This family of 5 just moved into a new home. The 3 little girls are so active and sometimes change their clothes multiple times a day. Both parents are working, and dad is attending some classes, so they also sometimes go through more than one outfit a day. They previously had a washer, but it just went out on them recently. They need only a new washer ASAP please!

This family lost part of their home to a fire, during the fire the fire department had to have the electrical cut to the home as it was a danger. The family has worked to get the home rebuilt but is struggling to get the electrical taken care of due to the enormous cost. We are looking for help in the community to have electricians to come in and help this family get their home rewired and hooked back up to the main pole. If we could get this accomplished, then we as an agency could put the child back in the home.

We are working alongside a single mother who is disabled and raising two younger children - a 7 month-old baby boy who has asthma and a 2-year-old toddler as well. They are currently living in a duplex that does not have heating or air conditioning. As summer temperatures are rising, the home becomes very hot and uncomfortable for the family and the little ones. The family has tried opening the windows and it does not help the situation.

The infant has asthma symptoms that are aggravated by the heat, and she has no alternative way to cool down her home. We've reached out to the family's medical insurance to see what support and services they could provide, and they could not provide any at this time. This mother is urgently in need of a portable air conditioner to help make a difference in keeping the kiddos cool. If you know of any programs within the Fort Scott, KS area that we could connect her to or if you could be so kind to donate even a tiny bit of financial assistance to help her get this, we would appreciate it. This need could also help with reunifying her child that is already in Foster Care.

DCF is working with a family of three children (3 years, 6 years, and 8 years), one with significant health issues (heat induced seizures, and other diagnoses') and 2 adults. The family is facing eviction at midnight (6/30/25). Family has reached out to other local agencies who stated they are out of funding. Family has gotten their waitlist letter for Hud and is applying for TBRA. The family would benefit from assistance in temp housing until they get funds on the 15th of July.

Teen who has health issues and is overweight was brought in custody due to cleanliness of the home and parental health concerns. Teen has been placed into a kinship home and is now starting to learn how to take care of his health better. Teen is asking for a bike helmet, and safety gear to be able to ensure his safety while exercising by riding his bike. Any help would be appreciated.

Parents unemployed, but mother is actively seeking employment, struggling to provide pull-ups for youngest child with special needs who is not developmentally ready to potty train. Home recently foreclosed and the family is struggling to access housing services because they don't have a specific eviction date. Family has outstanding gas and water bills.

Mother and Daughter recently moved into a place and the landlordis working with the mother on the deposit. The deposit is more than what Mom has right now. She is employed. This family does not have any furniture. A request for the daughter through DBLO's for a bed has been submitted. A request is not able to be submitted for the mother. Mom has made tough decisions to keep her and here daughter safe. Any assistance for this family is greatly appreciated by me and them as well.
