A devoted grandmother has stepped up to care for her infant grandson, providing him with a safe and nurturing home after a sudden family crisis. She could greatly benefit from a small baby walker to help keep him engaged during the day, as well as a $50 Walmart gift card to purchase essential clothing, small supports that would ease her daily challenges and help her continue providing loving, stable care.

Mother in this case recently reunified with her three children. Her children are living back home with her and are doing well. Mother is working full time to support her family and is struggling keeping food in the home. Mother is requesting gift cards to assist with groceries.

Kinship provider is caring for a family members baby. This child was born premature with serious heart defects. The baby is very sick and requires ongoing hospital care as well as extensive round the clock medical care, for the short periods that she is discharged to the home. The kin provider is heart broken and a bit traumatized by how sick the baby is. Kin provider has identified that gas vouchers would be helpful and supportive to her at this time as she visits the baby in the hospital daily to receive care instructions, updates and because she loves her. Kin provider plans to get involved in counseling as an added layer of support. The ongoing side of the case is no longer providing gas vouchers due to budget cuts. Therefore, this cert worker is asking for gas gift cards for the family and is advocating for $200 but any amount is greatly appreciated!

A coach stepped in to care for 3 boys ages 12, 14, and 16, who were physically abused and neglected in their home with their father. This coach has known the boys for a long time and immediately stepped in when the boys needed a safe home. The kin is a single father with 3 teenagers of his own and having 3 additional teenage boys in the home has been a challenge with making sure he can make ends meet with basic needs. One of the big things that is being requested is calling/ text minutes for the boys phones. They all have phones however, they only work on WIFI. With summer coming up, the kin provider is wanting more communication with them to know where they are at while kin is at work and just be able to have more communication. The kin is working on getting certified as a foster parent and is very close to this step, when this happens, he is able to get the boys their own numbers but until that happens, they are hoping to get the unlimited minutes.

A three year old was placed with paternal grandmother almost two years ago. The child's father is often homeless, incarcerated or unable to be located and his mother struggles with substance use. Grandmother works two jobs while also raising her own minor child. Grandmother does not receive any financial assistance from either parent or the Department and reports she is struggling with groceries. She has been provided resources for food banks but is often working when food banks are open. Requesting assistance with groceries.

Two teens were placed with aunt and uncle the beginning of May due to father being homeless and mother's substance use in the home. In talking to the younger child's teacher, aunt learned the child is several grades below grade level in math. Aunt has signed the child up for tutoring over the summer in an attempt to get her caught up/support the child's likeliness of attending school consistently when school resumes. Tutoring is $342 a month for the next two months. The family has incurred additional expenses such as a significant increase in the grocery bill and purchase of clothes as the children came to their home with nothing. Requesting financial assistance for the family to help cover the cost of tutoring.

I am working with a teenager who's foster placement was recently disrupted due to the foster parents getting divorced. The teenager is currently in a respite location but does not have all of her belongings including underwear, pajamas, and school-appropriate attire. There have been several meetings between myself and the foster family to retrieve items, however the youth still indicates she is missing many of her clothing items. I am request giftcards to take the youth shopping to get her provisions needed for her day-to-day life while staying at the respite while other foster options are looked into and investigated.

Giftcards to anywhere would be great (Walmart, Old Navy, Target, Visa, etc.)

I have an eight year old male who is in kinship placement. His parents have both been working hard to address safety concerns and work towards reunification. Mom has been in her own apartment since about February of 2025 and dad will be moving into his own apartment next week (parents are separated). With the anticipated return home, parents will need a bed for their son. I am seeking support in providing a twin bed (one for each house hold) so this is one less item they need to worry about.

I am working with three kiddos who are 4 (male), 3 (female), and 11 mo. (male). In May, they were removed from their home and placed into foster care. The initial foster home they were placed in was not able to meet their needs, so a week later, they had to move again. When the kids were placed in their current home, they did not have much with them. Foster mom reported that the clothing they had does not fit and a lot of the baby items are old, dirty, and had to be thrown away. The two older children are high needs as they struggle with behavioral issues, speech delays, and regulation challenges. The youngest has a brain injury that requires ongoing care. We want to support them and the foster parents as much as possible to help with stability and structure. In speaking with foster parents, they would benefit from some additional support in buying new and useable items for the kids.

I have a 15 year old living in Kinship care as his mother abandon him last year on his biofathers doorstep. The youth has struggled in his dad's home due to abuse by stepmother and his dad not being protective. Biofather has essential abandoned him by letting him live with the kin family and has not communicated with them at all. This youth is amazing, gets good grades and goes to church every week. He asked if he could get some assistance with a Visa Gift card to help with essentials and have some funds to hang out with his friends. This youth is so deserving and it would be great if someone could assist him.
