Foster Focus

We have a young man that has been through a lot in the past two years he has been in care. He has made some poor choices and he's made some wonderful choices along the way. Right now he has decided that once he ages out, he would like to join the military and he feels that the best path for him from here to there is to attend Thunderbird Academy. He impressed everyone at his interview and has been accepted for admission and he will begin attending on July 20. Thunderbird has provided us with an extensive and extremely specific list of clothing items and supplies that he will need to bring with him. Any help that can be provided in obtaining these items for him would be incredibly appreciated. I can provide details to anyone interested. Thank you so much!

The sweetest, happiest two year old in the world is being raised by her grandmother that absolutely adores her. Grandma has changed her whole life around to be able to devote 100% of her time and attention to her granddaughter and it shows in the way this little girl absolutely shines. This little family makes due with what they have as much as possible but sometimes, money falls just a bit short. Grandma could really use some help with diapers this month. Huggies little movers size 6 seem to be the ones that work the best for her and don't irritate her skin. If anyone can help with this need, it would be a huge blessing. Thank you!

A single mother of three who also has three foster children in her care needs a new twin mattress for one of her foster children. The current mattress is no longer useable as the child has had regression in bed-wetting. This foster mother has spent time cleaning the bedding, the mattress, and all the areas of the bedroom to keep the room clean and fresh-smelling. Please help this mother by giving the home a new mattress for their little guy. It would also be helpful if the mattress came with a good mattress cover to secure its usability for years to come.

Hello, please help a mother with transportation. This mother is struggling to pay for bus fares due to her current lack of employment. She does her best to make it to every visit and appointment no matter what time, or how difficult it is for her to make it. This bus pass would help make sure she can make it to visitation, parenting classes, therapy sessions, drug tests, and doctors' appointments. Thank you so much for your generosity and help in bringing this parent closer to reunification.
