3 Children 1 Adult

The stepfather has recently became placement of three children, ages 14F, 11M, and 3F, and is working to provide a stable and nurturing environment for them. However, the family is currently facing a significant hardship as their home stove is no longer functioning, making it extremely difficult to prepare hot, nutritious meals. To support the well-being and daily needs of the children, the family is in urgent need of a new stove. the family is in need of summer clothing for the children. The 14-year-old girl wears a size medium in shirts and size 8 in jeans, while the 11-year-old boy wears a size large in shirts and size 12 in pants. The family is also in need of fans or an air conditioner, as their home lacks proper cooling during the hot summer months. With young children in the household, including a toddler, maintaining a safe and comfortable indoor temperature is critical for their health and well-being. Access to cooling would greatly improve the living conditions in the home and help the children rest, play, and thrive in a stable environment.

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.
