Story
I would like to submit a request to the Care Portal. I know they usually do not grant monetary needs; however, this is a different case. We have two children who were placed in fictive kinship home after being removed from their adoptive father, who was grandfather, when he sexually abused the female child. This family has gone above and beyond to care for the children with very little assistance. The husband and wife are not US citizens and the wife is currently working on getting her citizenship. They were both willing to be fingerprinted and risk possible immigration status deportation to become certified to adopt the children. They reside in their son’s home, who is a US citizen, and there is a swimming pool without a fence that will not pass certification. We reached out to Boost a Family and they are willing to cover half of the cost of the fence, but are requesting that the family pay $900.00. The husband and wife are pastors of a local Christian church and do not have much, we thought maybe we can see if someone were willing to help with the some or all of the cost, paying the pool fence company directly.
