Story

7 Children 2 Adults

A family in need of various items. 5 children were displaced from their home and placed with grandparents. The grandparents are in need of a bunk bed. There is also a newborn child is also in need of various help with blankets and other essential items. The grandparents are doing their best to help provide for all 5 children and also having custody of their other 2 grandchildren. Due to the unforeseen placement they need help with this bunk bed to allow room for all 7 children. In order for these children to remain with their grandparents they will need appropriate beds. There is also a 6 year old non-verbal autistic child they is in need of a communication tablet that would help with his speech and communication with his needs. The agency is providing diapers and formula monthly to the family in this time of need to help support. We want these siblings to remain together in a loving safe home with their grandparents. The grandparents have found a van that would better utilize the family and are in need of $600 to secure this van as one of the cars broke down and this would allow the grandparents to travel together in one car.

The parents are in an inpatient treatment to be able to provide a safe and sober life for their children. Any help for this family would be greatly appreciated and the family thanks you in advance.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Mother/Non- Minor Dependent needs Bunk bed set no mattress, Queen size bed with mattress, black microwave, and 6 drawer dresser for kid’s room. Mother has financial issues and is doing the best she can to meet the children's needs. Mother just started working as a janitor, but the job placements are scarce. Mother may work one day for 2 hours, and the next day for 4 hours. Mother doesn’t have a consistent schedule. Although, mother is having that challenge, she is meeting the case plan goals/court orders. Furthermore, mother is committed to maintaining the family together. The main reason I am requesting this need to be fulfilled is to provide a safe environment for the children, DCFS is requesting bunk bed set, queen size bed with mattress, black microwave, and 2 dressers for kid’s room. This need is being requested through Care Portal because the timeframe DCFS takes would be too long as some requests take up to 8— 10 weeks. The estimated cost of the need/s being requested is approximately $1560.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

We have a family desperately in need of assistance with their OGE bill. Foster mom spent a lot of time in the hospital with her daughter and is now playing catch up. Due to the summer months, the bill is high, and the family could use all the assistance possible. This would take such a financial burden off the family as foster mom is a single mom raising 5 kids alone. If you can help this family in ANY amount, please reach out to us. Thank you!
