A 16 year old male is involved with the Children's Division due to severe substance abuse by his parent. The young man has experienced one trauma after another. He is currently living with a relative and sleeping on a twin bed that his feet hang off of because he is a tall young man. The family is asking for a complete queen bed so he will be more comfortable.

We have a caregiver that has taken in 2 non-rrelatied children. She is struggling financially. Our program will be making efforts to license her as a foster parent so she will have ongoing financial support available in about 60 days.

This caregiver is in need of clothes and underwear for a boy size 8 and a pair of shoes size one and size 4 for a 3 year old girl with size 9 shoes. She also said that the children need toiletries/hygiene supplies such as toothpaste and toothbrushes due to some dental issues. She is in need of a dresser and car seat for the little girl as well. In addition, she states that she is having some challenges with having enough food for the family as two additional kids have been added to the home. She is ineligible for SNAP benefits due to her income, but it is still a financial hardship for her. She is requesting assistance to help her to meet the needs of the kids in her care.

This is a second request on behalf of a young adult in our program who is also a former foster youth. Nearly two years ago, she took custody of her sister’s baby directly from the hospital. Just a few days ago, her sister gave birth again—and she now has custody of that newborn as well.

We submitted an emergency request a couple of weeks ago to ensure she had a car seat to bring the new baby home safely. Now that she has the baby with her, she’s been able to reflect on additional needs and has requested a stroller. This would be especially helpful, as she does not have a vehicle and relies on walking and public transportation to get around.

Additionally, she was recently involved in a car accident, which has prevented her from working and created further financial strain. Any support in helping her meet this immediate need would be greatly appreciated.

They moved from an apartment which had a washer and dryer and now they need to provide for their own. The father is looking for work and does odd jobs to help pay for rent, bills, food, clothing, etc. A dryer will help mom take care of her kids so that they will be able to attend school and help their hygiene. Thank you for your help.

A single mother of 5 children missed quite some time from work due to unforeseen behavior issues with her 7-year-old son, who has since been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. Due to these conditions, her son was not able to stay in school full days and she had to stop working for seven months until she was able to get him approved through his insurance for an in school one-on-one counselor, a smaller classroom setting and also a 504/IEP plan. Now that he has those, she has been able to get another job but won’t get paid until June 30th. She has fallen behind on her rent and several other bills. I am requesting help with the following bills: rent for May $833, she has worked out a payment plan with her landlord for the remaining balance if she can get May’s rent paid; light bill $274 and that is with an approval for cooling assistance from social services which starts on 6/15, her disconnect is for 6/16; water bill $54.37 which also has a disconnect for 6/16. I am also requesting assistance with food and gas money. Mom reached out to her social worker about all these requests, but worker was not able to process her snap application in time for her to receive benefits for June, so she won’t receive any snap benefits until July 4. She also needs money for gas to get to her job.
