Sojourn on Savannah Ave

This CarePortal is going to help preserve a foster placement. Foster mom expressed need for underwear for the 12-year-old child in the home. The child is growing rapidly and outgrowing his current set of underwear. The child is size small in men's for underwear. Foster mom stated the child does not like wearing tidy whities. No preference for color or theme.

We are requesting a twin or full size bed for a child who will be reunifying with her mother. The mother is preparing for her child to come back home and is needing assistance with obtaining a bed for her child.

We are requesting a motel night for 2 more nights. The mother and small child are waiting on an opening at a shelter or for the alleged perp to be moved from the shared residence. We thought this would happen today, but it is not going to move as fast as we wanted. Shelters have been contacted and waiting on an opening or approval. The mother and child could use a gas card and some food either taken to them or by way of gift card to price chopper or hyvee.

Mother and grandmother live together. There are a total of 10 children in the home. Several of the children are potty training, and some of the younger children especially could use some more underwear and clothing.

The family could also use cleaning supplies, specifically mopping supplies, disinfectant wipes, trash bags, cleaning spray, dish soap, laundry detergent, air freshener. Also hygiene items- shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant (for men and women),

Family is getting evicted from home and need a place to stay until their new home gets inspected. Family can stay at mosque but need a place to store big items. Family either needs money for storage or someone willing to store their big items.

A biological dad is at risk of being evicted from his home. He does not currently have transportation to get to and from work. This is causing for his Uber expenses to take over his extra funds. His apartment complex told him he has until Monday to get his rent caught up or he will be evicted. Getting this need met will help him keep his home for him and his children.

I'm reaching out on behalf of a mother who is working hard to create a safe and nurturing home for her young child. She is in need of a few essential items to help furnish her space and support her child's development. Specifically, she is looking for a toddler bed, a small dresser, a kid-sized table and chairs set (for meals and activities). If you have any of these items gently used and or new at no cost to the mother, your generosity would mean a great deal to this family. Transportation is needed for these items. Thank you for your support and kindness!

A sibling set of 11, 13, and 15-years-old have recently come into care and are in need of beds!

The 13 and 15-year-old boys will be sharing a room and are looking for two twin size beds and mattresses. The 11-year-old girl has a room of her own and is looking for a twin- or full-size bed and mattress. As of right now the children are sleeping on inflatable mattresses.

We are looking for:

• 2 twin sized beds and mattresses
• 1 full sized bed and mattress

I am hoping to help get this family a 5lb fire extinguisher and 2 plug in/battery operated carbon monoxide detectors for their home to help them meet licensing standards and preserve this kinship placement.

Single mom who recently split with her ex due to a domestic violence situation. When her ex left the home, he took her washer and dryer. Mom has 3 kids under the age of 5 in the home and is struggling to afford to go to the laundry mat to wash and dry clothes. Mom is in need of a washer and an electric dryer. Mom reports that she has the hoses for the washer and the vent hose for the dryer. Gently used washer and dryer would be greatly appreciated.

In an effort to make her home more comfortable for a child, placement for a 16-year-old girl bought two air purifiers to help with the child's pet allergies. Placement would like to be reimbursed for the purchase.

One child in care and her baby are placed in a kinship placement. The kinship placement is needing assistance with her water bill. She has a past due payment of $134.24; but the whole bill together is $335.40. Any assistance in paying the water bill would greatly help this family. The placement provider is having a difficult time with all the additional expenses this child and her baby are bringing
