement that she needs to continue building on personal resilience and independence. Thank you for taking the time to consider this request.

Restore has been working with a family of two adults and 3 young children to assist them in getting settled in their new apartment. They lost their housing assistance in KS due to making too much income. They ended up having to move from KS to a cheaper apartment in MO. Both parents work - but with the expense of deposits, the move and cost increase of rent almost doubling, they are struggling to get on their feet. They found a way to make the deposits and initial rent but that really depleted them. This month they have been able to come up with all but $500 to cover the rent and utilities. We would like to help them with the remainder so they do not get behind and incur late fees. Once they get over the hump, they should be able to handle the expenses moving forward. If you would like to assist with any amount, it would be appreciated. This is a family we are walking beside and connecting with frequently hoping to show them support and the love of Christ. Please pray for them as they transition through many changes.

An EP apartment complex that the Wooddale Housing Assistance program partners with is starting a community garden for its residents. From the project leader: "This Saturday morning from 8:30 am to 11:30 or 12pm, we will be pulling weeds and getting the garden ready. After that I will purchase plants, dirt and mulch. Anyone that participates, can reap the benefits of the garden. Please let me know if anyone would like to assist or can even offer advice."
