Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The child (7 years old) is currently placed with her paternal grandmother. The child was placed with the grandmother with no clothing that fit and has needed a new wardrobe for clothing. The grandmother receives a monthly stipend but it was not enough for new underwear, socks and shoes which the youth needed. A gift card to Walmart or another clothing store would help offset the budget that the family is currently working from. Anything really would be helpful to support the family! Thank you!

This request is to help fund sending 2 youth to Oklahoma to visit with their aunt and uncle for the last 2 weeks of summer before school starts back. The current cost of the round-trip tickets are $543.97 per ticket. Helping with this will allow for the children to have a continued bond with their biological family while their professional team works on a path towards permanency.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The father has been providing for his children solely with no help other than a friend who has moved in. A couple of weeks ago, relatives of the father came into the home and took his fridge in which the father is trying to get another refrigerator for the household while trying to make sure and stay on top of everything else. The youngest child also has problems with wetting the bed, which the father has tried to clean the mattress but is unable to get the smell out of the mattress. The father is trying to get a new mattress but has not been able to at this time.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

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 summer 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, Ross, or Marshall's is needed.
