Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

$550.00 still needed

Request: #241263 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Salem • State: Virginia • Zip Code: 24153 • County: Roanoke • Submitted By: Roanoke County Dept. of Social Services

Story

2 Children

A loving family placement is caring for two young children — one with autism and one without. The children are safe, supported, and deeply loved, but they are missing out on one important thing: a place to play.

Due to sensory sensitivities, the child with autism cannot tolerate loud noises or crowded spaces, which makes visits to public parks overwhelming and distressing. As a result, both children miss out on vital playtime, movement, and the simple joy of being kids outdoors.

This family is in need of a swing set or backyard playset to create a safe, quiet space where both children can play, stay active, and just be kids. It can be used or brand new.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

Hi all! We currently have a foster family that supports mainly older youths in care who are in need of some dressers to replace the ones they currently have that are falling apart. These can be new or used, and we do not have any preferences on size or brand. These will be used to help store current and future foster children's clothing and personal items so that each child has an area to call their own. I have added a few different links below to some options on Amazon, but if you have any that are used and you are willing to donate, please reach out and we will schedule a time for pick up! Thanks so much!

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

The child is at high risk of being placed in custody. The caregiver is trying to provide the child with therapeutic services to address violent, destructive behaviors. The caregiver has reported a financial need for bus passes for herself and the child so they may take the bus to therapeutic services. The cost is an estimate for the two full calendar month local bus tickets. The passes will be utilized to attend therapeutic sessions to address the conflict in order to keep the child in the home.
