M and B are currently living in an office setting. The Department is looking for placement for these siblings. Both are physically and developmentally delayed, and we are hoping to get them some art supplies to encourage their creativity and help them stay regulated while in an office setting and beyond. We are looking for paper, construction paper, acrylic paints, craft paints, brushes, glue, markers, crayons/colored pencils and other child safe/washable craft supplies. The children are ages 6 and 8. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

A resilient young woman in foster care made the brave decision not to return to her abusive mother and stepfather. In her current placement, she brought up her grades, built a plan for her future, and found a lifelong family. Now, she’s moving into her own place through a Transitional Housing Program (THP), having been selected over 25 other applicants.

Because her placement was in a small town with no job opportunities, she wasn’t able to save money and still needs help securing a few basic necessities - bedding, silverware and knife set. She’ll also be starting college soon and is in need of a laptop to complete her schoolwork, apply for jobs, and build her independence.

This young woman has done everything right—she’s worked hard, stayed focused, and created a future she can be proud of. A little support right now could make all the difference in helping her begin this next chapter with confidence, dignity, and the tools she needs to succeed.

Thank you for considering this request.

I have attached links for the needed items. Laptop does not have to be the linked one but something similar.

Ages of the children range from 8 to 17. Any help would be really appreciated! Either an outright purchase by a donor of any/all listed items or a gift card would be wonderful. Thank you!

A single mom of two lost her job in December. She has recently taken placement of her niece. She is needing help paying her rent this month. She has a new job but is trying catch up financially.

I am working with a awesome, hard working Single mom that does amazing work helping others in the community is now facing some hardships. She and her family attended, participated wholeheartedly and graduated from our 14-week Strengthening Family Program and has been an outspoken advocate for family wellness. She was recently put in a very hard situation and received news that her landlord is selling her home expectantly, and she was put in a time crunch and after searching and searching for a new place she found one and has to come up with a deposit of $1000 to hold the unit. After talking with the new homeowner, he stated she could allow her to pay $500 by Monday 6/9/25 and the other $500 by Friday 6/13/25. If you can help, please be a blessing to this mom, please, she has helped so many families in her line of work, and she has just paid her rent where she is currently living and does not have the money for her deposit. If you could please help her so she and her children are not put out on the street, and can move into their new home. Anything you can donate would be a great help. Thank you!

We have a brave mother with young children who is a survivor of recent domestic violence, and we have been supporting this family in their journey toward stability. Unfortunately, the program we had arranged for them is no longer able to accept them. We urgently appeal to the community to help provide temporary housing for this mother and her children for the month, ensuring they have a safe roof over their heads. Meeting this need would not only offer immediate shelter but also give them the essential time to find another suitable program. This mother is currently 8 months pregnant, making it even more critical to secure a safe space for her and her children. Please join us in helping this young mother keep her family together and create a plan for their future.
