Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

$1,000.00 still needed

Request: #240976 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Columbus • State: Ohio • Zip Code: 43213 • County: Franklin • Submitted By: OhioKAN

Story

2 Children 2 Adults

A devoted and loving grandmother—now the legal custodian of her two granddaughters, ages 9 and 5—is in need of support covering an unexpected dental expense. She recently chipped a tooth while eating, and after visiting the dentist, she was informed that she needs a partial and a root canal. The estimated out-of-pocket cost for the procedure is approximately $1,000.

Although the caregiver is employed, her dental insurance covers only a small portion of the needed work. On top of that, she has just secured legal custody of her granddaughters and is in the process of applying for Medicaid. However, if she is found over the income limit, she will need to add the children to her employer-medical plan, significantly reducing her take-home pay.

She is actively working with her OhioKAN Navigator to explore available community resources for financial assistance. While some benefits applications have been submitted—including the Child Only–Ohio Works First program and the Kinship Permanency Incentive Program—these programs may take time and may not fully cover the current need.

The family would be deeply grateful for any support offered. The caregiver is happy to provide contact information for the dental clinic if this request is accepted. Thank you for your generosity and for helping support this dedicated caregiver and her grandchildren.

Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

This family is a very heroic family. The mother is a mother of 5 children and had been making ends meet and struggling for a great while. She heroically chose life for her last child un great duress. She has great faith and dreams of giving back . She was at the point of not being able to believe in herself and the plan God had for her when she met us. This is quote from a message "God always takes care of his people and now it’s my turn to be an example of Gods word. I plan to make a difference in this world and be who God has called me to be. So many people need to hear my voice because so many people are ready to give up like I was. " It would be a blessing if this family could be provided for. Their biggest need is the twin beds (2) for 2 of the children - I hoped that the table and 7 chairs might fit in because then they could all eat at the same table. If possible there is a great way for her to get her kids out and about in a wagon stroller - Go To Link Thank you for considering this family at this time. Sr Magdalene

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A teenage boy connected to our program is hoping to attend Pine Haven Christian Assembly’s youth camp this summer — and we’re looking for someone to help make that possible. His mom, who is part of our reentry program, was recently reunified with him after a long separation. This new season has been full of hope and healing. She is encouraging him to attend camp to build friendships, grow socially, and most importantly, learn more about Christ in a safe and uplifting environment. Camp costs are currently out of reach for this family, but we believe this experience could be both life-giving and life-changing for this young man. Would you consider sponsoring all or part of his camp fees? Every gift helps move him one step closer to an unforgettable, faith-filled summer. Thank you for investing in restoration and the next generation!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A kind young woman has recently taken in two siblings into her home. She is doing the best to provide for their needs as they came into her home with very few personal items. In addition to the siblings she has taken in, she has three of her own children that she is caring for. To help accommodate the space and all of the children, she is requesting help in obtaining beds for the sweet kids. The baby is currently sleeping in a pack-and-play. She would appreciate any help in getting him a crib for a more permanent and safe sleeping arrangement. For the other sweet kiddos, the caregiver was requesting a twin-over-twin bunk bed with a pull-out trundle. This will ensure that each of the kids have their own beds to sleep in comfortably!

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A blessed opportunity to help a young, Christian family make it through a very difficult time in the heat of summer. A mother and father trying to secure a roof over their young children and feed their family. Tragically, the mother just lost her baby during delivery; father had to take time off from work to take care of her. He is back working but they are behind a few paychecks.

They need help to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks while they save money to rent an apartment (the apartment isn't ready yet). They could also use help with essentials and food.

If we can help them now, it will stabilize their income and resources for the future.
