We have a mother of two young children who has obtained housing and is in need of a uhaul truck rental to transport furnishings into the new home. Once the apartment is furnished and approved, the children can begin having visits in Mom's home with the aim of transitioning them to living with her full-time. Mom's apartment being equipped and deemed appropriate for the children is a primary barrier to reunification, so assistance in transporting the furniture would help the family overcome a huge hurdle toward reunification!

The mother has been connected with a furniture bank and just needs a rental truck arranged and funded so that she can transport the furniture. Alternatively, if there are community members with their own truck(s) able to transport a number of large furniture items (furnishings for multiple rooms in the home), that could also meet the family's needs.

*Estimated value based on rates for a 20ft uhaul rental.

The parent has recently escaped an unhealthy living situation and is now living independently with her two children. As she transitions to self-sufficiency, she is facing financial hardship, and her water service is at risk of disconnection due to a delinquent bill.

A 17-year-old recently received her own bedroom and is looking to make it her own! She has a bed and vanity but is looking for a tall dresser, a vanity stool, pink and/or white curtains, and some LED lights. She loves the colors pink and white and would love these items in those colors. Thank you for helping her create her safe space!

Good afternoon. I am requesting community assistance to help a 19 yr old pregnant homeless Foster Youth with getting a temporary storage unit to store her stuff until she can find stable housing. The youth in question is currently homeless and is couch surfing until we can locate a stable placement option. All of her personal items including clothing, , etc were being stored at a friends home but her "friend" no longer wants the items in her home and has threatened to throw everything out. We are requesting $150 to help with obtaining and paying for a 2-3 month storage unit so the youth has a safe place to store her belongings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Family is needing A/C window unit for child's room. Family has one unit in living room. Having an A/C unit in the child's room will help the child sleep better and be more comfortable.

Parents struggle with getting transportation to and from their daughter's medical appointments. Their daughter has a lot of medical issues, which cause her to need numerous medical appointments a month. The mother, who is approximately 6 months pregnant, takes the bus and walks a great distance to get from the bus stops to her daughter's appointments. Any amount given towards this family will help. It would greatly strengthen the bond with the family as they work toward reunification and take some stress off mom, who is not only fighting for her baby back, but also carrying another life!

We have a grandmother who agreed to move into her daughter's home to prevent 4 children from being removed from the home. Grandma is doing everything she can to maintain 4 young children in her home but this has caused her to lose her form of employment. The home was unclean when Grandma moved into the home but due to lack of funds and having her hands full, she is struggling to get the home back to the cleanliness it was prior to now. We are looking for cleaning supplies for Grandma or a cleaning company willing to to go to the home to assist the family so they can keep their home and children happy, healthy, and clean.

The child is a 16-month-old who has been receiving their food/nutrition through a feeding tube. The child was recently approved to switch to receiving food by mouth. Therefore, the family is in need of a highchair to help assist during feeding times.

The client was preparing to leave for work when she began experiencing car trouble. Her boyfriend, who was present at the time, stepped outside to help. As he was working on the vehicle, a car pulled up behind them. Without warning, masked men jumped out and opened fire. Her boyfriend was shot three times. The client herself was struck in the face by a bullet. One of the bullets even pierced her child’s car seat, a haunting reminder of how close this tragedy came to being even worse.

Since this traumatic event, the client has faced significant emotional and financial hardship. The violence she endured has not only left her physically and emotionally scarred, but also derailed her ability to maintain financial stability. She is now struggling to get back on her feet and provide a safe home for her child.

She is currently behind on a critical utility bill totaling $1,195.64 a balance that is preventing her from moving into a new, safer home. She is humbly requesting $800 in assistance toward this bill to help regain stability and security for her and her child. Any support would be a lifeline during this incredibly difficult time.

Client has a severely autistic child who is now 5 years of age plus a 2 year old. Client has worked off and on and she had been working from September until March and then had to quit because of the 5year old behavior due to his autism. She recently moved because she thought it would be better if she was closer to her mother and sister. Her mother is who she can count on for helping her with the kids. FOB has not been a resource and her mother helps her when she can financially and always emotionally and physically her mother helps her with childcare, respite care etc. Client is requesting help with hygiene products (deodorant, lotion, female hygiene products), dish soap, Scott towels, toilet paper, pull ups/diapers and wipes for the 5 year old as he is not capable of being potty trained, laundry products and cleaning supplies for her home.

A grandmother has recently taken in 5 children into her home ranging from 1 to 7-years-old. 4 of these children already have beds, however, the youngest is 1-year-old and needs a crib!

Along with this, more kids means more clothes! Placement is looking for a tall dresser to help store the children's clothes. Please help this home get a crib and a dresser!

We have a mom of 3 in our program who was admitted to the hospital and is worried about providing her kids with school supplies for the year. They need thins like school pants, backpacks, folders, notebooks, etc. We are requesting a gift card to walmart to help this family get what they need. The kids go to Kauffman and are in grades from 7th-11th. If this request is met it will go towards helping this mom provide new school clothes and gear/supplies for her kids as they enter this next year of high school, which should otherwise be an exciting time for them. Thank you.
