New Life Assembly of God

I am a social worker working a family that is at risk of having their electricity turned off. Mom and Dad have three children and both work and have been able to afford their monthly bills previously, however, one of their children was recently admitted to CMH due to a traumatic brain injury. Due to this injury, Mom has had to stop working as pt now requires assistance with all daily living activities and requires 24/7 supervision for his safety and safety of others. As family has lost that income, they are now behind on their electric bill and at risk of having it turned off. The minimum payment to keep service on is $155.00. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated by family. Thank you for your consideration.

The company that mom works for has moved to St. Louis causing her to lose her job of 23 years. She is currently cleaning office buildings to get by, but she is not making enough to cover all of her bills. She needs help with rent. They have rented the same house for 12 years, so luckily her rent is relatively low. She has applied for LIHEAP and has reached out to other community partners but none have the funding to help. She is working with the Jackson County Prevention Team to ensure success moving forward. Mom and kids escaped a relationship of domestic violence; mom is doing everything she can to provide for and keep her two children safe. Assistance in paying this rent would be life changing for this family.

Jackson County Children's Division is seeking assistance in supplying a family who is in need of Uber gift cards to help them get around town & to attend their visitation with their 4-month-old son. It seems to be that having a vehicle and stable housing are the only barriers this family is facing that might be preventing them from reunifying within the time frame they would like to reunify in. Otherwise, they are doing absolutely everything & more to be able to ensure they are prepared for their little one to come home. This couple is doing exceedingly well on their progress towards sobriety and reunification with their son! The couple is 120 days sober from ALL substances and are actively participating in all services at this time! The couple is SO determined to reunify with their son, that they took it upon themselves to join other additional support groups on top of what they're required to participate in. They have even provided me as a caseworker with other resources within the local community that I hadn't known about, to then research and give out to other clients to help them! That is one of the many reasons as to why I enjoy working with this family so much. I am very proud of this couple and am hopeful that Care Portal will be able to find something to assist this couple in finding transportation vouchers. As always, thank you for your time and consideration from Jackson County Children's Division! We are so grateful to be partnered with an organization like yours!

A 12-year-old child is placed in a Department of Mental Health home to meet her needs as she has several diagnoses including autism spectrum disorder. This child has a history of causing damage to furniture items when she is escalated, in the past six months the child has broken two TVs in the living room. The DMH company has replaced the TV once already and we would like to try to alleviate the financial burden, while also finding a solution to this issue with a case.

A devoted mother has expressed her need for a one-seater stroller suitable for her infant. As a single parent, she is navigating the challenges of providing for her new child independently. When we inquired about how we could assist her, she shared that having a stroller would make a significant difference in her daily life.

Grandmother has kindly committed to caring for her grandchild under a temporary placement agreement, but she requires assistance with a few essential items:

• A Pack-n-Play
• Cabinet door locks
• Formula Similac Advance (4 Cans)

Your support in providing these items will make a significant difference in ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for her grandchild. Thank you for your consideration.

👟🌞 Helping a Supermom of 7! Summer Support Needed

We’re hoping to rally some support around an incredible single foster mom who is currently caring for seven amazing kids—yes, seven! She’s doing an incredible job juggling everything on her own, but could really use a little extra help this summer.

Right now, she’s in need of:

🍼 A stroller that can hold a car seat—something that makes outings a little easier and more manageable with the littlest ones in tow. 👗 Summer clothes for her 16-year-old daughter, who wears a junior size 2-3 pants and size medium shirts. Light, breathable clothing for the season would be a huge blessing!

This mama is showing up with so much love and dedication every single day, and meeting these practical needs would go a long way in lightening her load and reminding her she’s not alone.

💛 Thank you for considering how you might help support this family—it’s the little things that make a big difference.

The stroller need may be being met.

Clothing sizes are for 16 year old girl, pants/jeans size 2 or 3 and size medium shirts are still a need.

Hello, I am requesting a $200.00 gift card for a sixteen-year-old young man who resides in a Department of Mental Health Residential Home. He is diagnosed with Autism and uses a communicative device to communicate with others. He enjoys bowling, basketball, going to Get Air Trampoline Park and shopping at Red Rocks Thrift Store. This money will positively impact this young mans life by ensuring that he can spend his summer participating in some of the activities he enjoys.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Good afternoon. I am requesting community assistance to help a older youth on my caseload with paying her home's utility bills. The youth in question is 18 and is in State's Custody as a foster youth. She was living with her uncle in an apartment in Independence, MO but unfortunately, her uncle recently died leaving her with no money or resources. My youth was on the lease with her uncle and has to take over the utility bills and rent. She is currently only working part time minimum wage and does not have a permit or driver's license. She has very little money saved and has even less family support. We are requesting $200 either cash/check to help her with paying for next month's utility bills to get her through the next month until more services can be put in place to further support her in this time of need. Any support would be greatly appreciated.
