We have two Children placed with one of their teachers in Marble Hill. The teacher is a single mom and low on funds. She has only had the two kids for a short time and has not received any kind of payments yet to help with the kids kids expenses. Both kids needed jerseys for basketball and I had not had a chance to put in a care portal request yet. She went ahead and paid $66 of her own money to get the kids what they needed. I'm requesting help getting her paid back for this purchase. Thank you!

The mother was staying at FCC and is now staying in an apartment in Cape Girardeau, MO, with a friend. The mother has a history of mental illness and substance abuse. The child tested positive for opiates at birth but, was believed to be from the epidural that the mother received. The mother has agreed to do a random drug screen. The mother is put on the color system, for at least the next three months. When the mother's color is called, the mother has to go to ebo labs and test. The mother is on SSI and food stamps. The mother does not have transportation or any additional financial help. The mother is requesting cap coupons to be able to get to the lab for testing, which can be as often as 4 times a month or more.
If the mother is able to drug screen and the drug screen continues to be negative, it would show that the mother is complying with CD recommendations and working toward case being closed successfully.

Older youth has just moved out on their own for the first time. There is no washer or dryer in the home and it is located outside of town making it more difficult to get laundry completed.

LIFT has a couple volunteers who speak some Spanish if that’s helpful, and we can meet the family at a store to purchase $100 of groceries or the caseworker/family can send us a list of items to pick up and we’ll deliver to the family.

A dad is in need of assistance to pay his phone bill. He is currently unemployed, and he is unable to pay his phone bill to keep in contact with me, his children, and resources within the community that are assisting him to find housing.
