We are seeking help for a loving grandmother of six who needs an old, broken refrigerator removed from her home. Her family has done intensive case management to support her, but this task requires more hands and resources than they have. She is unable to move it herself due to health and mobility issues. Any assistance with removal and proper disposal would be deeply appreciated and make a big difference in her daily life.

On 05/27/2025 mom identified needing urgent help with electric bill as electric is about to be shut off. There are four children in the home ranges ages 9 months, 6yo, 9yo & 15yo. MO has recently been approved for Section 8 housing and is actively searching for housing as the family is currently living in a very small 2 bedroom apartment. MO also reported needing assistance for clothes for the CH and food. (CPS gave MO resources- United Way One Page)

Hey CarePortal family, this is another much needed request for this mom and family. After being homeless for 2 years, mom has found a safe and affordable place to reside however, there isn't a refrigerator. Another household item that she needs is a bed. Mom is trying to create a safe and loving environment for her and her family and we are asking for any help with these two items.

Family is moving into permanent housing and needing some basic furniture. Family is asking for a washer and dryer set, dressers, curtains, and bath accessories (rugs, shower curtains) and sheets for a queen and two full size mattresses.

Hey family, while we are continuing to "help people intentionally" I have an adult female that has been homeless for two long years. She was released from confinement (arrested for domestic disturbance) and upon returning to her home she found that her family had evacuated the home and she was given an eviction notice. This meant she had to start anew, and she was able to do odd jobs to earn money while actively looking for permanent work. While going to AA and NA meetings (self directed, not required) unfortunately she was robbed of $700 and doesn't have $500 for rent this month. Her goal is to reunite with her 3 children in a safe and stable home.

A resilient family is working hard to rebuild their lives and create a stable, loving home for their children. Recently, their 13-year-old son was joyfully reintegrated into their care. This transition has come with numerous mental health appointments and emotional support needs, which the father has made a priority-so much so that he lost his job while ensuring his son received the care he deserved. Though the father has since found new employment, the position pays significantly less, and the family has fall behind on essential bills, including utilities. They are now facing the heartbreaking possibility of losing access to basic services. The household also includes a bright and spirited 5-year-old with extensive needs, and the family is actively preparing to welcome their daughter back into their home as well. Their hearts are full, but the challenges are many. Support during this time would make an immediate and lasting impact. Keeping the utilities on will not only prevent disruption to their daily lives, but also allow the family to focus on nurturing their children, healing together, and building the future they're all working so hard to create. With this help, they will be able to maintain stability and continue moving forward with hope and strength.

Hi CarePortal Family. While we continue to "help people intentionally", I have a bio family that has experienced a sudden loss of income. Mom was released from her management position without; notice, write-up, warning or explanation from her company and needs immediate help. She is trying to maintain her household that includes a three year old grandchild that is direct by the courts to live with her due to abuse. Mom need urgent help with her electric bill ($1,510.69) while she is actively exploring other job resources. Any help towards this utility would be greatly appreciated.

We have a teen, female youth who cam into care due to struggling with her mental health and developmental issues that caused her to have behaviors that made the living environment unsafe for others in the home. Her developmental delays hinder her in a way that she will require assistance for daily living upon transitioning out of foster care. It has been arranged for her to move into adult IDD (Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled) housing. She is excited to move into a home with others who share her experiences. She is also excited about graduating high school in may and has begun looking for employment opportunities. To be able to successfully transition into her adult IDD housing, she is in need of some household supplies. We have been able to get her some essentials but she is still in need of a nightstand, dresser, lamp, and television. Any assistance in getting these remaining items for her would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
