Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A devoted mother is currently caring for her two teenage sons (ages 15 and 16) and her disabled mother. Recently, her only vehicle broke down, and while she was able to cover the costly car repairs and pay her rent, she is now short on funds to pay her water bill. This hardworking mom is doing all she can to keep her household stable and her family cared for, but she needs a helping hand. We are asking for support to help her cover the balance of her water bill so she and her family can maintain access to clean water during this difficult time. Your generosity will not only strengthen this family, it will make a huge difference and bring much-needed relief to their household.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

A hard working 19-year-old Non-Minor Dependent (NMD) has been employed at the same restaurant for over a year. However, in the last several months, they consistently cut his hours, causing a financial strain. Since then, he has been proactive in his job search to secure a position with more hours, applying at security firms and markets near his house. He attended a job fair recently and completed several applications. His goal is to attend trade school for plumbing. He is studying to get his driver’s license, which he was told he needs to attend the trade school. He has received a debt collection notice after being unaware of an outstanding medical bill from an incident in May 2024, where he went to an urgent care and emergency room while on an out of state trip. After receiving the notice, he called to see if his insurance would cover the expenses but was told that it would not be covered as it was not a life-threatening emergency for which he sought care. This is a responsible young man, and he is very anxious about this debt of $704.99. He is worried it will affect his credit, and his future plans. He cannot afford to pay the bill.
I can provide a copy of the bill and collection notice. Thank you in advance.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

This elderly grandfather is deeply devoted to his grandson, who has intellectual disabilities. The grandson has a pending application for benefits, but it may take some time for them to kick in. He requires significant daily support, which can be challenging for his grandfather to manage alone. Despite these difficulties, this grandfather remains committed to providing his grandson with a good life, and the two rely on each other for survival. They are currently in need of assistance to help cover the costs of food and some utility bills. Any support during this difficult time is deeply appreciated, as they continue to thrive together.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

There is a kiddo in the hospital who is autistic receiving critical medical treatment at Wesley. Family does not have a lot of financial support, and they are hoping to be able to stay in Wichita for a few days so that they are able to be with kiddo while he is in the hospital. They are lacking additional money to be able to afford food while in Wichita as they do not live there and their home is not there. Hoping to be able to help them with a little food while they are there. As of now it seems as though kiddo may be there until early to middle of next week. Family has done a lot of work and has worked with all of their supports and services to do the best that they can.
Thank you for all of your help!
