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.

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 two-parent family is currently caring for an 18-month-old girl but are facing significant financial challenges and a family emergency. Due to these difficulties, they are struggling to meet her basic needs and are seeking temporary support while they look for family members to care for her. Their goal is to avoid foster care and keep her within the family.

They urgently need clothing for an 18-month-old girl, size 5 Pampers diapers (the only brand she can tolerate due to sensitive skin), and baby wipes of any kind. Any assistance provided will help this family provide comfort to this child during a difficult time.

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.

A family that received a crib for a kinship placement could use a kitchen table, chairs, and a couch. This will help the family with ongoing needs.

A child identified by a social worker is in need of a dresser.
