The happiest 8th month old you've ever seen is flourishing in his foster placement while mom works hard to get everything in order so that he can return home to her. These amazing foster parents have welcomed mom into their family and do all of their own visits together. Baby boy has had some health issues stemming from birth and he is on a specialized formula that is prohibitively costly. Foster mom has availed herself of every resource imaginable and does utilize WIC but she is still about three cans short for the month. The formula is Neocate Infant Formula and it is about $46 per can at Walmart. If anyone could help with this need to get through the month it would be an enormous blessing!

Kinship foster parents is taking two children. They have already had to redo a room and purchase beds and beddings. They now need carseats for the children and are strapped .

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.

If you are able to do so this is an urgent need before the vehicle gets impounded.

I am working with a biological family of three. Mom is fully engaged in services and provides all transportation for her two toddlers for their two overnight visits each week. Mom is employed full time and is the only source of income in the house. Mom is responsible for the care of the children while they are in her care and does not qualify for food stamps. She is actively reviewing her monthly budget with a daily spending log and is continually looking for opportunities to cut expenses. Mom is requesting assistance with a gas card and groceries as she identifies community resources, establishes a manageable budget, and reduces travel expenses.
