Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Mom with two young kids had their daycare home burn down and while we are able to help her get most things replaced a double stroller is something the mom could really use. Mom has a 2 year old and a 4 month old.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A single father of four boys is in urgent need of $300 to cover the remainder of his rent by July 1st. This father has worked tirelessly to bring his family back together, and his commitment is paying off- two of his sons are already home, and the other two are scheduled to be reintegrated with him in the next couple of weeks. Recently, he faced a setback when a medical complication forced him to miss work and ultimately lose his job. Although he has since recovered and is ready to return to work, the brief interruption in income left him short on rent. He was able to pay part of what's due, but now needs help covering the final $300 to avoid losing his home. Your support would help keep his children safe, stable, and together under one roof. This assistance would not only prevent the loss of housing but would also allow the final steps of their reunification to move forward as planned.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Hey CarePortal family, I have a request for help from a single mom. Her husband deserted the family without any financial support and he has no plans of returning. To ensure that this bio family of three can stay together safely, they need their utilities paid off (Evergy $1300.00 and Kansas Gas $609.00) because this is hindering their ability to get new service at another location. They also need help finding a new home or apartment to rent. This is a very difficult and stressful situation for this family and they could really use our help. I am requesting each need as a separate CAREPORTAL request.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This family is in urgent need of a refrigerator and a deep freezer after their home was flooded due to recent rains and flash-flooding earlier this month. This family is facing a daunting recovery process with their four young children (ages 3 months to 7 years). Adding to their challenges, the mother and two of her children suffer from hemophilia, a rare bleeding disorder requiring extensive medical attention and costly treatment. Because their refrigerator went out, their medications were destroyed. The health insurance company will not cover costs to replace the medications.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The family recently moved to a different area of Wichita due to one the children's behaviors in the home. The new home is smaller so the children are having to share rooms. Mom has asked several resources in the community for assistance to no avail. Mom is requesting two bunk bed frames. She has the mattresses for the beds and is only needing the frames. Any assistance would help this mother and keep her children in a safe environment.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

A faith-based organization that takes care of youth in foster care had two freezers quit working last week. They are currently getting a lot of free frozen meals and meat from the Food Bank and are constantly needing freezer space to store food. The freezers they are looking at are around $700 each. They do have two specific freezers they are looking at so they can give you the model number or put cash toward it. They are appreciative of any help they can get as they feed up to 37 youth in foster care each day.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The paternal grandmother of the four kids has custody of them now due to their dad being incarcerated and the mother not being able to care for them. She is overwhelmed with managing the four children as well as two of her own older children live at home as well and her elderly mother. They have been struggling with lice for a long time and it seems that no matter how hard they try it never goes away due to difficulty treating all the children at the same time. There never seems to be enough time in the day and the kids don't enjoy having lice treatments. I'm hopeful that someone could take the children into a lice clinic to get professionally treated as she cannot afford it.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A kinship family recently took placement of their two young grandsons, providing them with the stability and love they desperately need. However, like many relatives who step in during times of crisis, they were not financially prepared for the sudden addition of two growing boys to their household.

At the moment, both children are sharing a single queen bed, which is not a sustainable or comfortable long-term solution. Each child needs their own bed—a space of their own to rest, grow, and feel secure. Separate beds will not only support the children's physical and emotional well-being, but also help preserve the stability of this new family arrangement.

We are seeking two twin mattresses and bed frames to meet this urgent need. Your donation will help ensure this family can remain together in a safe and supportive environment.

If you’re able to donate a new or gently used twin mattress or frame—or contribute financially toward purchasing one—we would be deeply grateful. Your support makes a real difference for children and families in need.

Please reach out if you're able to help—thank you for being part of the village that supports families in transition.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A young, homeless family has been struggling to get on their feet. The mom is pregnant, and mom and dad have a 1-year-old son too. The family is working to get resources for housing and mom has recently got a job. The family currently does not have a car seat for the child, which makes it difficult for them to get connected to the community and to resources. Please consider supporting this family with a toddler/convertible car seat!

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

The Foster Care Homes and the Licensing departments with Saint Francis works with relative, NRKIN, and general care foster homes, and tend to run into needs of these items listed to remain in compliance with DCF. SFM workers like to have these items on hand to help accommodate our families and ensuring they remain in compliance so children can remain in their home. Fire extinguishers, first aid kits, fire and CO2 detectors, and medication lock boxes are of the greatest need. Thank you for your consideration.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A single mother with 4 children who are in need of bedframes for 3 of the children's beds. This family has had to overcome traumatic experiences that took place in the past. Through the help of the services offered by the Department for Children and Families this family is doing much better with the memories of the traumatic experiences these children endured. This family is in need of these bedframes which will replace the old worn-out wobblily bedframes they are now using. The mother has tried to use these older worn bedframes to avoid placing the mattresses on the floor. She does know how important it is for the children to use a bed frame to maintain proper health and hygiene.
