Story

•
1 Child

LA FIRES; Our youth lost most of her belongings in one of the LA fires in January 2025. She has been in our system since she was approximately 4 years old. She was removed from her biological mother and then was adopted when she was 6 years old. Over a year ago, the youth displayed severe mental health issues and her adopted mother relinquished custody of her as well. She has been in multiple placements due to her mental health issues but SHE HAS STILL MANAGED TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. She is very persistent and calls the CSW every day to ask what more the Department can do. She was given Court approval to remain with a NRFEM, whose RFA home assessment is currently pending and is not receiving any assistance from the county. The youth is in need of hygiene & hair care products, feminine products, clothes (plus size) and shoes.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A student at school where I work shared with me yesterday and mother confirmed when I called that both the electricity and gas have been shut off at their apartment for failure to pay the utility bills. Mother works 5 days a week- 12 hours a day from 3 a.m. until 4 p.m. including travel time. She is a single mother and has 4 children. Neither of the two fathers of her children provide any type of child support. One father lives in Kansas and is an active alcoholic. Their rent is $1500 a month.
The student at my school had cancer as a child and wears a prosthetic eye due to the cancer he has. He also is on the Autism Spectrum and is considered a student with a disability. He tends to wear the same clothing each day and struggles greatly with managing his anger. Mother plans on paying the light bill as it is low enough where she can pay if off but the gas bill has gotten so high and she is unable to pay it. It is estimated to be $900. She is undocumented so we are uncertain as to which utility billing relief programs she may be eligible for. She receives a 30 minute lunch break each day so I don't know how she would even have time to apply for these programs given her working hours are mostly business hours.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A hard working single mom of 4 children (age ranges between one and eleven) from the Goddard area has reached out for help. She works with foster children and cleans houses for income but stated that her work has slowed down this past month and she was unable to pay her electric bill. Initially she thought the company was going to work with her on lowering her payments but unfortunately the company is unable to accommodate. Her electricity is scheduled to be turned off on 6/5/25 if she is unable to pay the $347.00. Would anyone be willing to help this family?
