The Rock - Care Portal Needs

A 17 year old girl is reunifying with her dad in his home. She is 7-8 months pregnant and will be having her baby soon. The family would like to request a beside-the-bed bassinet for the baby to help the reintegration and post pregnancy go more smoothly. The family is currently working on completing reintegration with 9 kids total so this bed will help them out greatly.

The item being requested is a beside-the-bed bassinet.

The youth is currently in need of a Twin box spring to help create a more comfortable and supportive sleeping arrangement in her new placement. At this time, she is unable to get proper rest due to the lack of this essential item, which is impacting her overall comfort and ability to fully settle into her environment.

On July 31, 2025 there will be a Back to School Fair at Platte County Health Department. Our goal is to provide low-income students and families of Platte County an equal and safe opportunity for school readiness by enriching physical, mental, and social well-being. In 2024, 885 children were provided with backpacks, hygiene packets, eye screenings, dental screenings, sports physicals, vaccines, and access to community resources. We are still in need of individually bagged earbuds. Each child receives earbuds in their backpack to be used in the classroom. (The items we puchase for the backpacks are based ont he lists the schools provide us.) We have previously found the earbuds on amazon in bulk $22.00 per 50 count. This would help to finish up the final items needed for the backpacks. We are in need of 200 earbuds total.

We are requesting funds to have voucher's for families that need to do a UA for us on allegations for hotlines. This is for families who might not have employment or be on disability and cannot afford the fee. Fastest Labs gives us a large discount to work with families. We are requesting 20 vouchers. I have broken the requests up in half so it might be easier to meet the need.

We are seeking assistance to purchase a twin size bed to allow a kinship placement provider to home a sibling to a youth they already have in their home. This kinship home is an adoptive resource for both youth and we would love to see these kids obtain permanency together. We need a twin size frame, box spring and mattress so these children can be placed in the same home.

The children cannot live in the home of their grandmother who can take them. They were in a single parent home and Mom died, they are staying with an 84-year-old great-grandmother in a very small home and need to get into grandmas. She needs a dumpster urgently so that she can clean out her 2-bedroom home to accommodate the kids. She has too many boxes, bins and clutter to have them live with her comfortably or safely and there are 3 kids, so it really needs to be able to have all the rooms used. PLEASE HELP!! Great Grandmother cannot keep them. Would be great if this dumpster could get delivered on MONDAY so that they can get the house cleaned out by Friday and the kids can get into the home. Great Grandmother is hanging on, but barely!! A dumpster that is going to be delivered is being arranged, we are desperate to keep the kids with their grandma they have had so much tragedy and loss.

A 21-year-old mother has recently left a domestic violence relationship while her infant was brought into alternative care. The mother has done all that was asked of her, while continuing to advocate and provide for her daughter. A trial home visit began last week, reuniting the mother with her daughter. The child has grown significantly in the last few months and is now needing a new car seat. Please consider purchasing a car seat for this mother to provide her daughter with a safe way to travel.

DSS is currently supporting a dedicated great-grandmother who is caring for her two great-grandchildren in her home. She is nurturing a two-year-old boy and a six-month-old girl, both of whom require additional resources.

The two-year-old boy needs pull-ups in size 4T, while the six-month-old girl requires diapers and several cans of Similac Advance formula.

Additionally, the two-year-old requires a car seat, and a pack-n-play is essential for the six-month-old. Thank you in advance for your support in this kinship placement.

A young girl and her family have recently relocated to Florida. During their time there, she connected with an adult male on Snapchat, who persuaded her to travel to Cincinnati, even covering the cost of her Greyhound ticket. When the child left home, her mother promptly filed a missing person report, and efforts to locate her have been ongoing. Fortunately, the child has been found in Cincinnati and is currently receiving care in a hospital while arrangements are made for her safe return home. The mother is diligently working full-time to provide for her daughters and maintain their home. An adult sister is ready and willing to fly to Cincinnati to bring her sister back, but the family is currently facing financial challenges that prevent them from affording the travel expenses.

DSS is looking to explore resources that can support this hardworking family. They have made incredible strides in transforming their home from a hoarding situation, showcasing their dedication and resilience. However, they are in need of essential items like clean beds and a gently sofa, as well as functional air conditioning units. With the heat rising, it’s crucial to address their comfort and well-being. Both adults are stepping into the workforce and are ready to collaborate with local churches to create a plan for support. Together, we can help them thrive in their new environment. Thank you for your support for this family.
