Story
The children have been involved with the department since the end of 2024. The children were initially placed in foster care while the department completed the home study for the caregiver. The caregiver has not started receiving funding and is working multiple jobs to meet the needs of the children. This is a big adjustment for the caregiver who has not had children in her home in quite some time and for the children who verbalize that they miss their mother often. The caregiver is active towards providing stability for the children in addition to supporting their familial connections. The caregiver has already explored some community resources to assist with electric assistance, however resources are limited. The caregiver needs electric bill payment assistance in the amount of $603.43.
When the request is met, the caregiver will be able to continue providing for the children’s basic needs.
