Foster Focus

There is a family that is working with Family Centered Services. The children were out of the home but have returned to the home and the care of the Biological Parent. However, the previous care-taker is refusing to give the mother back the bassinet to the mother. All attempts to get the bassinet back has failed. I'm request a play-pen or baby bassinet for this family.

We are reaching out with heartfelt hope on behalf of one of our clients—a dedicated mother who is working diligently toward reunification with her child. As part of this process, she is required to undergo a parent capacity evaluation. Unfortunately, the cost of this evaluation must be covered by the client, and she lives on a fixed income. This evaluation is a critical step toward rebuilding his family and creating a stable, supportive environment for the child. Your support could make a meaningful difference in the family's journey—bringing them one step closer to healing and reunification. We kindly ask for your help in covering the cost of this essential service. Your compassion and generosity can provide hope where it’s needed most. Thank you for considering this request and for being part of a community that uplifts and empowers families.

I have a young man who was just discharged after a 7 month hospital stay. He is wheelchair dependent and NPO (fed through a Micky Button). He is looking for a hook holder for his wheelchair to carry his feeding bag and his pump. He is in Trial Reunification with the parents but funds are tight at this time. They found one online that he like a lot online at a cost of $31.44. Go To Link

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!

This is a two part transportation request. We are looking for help getting a car repair completed or two bus passes. The parents have been told it is a gas pedal sensor. They say when they step on the gas pedal the engine does not rev up. If you are or know an auto mechanic that can help fix this issue, they would be very grateful for the help. They have been walking and/or asking friends for help getting to appointments. They are not able to get to job interviews that are farther away which has made it difficult for them to get the funds together to get the issue fixed. They do not have a quote for how much this repair would cost. They are also asking for a pair of bus passes to help them to get to appointments and interviews until they can get their car issues fixed.

I have a parent looking for help to pay a water bill. They are currently working a part time job and looking for another part time or full-time job to be able to get caught up on financial responsibilities. They are asking for help to pay any part of the $172.33 amount due. I have a copy of the bill and can provide details to assist in helping if anyone is able. She would be very appreciative of any help that can be provided. 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.
