A loving aunt has been caring for her nephew since his mother passed away in 2018. She only recently made it through the court process to obtain custody and is working tirelessly to ensure her nephew has everything he needs. Her current concern is rent. She is self-employed at a hair salon and has been picking up as many side jobs as possible, but work has been very slow. She has secured a new job but has not started yet and finances are very tight. She was recently given a 3-day notice to vacate and is very concerned about being evicted. Any assistance toward the $1,000 she owes in rent would be greatly appreciated!

There is a teen that was just reunified with his family! Unfortunately, the placement that had him closed and did not provide his belongings and clothes. He is in need of clothes for school. These are his sizes: Waist 30, inseam 32 Neck 12" Mens small shirt Shoe 11

Thank you!!

Single mother of 3 girls, ages 16, 9 and 6 and a 10 year old son in need of school supplies and household items. Mother has sent an Amazon list and the school paperwork listing items that the children must have for school. Mother is grateful for any assistance available. The 16 year old daughter has frequent mental health episodes and is involved with Ohio Rise, Montgomery County Courts and Dayton Children's Hospital. Mother and children are victims of domestic violence, child endangerment and assault. Mother has left to provide a safe environment for her children. She had lost her job and has now been offered employment with a pending start date of 7-28-25 and will be able to support her family. Mother is open to new or used items and the list will be sent if request is accepted.

A connection resource took custody of three children as it was unsafe for them to remain in the care of their parent. The resource is in need of assistance to help treatment their home for bed bugs. The resource stepped up to care for these children on very short notice and has been providing them care for about a year now. This is an unexpected expense that the family is looking for assistance with. The resource estimates that it will cost $1,800 to treatment his home and eradicate the bugs. Any assistance to meet this financial need would be very much appreciated by the family.

Kansas Kids Belong is excited to throw a Back to School Bash for local foster and kinship families! All local foster and kinship families, regardless of their licensing agency, are welcome to come enjoy games, goodies, giveaways and more at this "thank you for what you do" party!

Many back-to-school drives/events focus on the kids, so we want to offer something special for the caregivers at this one! We've made a wishlist of items to create over 200 fun and functional "survival kits" to give to the foster/kinship parents that attend.

Our goal with this event is to tangibly, visibly show these families that they are SEEN, VALUED, and SUPPORTED by their community. So we plan to shout out all of the church teams that pitch in for these gifts at the event so families know who stepped up for them! Thank you in advance!

The wishlist can be found at Go To Link
