Help Preserve an Adoptive Placement
Family lost a small dog due to a traffic incident. The older adult size dog was left in the home, observed the incident while everyone was gone, and he destroyed the family couch. They are hoping to obtain any kind of replacement couch, so the family has a place to sit in the living room. The kids usually do their homework in the living room, as teens. The case is about to go to TPR/Adoption. There are 7 siblings divided between two homes, luckily across the street from one another.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Family with 5 children are needing to start over due to their home and all contents being part of a fire. They are needing just about everything to start their lives over. They are hoping to get into a new place by this weekend, if not within 24 hours. Someone is helping them with beds and clothing, but they are needing the community's help for the following supplies. As for the washer & dryer, if someone has a used, in good working condition, family would be appreciative of your donation, especially with having 5 children!!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
Please help preserve the placement of two very busy children with their grandparents by providing the children the ability to attend YMCA day camp for the next 4 weeks until school begins. The children attended summer school, but it has now ended resulting in the children having limited peer interaction and increased fighting in the home. Their grandfather just had an extended stay in the hospital and is still recovering which has made it very difficult for grandparents to plan and participate in activities with the kids. A consistent routine is crucial to keeping the children stable and safe between now and the start of the school year.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
Grandmother with guardianship of her granddaughter has recently become homeless and is in desperate need of a storage shed to store their belongings. The two have a safe place to stay at this time but are in fear of losing the only personal belongings and furniture they have as they cannot take all of it with them. Getting a storage shed would greatly help this family and prevent them from having even more hardship to overcome when they establish their own housing.

Help Make a Kinship Placement
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.

baby was born at 23 weeks in September. Mother is recovering from substance abuse. Mother is currently in jail, she is either going to in patient rehab or to prison. Before mom went to jail she was working with children's division and doing well. The baby is staying with a family friend and they are looking to get guardianship to prevent the baby from coming into state custody. The family needs are size 2 diapers and formula. They are getting WIC but it takes time. Similac 360 Total Care Infant Formula Ready to Feed. Also if possible they need help affording a attorney for guardianship. I did not know how much to put down for value.

Children's division is working with a family with two kids that are 2 and under. The 2-year-old is medically fragile, and wheelchair bound with a lot of medical equipment. The home has a roach infestation and needs to be thoroughly cleaned in order for the child to be able to stay on the home. The family is working on cleaning it but has asked for help with getting the roaches taken care of and a 10-yard dumpster. This family really needs the additional help in order to be able to stay in the home for the child and his high needs. Also, any resources for getting a wheelchair ramp built would be appreciated.
