High Urgency Request
Grandmother/mother needs assistance with her rent. On top of her three minor children and her two adult children, has taken in her younger grandsons, one of whom is disabled, which has put a strain on her finances. Grandmother has been a saint to her family and has taken care of them, while also caring for her nieces and nephews, and her terminally ill mother, who lives in Kansas. This money would help her take care of her rent and allow her family to stay in the same home they have for decades.

High Urgency Request
This family of single dad and child have had a difficult financial situation recently and currently have their water turned off. Dad didn't want to ask for help but said, "I really wish we could have the water on so we could have a 10th birthday party for her [my daughter] this week". He's reached out to multiple non-profits for helps but has not had any luck. Paying their water bill would help this child have a birthday party next week as well as get the family's normal needs for hygiene and for cooking.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Normal Request
KCMO Angels just received a referral for a biological mother who has worked so hard to achieve reunification and currently just got her kids back for a trial home visit. She was referred to our Love Box program for being able to use some emotional support as she adjusts to parenting two children with special needs again. She does have some limited family support, however that support has been somewhat exhausted due to the length of the foster care case. She has worked very hard to maintain sobriety and obtain stable housing for this trial home visit with her children to be possible. When completing her intake today to get her matched with a Love Box leader here at KCMO Angels, we just fell in love with her dedication to make reunification work as she is adamant to not lose her children again. We are striving to get her match before her case closes and her children are released from care while she is eligible. When talking with her today and inquiring for any holiday wants, needs so we could bless her in that way while she is on our waiting list, her only request was a Christmas tree with colored lights for her two young children. We are calling on our amazing Careportal community to help make this happen!

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

Normal Request
A family of six, five children, all Hispanic, are in dire need of winter clothing- Gloves and coats. The eldest daughter has no coats that fit her anymore and the younger kids are wearing her old coats, but they don't fit and are torn. Gloves are our top concern because none of the kids nor mom have gloves. None of the kids are in school and we are working on getting them enrolled in a new school because they recently moved. Mom really needs help to manage the needs of all her children and she is struggling to get ready for the winter. She shares a bed with her three daughters and her two sons share a bed, all 6 of them share the same bedroom because the boys attic room is being remodeled and is unsafe for them currently. I have already put in a request for additional bedding supplies and am working to get the boys separated from the girls but am still needing help getting them some clothing. The children all told me individually that they get cold at home and are scared of how cold it is going to get this Winter because they do not have proper winter clothing or gloves. Anything to help these kids get prepared for this winter so they can go back to school in proper clothing would be amazing. These kids all want to be in school and want to be involved in group activities but have no clothing to do so. Giving them clothes would not only boost their confidence but allow them to go outside safely and join groups that will enrich their lives and expand their safety networks.

A dedicated & caring grandmother is in need of assistance with some household bills. The grandmother has taken on the responsibility of taking in her two sweet grandchildren after being placed in foster care over two years ago. The children's biological mother is incarcerated and the children ages two and four have practically been with the grandmother since birth. The grandmother has completed all the steps for guardianship and is awaiting approval. The grandmother is no longer working full time due to caring for her terminally ill husband. Although they are separated, she has taken on the burden of caring for him in his last days because she has such a big heart. With having to reduce hours at her job the grandmother is falling behind with bills temporarily. She is needing help with an electric bill. The grandmother has been stretched very thin lately trying to work, care for the two small children and now her ill husband and could really use a helping hand. If you are able to meet the needs of this family by assisting with household bills, they would be extremely grateful. Thank You.
