Request: #239510 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Independence • State: Missouri • Zip Code: 64056 • County: Jackson • Submitted By: MO- DSS

Story

•
1 Child

Good afternoon. I am requesting community assistance to help a older youth on my caseload with paying her home's utility bills. The youth in question is 18 and is in State's Custody as a foster youth. She was living with her uncle in an apartment in Independence, MO but unfortunately, her uncle recently died leaving her with no money or resources. My youth was on the lease with her uncle and has to take over the utility bills and rent. She is currently only working part time minimum wage and does not have a permit or driver's license. She has very little money saved and has even less family support. We are requesting $200 either cash/check to help her with paying for next month's utility bills to get her through the next month until more services can be put in place to further support her in this time of need. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We have three girls ( 11,9,6) who have been without proper beds for some time, using broken ones that no longer provide comfort. A new bed would give them a safe, restful place to sleep and help them feel supported, cared for, and at peace in their own space.

We are grateful for our community and the care and coffee initiative.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This is a request from RestoreOKC for a teenager who is in high need of wrestling shoes. He has been in the wrestling program for a few years, and the current condition of his shoes are not safe to use. This student spends his time with his wrestling team to avoid the negative influences of the neighborhood peer pressure. He has worked very hard in this sport, and the opportunity to have new Wrestling shoes would help increase his athleticism along with the added confidence and comfort they would bring. Shoe size is a men's 10 1/2. Anything would be appreciated, thank you for your time.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A family with two children recently took in two dogs from their sister. The dogs almost had their sister evicted from her apartment, and now they are faced a similar dilemma. If they don't find a home for the dogs, they could be evicted. The family is looking for a home for the two dogs. They searched rescue sites and no kill shelters but hasn't received any help or support. Please help support this family by either taking in the dogs or by spreading the word.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Hello! Church, we have an opportunity to come alongside a single mom who is a member at Wildwood & help support her as she cares for the older bio siblings (brothers ages 9 & 12) of her adopted son. The brothers are still in foster care and need care for a period of 10 days in July. To say yes, the single mom needs childcare for the boys while she is at work. There are openings at a local day camp for both boys. The cost for 7 days of camp for both boys is $700. Please keep this family in your prayers - pray specifically for the time the three brothers will have together. If you feel led, please consider giving financially so that we can help support this family, allowing all three siblings to have 10 days together this summer. There are two ways to give financially:

  1. Financial contributions can be made to Wildwood's CarePortal Fund by clicking on this link and selecting the green button that says "Give to our CarePortal Fund." Go To Link
  2. You can contribute online at Wildwood's giving page and in the memo line put "Adoptive & Foster Care Ministry": Go To Link

Please reach out to Naomi at ******@email.com with any questions. Thank you for your support of the Adoptive & Foster Care community at Wildwood!

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to serve two families in our community. While our assistance was very much appreciated, it does not alleviate the on-going need for these families. Both families have young children who are home during the summer months. To ensure that they have access to hot meals during the summer while they are out of school, Heartland is initiating a request to provide food gift cards to each family throughout the duration of the summer.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his three children and could use some clothing items for them. He is in need of a few shirts, a few pairs of shorts, a pair of pajamas, a few pairs of socks and underwear, and a pair of shoes for his 5-year-old daughter (clothing size 5-6, shoe size 11-13), 7-year-old daughter (clothing size 8-10, underwear size 10-12, shoe size 12-13), and 10-year-old son (clothing size 14, shoe size 5). Secondhand clothing in good condition is fine. It would be a blessing for them to have these items by July 11.
