Newborn baby boy in need of everything! Mom left a domestic violence situation and had nothing for the baby. Needing to get her the things she needs to care for the baby before they are discharged. She is in need of diapers (newborn), wipes, clothes (newborn she has one outfit), blankets for swaddling, a baby monitor. Help with food for her.

A 13 year old girl (will be 14 on April 2!) finally connecting with a family member willing to provide a home. There is a closed for the child’s clothes, but a dresser would improve her comfort and wliminate a basket for socks, underwear etc.. A chest of drawers would be fine but a longer burrow that could fits along a wall at the foot of her bed would be great! A sturdy dresser is all that is needed. If the finish is well loved, it could be repainted easily by this creative girl. My hope is this kinship placement becomes the long term permanent place for her!

There is a woman who has just taken in her four nieces and nephews. The children were living in Kansas, but are now living in Missouri. Due to the sudden displacement, the aunt does not currently have any beds for the children and is currently working on getting the home better prepared for the additional children. There is a 13 year old boy, a 16 year old girl, a 17 year old boy, and a four year old boy. The family receiving beds would help them with this sudden change and help the aunt with her resources.

a 16 year old boy is placed across the state and is needing personal hygiene items the facility will allow us to order the items and have them delivered to him there!

A 4 year old was placed in a kinship home last month. The child would be considered underdeveloped at this time due to lack of parenting previously. She is still not potty trained and the family would really benefit form some size 4 diapers - either Pampers and Huggies as she has allergies. They could also use a high chair as she has trouble sitting while eating. Placement stated they would like a traditional high chair and not one that hooks to the seat. The child weighs about 28 pounds. They family lives in Maryville and will be in town Wednesday the 23rd so if the items could be dropped off by then, that would be helpful.

Family is in need of financial assistance. Mom has been having severe panic attacks. Dad is employed but had to take FMLA to care for mom and the children. Dad was paid for a few of the days, but most of his time off has been without pay. Dad is also taking online classes. The family is behind on their rent which is $750 a month and also on utilities. Mom has attempted to get assistance for utilities but had a panic attack while waiting and had to leave. Mom has been to the ER and her physician and is in the process of getting a second opinion. She was unable to get an immediate appointment but has one scheduled for next month. The family was homeless 3 1/2 years ago and dad was able to get a job and they were able to rent the home that they are now in.
