Story

2 Children 1 Adult

This request is for a mother and her two children ages 1 and 2. I am connected with this family and have identified the mom is in need of obtaining both child's birth certificates to apply for housing so they can get a place to live as soon as possible. The mother is a victim of domestic violence that has been a housewife and does not have job experience, which we are also working on. She and the children have moved to Lubbock from a different area, and she was unable to grab the children's birth certificates. The father will not provide them to her. The mother and her children are currently staying with a relative that needs to be moved out by Monday, 7/14/2025. Thank you for your support and for your consideration in meeting this need.

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!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Please consider helping this single mother and her child if a secondhand, full-sized fridge is available to you! This small family has been struggling due to not having transportation and only having a dorm sized or mini refrigerator. During this heat wave it can be quite exhausting to go back and forth to the store to get more ingredients. While DCF is providing bus passes and other needs for this family, as well as the mother having other supports from the local/state government, any other supports for this local family are more than welcome in the near future! Secondhand items are most welcome!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

There is a kiddo in the hospital who is autistic receiving critical medical treatment at Wesley. Family has done a lot of work and has worked with all of their supports and services to do the best that they can. Family does not have transportation to get to the hospital each day as it is in Wichita, so hoping to cover a few nights in a hotel for them so that they can be at the hospital with kiddo. Kiddo is going to remain in the hospital for several more days and should be ready to go on Tuesday of next week. It would be greatly appreciated any help to cover the hotel stay would be amazing!

Candlewood Suits Wichita East by IHG is the hotel that we had looked up and appears to be around $71 a night. We used this hotel and this price to determine the today amount that may be needed. But in no way does it have to be this hotel.

Thank you so much for all that you do!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A generous family of five recently opened their home to a sibling set of four so the children could remain together during an incredibly difficult time. They’ve now been caring for all nine family members for nearly a month. While they’re doing an amazing job creating stability and love for these children, they’re struggling to keep up with the increased grocery needs. They could really use support with breakfast items, snacks, and other everyday essentials. If you feel compelled to help, there are a few ways to make a meaningful difference—sending a Walmart gift card, arranging a Walmart delivery, or dropping off groceries directly at their home. We’re also open to creative ideas or any other forms of support you may be able to offer.

She would benefit from the funding of a crib with mattress, and a car seat/stroller combo set to ensure the safety and comfort of her baby.
