Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

I am advocating on behalf of a maternal grandmother who stepped in to raise her two grandchildren. She previously received limited support through CarePortal, but upon further engagement, we’ve identified several ongoing crisis needs that are now compromising her stability.This grandmother is widowed and currently raising the children on her own. She works part time and receives a small amount of Social Security income. She does not receive any kinship or foster care assistance. She once relied on the income of her late husband, and now struggles to make ends meet on a very fixed income. Her car is critical for getting her grandchildren to school, medical appointments, and other essential activities. However, she has recently fallen two months behind on her car note and is also struggling to maintain her auto insurance. Without intervention, she is at high risk of repossession, which would disrupt the children’s care and further compound this family’s hardship. seeking assistance to help her catch up on two months of car payments and pay her current auto insurance to keep her vehicle and maintain safe, stable transportation for the children.

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?
