An older youth recently left an abusive situation and is bravely starting over, just as she nears the age of aging out of care. In the process, she had to leave most of her belongings behind. She is in need of a full-size bed and bedding to help create a safe, stable space as she rebuilds her life. Your support can make a meaningful difference in her fresh start.

This single mom is trying to reunify with her 5 boys. She is in need of extra funds to pay for the first week of summer day camp while she is at work. This would help her cover the first week and put in her applications to hold their spots in the program. This would cover 3/5 boys who would be attending this summer camp after summer school lets out in June. Thank you!!

Children in school shown to be living in a home infested with bedbugs. Parent/household is very low income and unable to treat the infestation professionally. Parent attempts to treat the bugs with hardware store home treatments have not been effective. Clearing the home of the bugs will improve the lives of the children with healthier beds and sleep, and will decrease the likelihood of children needing to enter foster care. Initial household treatment and at least one follow-up is suggested.

Help needed for pre-school aged girl in foster care. Her current car seat expired in 2014 and foster family needs help to replace it. Use of an outdated car seat can result in injury in the case of a crash. She needs a convertible toddler car seat with a 5-point safety harness, or a high back booster seat with a 5-point safety harness rated for children under 40 pounds. Fulfilling this need will ensure more safety for the child and alleviate the financial burden of replacement for the foster family.

A Father is in the process of reuniting with his 2 children, he is in need of mattresses for their beds. The children came into care after a Domestic Violence incident in their mother's home led to the death of their step-father.

An older youth I work with is graduating next Sunday. He doesn’t have many supports in his life and will be transitioning into an apartment program this summer. I’d love to be able to give him a graduation gift to help him during this next chapter. If possible, I’m hoping to collect a few gift cards to support him as he takes this important step forward.

Single mom needs several booster seats and car seats for her 4 boys under the age of 5. Team plans to reunify this family within a few months. Mom is doing really well!

Family friends took placement of 3 children after the children were placed in foster care. They have children of their own and now have 3 more to take care of. This family is struggling with basic necessary items in order to care for the additional children. They are in need of a high back booster car seat so that car rides are safe.

I am working with a mother who has 5 children on trial home visit. The family suffered a tragic loss leading to some very hard times financially and emotionally. Due to this, the bill for utilities has gotten pretty far behind and has been shut off in the recent past. The mother has been able to gather enough money to keep the utilities on over the last month but is several months behind and needs help catching up. This mother has made incredible progress and is able to provide a beautiful home for her children. She is just struggling to catch up on some bills right now and could use some help with her utility bill. Paying all or a portion of the bill would be very helpful.

I am working with a sweet 11 year old young lady who just moved back in with her mother and siblings. She needs a dresser in her bedroom and a shelf for her personal things. She has a nice sized bedroom and would benefit from something that would hold her shorts/socks and items like that. She also needs a place to store books and toys. She is all girl and has a twin bed. It would be wonderful if she could also get a few wall hangings and comforter to "girl" up her room a bit. It doesn't have to match but would be nice to help her feel great about herself and her room.

This request is for an adult bicycle. A mother of two little girls does not have transportation. Having a bicycle would greatly help her to get to her job, visits with her children, therapy, etc.
