Story
Grandparents took placement of their 1 year old grandchild. The grandparents have a disconnect notice of $159.81 for their water due to expending childcare funds unexpectedly that caused them to get behind on their utility bills. A plan has been made for the childcare cost on-going that will prevent them from getting behind like this on their utilities again, but at this time, they are still at risk of their water being shut off. They were able to put some money of their own towards their utility bills this month but it wasn't enough to cover the full bill. Meeting this need will allow the family to meet the basic needs of the child for food & bathing as well as reduce the amount of trauma the child may experience if they were to be transitioned to strangers in foster care should they not be able to meet the basic needs of the child.
