Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
I am working with a grandmother who has legal custody of her grandson who is 11 years old. The grandmother works full time and can generally meet the family's basic needs. However, she had an unexpected expense pop up which caused her to get behind on her rent. The grandmother needs help getting back on her feet. Please consider helping this family with this financial need. Thank you!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
I am working with a set of grandparents who have legal custody of their grandson who is 8 years old. They need financial assistance for summer day camp. The grandfather and grandmother both works outside of the home and can generally meet the family's basic needs. However, they need someone to watch their grandson while he is out of school this summer. The grandson goes to a private school and the school is offering summer day camp. The grandparents want the grandson to participate at this particular day camp to keep the consistency since he already knows the staff and other children. The grandson has been diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum and change is hard for him. The grandparents looked into other financial resources, but they were denied because they were slightly over-income. Please consider helping this family with this need. Thank you!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
A mother of four children ages 6, 4, 1 and 1 day is taking 6 weeks maternity leave. She was told in the beginning of May that her employer would not be paying for maternity leave. If she had known ahead of time she would have put money aside to help during this time. This mother is asking for help with her car payment. Everything else she can manage but the car payment is a struggle with no income for 6 weeks. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
There are four children in the home and two other children that do not reside in the home between dad and stepmom, but visits. They are very cordial and willing to work with us. The family is linked with community resources. The children are your typical children- they enjoy games, being outdoors, hanging out with friends. They are working on reunifying with the father's 16 year old daughter. Parents do what they can to provide and meet all of the needs of the children. They are consistently ensuring they are attending all of their counseling appointments, groups, etc. They work around the kids’ appointments so money is often tight especially with multiple kids in the home.
The family is in need of a twin bunk bed and one twin mattress.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
A devoted grandmother is doing her best to care for her three beloved grandchildren—a 16-year-old girl, a 14-year-old boy, and an 11-year-old boy. Recently, she suffered a stroke and spent time in the hospital. She is now back home, recovering, and trying to maintain a stable environment for her grandchildren. Living on a fixed income, she’s facing a difficult challenge: her bathtub is no longer draining, making daily care and hygiene a struggle. She is kindly asking for help—whether it's someone who can repair the tub or assist her in finding a plumber. Any support during this time would mean the world to her and her family.

A loving grandmother is doing all she can to care for her three cherished grandchildren—a 16-year-old girl, a 14-year-old boy, and an 11-year-old boy. Recently, she faced a serious health setback after suffering a stroke and spending time in the hospital. Now back home and on the road to recovery, she is doing her best to provide a safe and stable environment for the children who mean the world to her.
Living on a fixed income, she is now struggling to catch up on bills and medical expenses, all while trying to stay afloat. One of her most urgent challenges is paying $851.87 in property taxes on her home in Franklin County. Despite the obstacles, she remains determined to care for her family and keep them together under one roof.
Any support during this difficult time would mean so much to this devoted grandmother and her grandchildren. Your kindness could help ease the burden and bring a bit of hope to a family that’s doing their best to hold on.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
Hello! We have a wonderful child in our care awaiting adoption that has multiple medical diagnoses that have existed since birth resulting in her being unable to stand, walk, or use limbs independently. She is non-verbal and has significant developmental delays, but does very much enjoy cartoons and music. She is currently placed in a long term care facility while awaiting adoption and recently her television has quit working resulting in her not having her daily entertainment after school that she so looks forward to. The facility has communicated that a 36"-42" Roku Television would be ideal and fully rotational wall mount so that she can watch from bed or her wheelchair. They requested Roku because they have extra remotes in the event that hers might be misplaced.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
62198140- I’m working with wonderful family who has adopted three amazing children from foster care. Each child faces unique challenges, including fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), autism, ADHD, and anxiety. Daily struggles with elopement and meltdowns make their safety a constant concern. Every day requires vigilance and love as they work to create a nurturing environment where their children can thrive. 2 of the children struggle with elopement, putting them at risk of wandering from home. Their meltdowns, which can happen daily due to sensory overload or anxiety, sometimes result in aggression, necessitating constant supervision to ensure their safety and the safety of others. The family is in need of a secure fence which would allow the children to safely enjoy outdoor play while granting them the space to decompress on challenging days. It would serve as a deterrent to elopement and offer peace of mind. By ensuring that their playtime is separate from neighborhood children on days when they feel overwhelmed, this fence can also protect those around them. The family has an estimate for 3 different styles of fences: Pressure treated wood: $7,504 Pressure treated 4x4 and Cedar 2x4 + fence boards: $9,564 6' White Vinyl: $12,112

Help Make a Kinship Placement
A brave 22-year-old caregiver has stepped up to care for her 17-year-old sister through a kinship placement. Despite her young age, she has taken on this responsibility with love and determination. Recently, she suffered a broken wrist, making it impossible for her to work. She and her sister are currently staying with another sister and her sister’s fiancé while she searches for a stable place to call home.
She is doing everything she can to support her little sister, including applying for SNAP benefits and Medicaid, and is now waiting to hear back on the status of those applications. In the meantime, she has been relying on food pantries, but those resources are limited and don’t always meet their needs.
She is seeking help with groceries so she can provide healthy, nourishing meals for her sister and herself. She is also in the process of applying for unemployment and actively searching for housing to give her sister a sense of stability and home.
This young woman and her sister have already faced so much at such young ages, yet they continue to move forward with strength and hope. Any support with groceries or gift cards would mean the world to them. The family is incredibly grateful for any kindness shown during this difficult time.

Help Preserve an Adoptive Placement
A loving and supportive family has recently welcomed a 4-month-old child into their home while also caring for their own biological child. As they work hard to provide a safe and nurturing environment, their financial responsibilities have significantly increased. Due to the added costs of caring for the new child, the family has fallen behind on two essential bills: utilities and electricity. Assistance with these bills will help the family catch up and maintain a stable, comfortable home environment for both children. Any help for this family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
