Margaret is a single mother of 5. She has recently moved into a new place and started a new job. While she is making steps to create a stable home for herself and her children, she is not able to afford a bed at this time for herself nor her other children. At this time she is in need of a full/queen bed for herself and a toddler bed. I know that if she can receive assistance with these items she would be grateful, and it will assist her in getting a step closer to stability.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A 17-year-old foster youth, a recent immigrant and primarily Spanish-speaking, has found comfort and joy in reading as she adjusts to a new country and language. Her favorite hobby is reading young adult fiction—especially in Spanish, which helps her feel connected to her roots while continuing to grow.

She is hoping to receive a Kindle and an Amazon gift card so she can access books in her native language and continue exploring stories that inspire and empower her.

This small gesture would mean so much to her, offering both comfort and a creative outlet as she builds a new life here. Thank you for considering this heartfelt request.

I have attached a kindle. It does not have to be this exact one. The gift card is to buy books on the kindle. We are asking for $50 but anything would be appreciated.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We have been connected to a family who is fostering through DHHS. This foster family has placement of 3 little children (ages from 4-8) that they are in the process of adopting. They had their washing machine and air conditioning break down in the same week and only had the funds to replace one, so they prioritized the air conditioning for the summer heat wave we had this past week. The family had a high capacity 5.3 cu-ft top-load washing machine to be able to meet with laundry demands of their family and would like their replacement to have a similar capacity and similarly top-loading. The youngest child has some higher needs and frequently wets the bed which requires regular use of a washing machine for larger bedding items. The family consulted a technician who reported the costs of the repair for the washing machine would be at least $800 and the technician recommended buying a new one over paying for repairs. The listed cost is for a 5.3 cu-ft top-load with delivery from Lowe's.
