I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request assistance through the Care Portal for a child in need of support with getting new clothes. The youth in this family is currently outgrowing their clothes and is in need of clothing. Without the ability to pay for new clothes, there is a significant risk that the youth may not be able to get clothes that will fit them appropriately, which could jeopardize their mental health and self-esteem. Our goal is to provide the necessary resources to help this youth maintain int heir current placement and help improve their self-esteem and mental health. A request of a $150 gift card to Walmart or Target is needed.

I am requesting grocery assistance for a family consisting of a mother, her 16-year-old child, and her 10-Month-old grandchild. The mother is currently the sole provider for the household and is working to meet all of the family’s basic needs on her own. Despite her efforts, the family is experiencing difficulty affording enough groceries to ensure everyone has adequate and nutritious food. Providing this support will help stabilize the family’s food situation and promote the children’s overall well-being.

A three year old and nine year old have been placed with their grandmother for the past two years due to domestic violence and parent substance abuse without financial support from either parent. Grandmother quit her job so she could care for the children, which has created some financial hardship for the family. She recently felt comfortable returning to work part time, but the family's finances are still tight. The three year old has outgrown his car seat and is in need of a bigger one he can grow with over the next several years.

An autistic 5 year-old attends a school specifically for special needs children. Flooding happened in the home he lives in, so his mother had to use his tuition money for the plumbers. Mom is fearful he could loose his spot at this school if she can not catch up on the payment. There is a balance due of 281.31. Any help to make this payment would be greatly appreciated.

We are working to preserve an adoptive placement so we can make this a forever home for a 5-year-old boy. The caregiver is a relative to the little boy who she has had in her home while he has been in foster care. She is a single mother of 6 who needs help with furnishing the living room in her residence. She currently has limited furniture and could use the assistance.

A single mom has secured housing mid July. She has 3 young children. She currently is employed and is attending a Bible study regularly. She has mentors set up to walk with her moving forward. She has saved and is 400 short on initial move in expenses.

A Karen family that has been recently able to move into a house now has the fun of doing the yard work. They really could use a lawn mower to help them. if you have a new or a used one that runs well, please consider donating it to them.

Two youths who aged out are in need of storage space as they're in temporary housing with an old foster parent, a queen bed, and an air conditioner.
