Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

$2,500.00 still needed

Request: #235354 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Akron • State: Ohio • Zip Code: 44307 • County: Summit • Submitted By: Summit County Children Services

Story

1 Child 1 Adult

This request was entered into the portal originally in March '25. However, it was closed due to no responses. The need has not been met, and assistance with the flooring is still needed.

This request is related to a child who is paralyzed and wheel chair dependent. The condition of the flooring of the home is poor; the carpet is old and stretched out, leaving rolls on the floor. This makes it extremely difficult for the child to move around in the home. By having assistance with the flooring being replaced, this will make the home safer for the child and allow them to be more independent. The caregiver was quoted $5,374.35 in materials and labor. The caregiver is asking for assistance as they are concerned about the child's safety in their home without the repairs completed and due to the costs associated. Due to the child's high medical needs, obtaining a placement that was able to assist the child was difficult. This child was not always wheel chair dependent and is the result of an accident. The labor was quoted at approximately $2,500.00. If someone would be able to assist with the labor portion, that would cut the cost in half. The caregiver does not have to go through the company with the quote provided, but wanted to get an idea of how much the fixes would cost. If someone would be able to assist with the labor or the materials separately, this would cut the cost in half.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The fictive kin is in urgent need of baby formula for a precious new addition to their family. With five foster children and two biological children already in their loving home, they are dedicated to providing the best care possible. This particular formula is essential for the recently welcomed baby, as the family plans to adopt all the children permanently. However, a single can of this formula comes at a steep price of over $50. Your support in this matter would be immensely appreciated.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
