Help Support a Youth Aging Out

$150.00 still needed

Request: #242244 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Grand Rapids • State: Michigan • Zip Code: 49508 • County: Kent • Submitted By: Wellspring Lutheran Services

Story

1 Child

This youth is 16 years old who was recently discharged from a residential center and is now looking for independent living placement as a form of permanency to eventually be able to live independently within the community. This youth is looking for a phone to stay connected with his adoptive and biological family, his friends, and professional supports. The phone the youth currently has does not have service and is unable to maintain regular communication with them. The youth would benefit from having a phone to stay connected with his supports, especially as he approaches permanency through an independent living program. This youth has a presence online through social media and has friends across the United States, having additional forms of communication will allow the youth to maintain regular contact outside of social media platforms.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

A father recently reunified with his 3 children. Due to employment changes, the father is struggling financially due to the time in between paychecks. Because of this, the father got behind on rent and was locked out of his home and is unable to obtain his or his children's belongings. While the father works to pay off the back rent he owes to the complex, the children are in need of beds and clothing to prevent them returning to foster care. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

CASA has a case with a 6-year-old girl who was removed from her father after he was found to be using substances and heavily neglecting the child. She was living with bedbugs, many mice, few clothes and little food. She is now placed with a family relative, who is lower income and does not have expendable income. The child has asked to go to the Butterfly Pavilion and the Georgetown Railroad Loop, but this cost is not manageable. CASA is asking for assistance with this want (not a need) by someone providing a Visa gift card near the amount of $215, which can offset the tickets for the child and adults in the household to visit these places. Thank you!

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Two children are placed in Trial Reunification with their mother. They are doing incredible in her home and thriving. She has worked very hard to get them home and continues to work on keeping them home with her. She has struggled with bills recently due to a family member unexpectedly moving out of the home. This left her covering all expenses on her own. She has requested more shifts at work but was told not at this time, and is currently looking into cheaper homes as well. We are requesting assistance with overdue rent and utilities. Her overdue rent is $1,185.00 and her overdue electric bill is $309.56. We understand that is a large sum, any assistance towards that total is appreciated.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
