We have a 14 year old youth in custody requesting a punching bag for use to de-stress/release frustration. He had access to one at his previous placement and reports it helping him de-stress a lot. He does not have one at his new placement and has reported missing having one and being more stressed as a result. He is 6 feet tall as a reference for the size of the bag.

I'm requesting $96 to help a rural, off-grid family pay for a 6-month PO Box rental — a small but vital step that will allow their one school aged child to begin homeschooling.

Without a PO Box, they can’t receive curriculum materials or set up the internet service required for learning. The family lives in a very remote area, and their income is extremely limited. Even a modest expense like this stands in the way of progress.

Your donation will: Cover the cost of the PO Box for 6 months. Enable the family to receive essential mail and supplies. Help their child start a stable and supported homeschool journey.

Even your consideration to this donation is much appreciated!

I wanted to ask if we could put a care portal request for the family for a fridge. The Specifications of the fridge they currently have are 35.5 inches wide 71.5 inches tall and depth of the fridge 23 and 32 inches deep. The family is unable to purchase a fridge on their own due to prioritizing mother's medical needs and medication costs.

The grandmother in this case is a relative foster parent to 12 and 15 year old siblings. The grandmother does not have much income, and does not have money for gas for her vehicles, which she needs to make it to apppointments.

This is a toddler that needs a toddler size bed frame. The need is due to safety concerns, having a toddler bed frame would allow the foster parent to set up sleeping arrangements for the child near them.

M has been staying in a CYFD office off and on while the Department works on finding placement. He recently went to acute care and is coming back to the office. His team is requesting a weighted blanket to help him when he dysregulates. While in CPH it was shared by the clinical team that he utilized their blanket and was able to calm down easier. He is struggling with being around other children in the office setting who also struggle to regulate themselves. Any assistance would be appreciated!

the family would also benefit from a small window air conditioner to provide cool/fresh air during the hot summer

The youth is transitioning to a new home that specializes in teen care. To make this placement more comfortable for her we are trying to help her get a small dresser. This will allow a space for her to put her clothing and other items, and it will also be something she could take with her when she moves out of the home into her own place.

M and B are currently living in an office setting. The Department is looking for placement for these siblings. Both are physically and developmentally delayed, and we are hoping to get them some art supplies to encourage their creativity and help them stay regulated while in an office setting and beyond. We are looking for paper, construction paper, acrylic paints, craft paints, brushes, glue, markers, crayons/colored pencils and other child safe/washable craft supplies. The children are ages 6 and 8. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

H, B and E are children currently living in a CYFD office. All 3 are non verbal and autistic. We are hoping to get some sensory, fidget and interactive toys such as: squishy balls, pop its, bendy tubes, spinners, wooden puzzles, fake foods like fruits and veggies, eggs etc, flash cards, leap pads with books to be read along with, busy boards/busy books, montessori toys, light up toys, interactive books on planets and animals, etc to help these children regulate in an office setting. Ages of the children range from 8 to 17. Any help would be really appreciated! Either an outright purchase by a donor of any/all listed items or a gift card would be wonderful. Thank you!
