This request is to help a family in need with a Temporary Alternative Placement Agreement. The parents are working on various items to improve themselves and to make themselves and their home a safe place for the child to return home to. The extended family that is placement for the child currently are sturggling financially to make ends meet. Currently they are in need of gas cards to help keep gas in the car to get the child to daycare. Without this aid they will have to miss more shifts at work and without work they will not be able to keep the child with them.

By helping with this request you are directly helping keep a child out of court custody and out of the foster system.

We have a grandmother who agreed to move into her daughter's home to prevent 4 children from being removed from the home. Grandma is doing everything she can to maintain 4 young children in her home but this has caused her to lose her form of employment. The home was unclean when Grandma moved into the home but due to lack of funds and having her hands full, she is struggling to get the home back to the cleanliness it was prior to now. We are looking for cleaning supplies for Grandma or a cleaning company willing to to go to the home to assist the family so they can keep their home and children happy, healthy, and clean.

Client has a severely autistic child who is now 5 years of age plus a 2 year old. Client has worked off and on and she had been working from September until March and then had to quit because of the 5year old behavior due to his autism. She recently moved because she thought it would be better if she was closer to her mother and sister. Her mother is who she can count on for helping her with the kids. FOB has not been a resource and her mother helps her when she can financially and always emotionally and physically her mother helps her with childcare, respite care etc. Client is requesting help with hygiene products (deodorant, lotion, female hygiene products), dish soap, Scott towels, toilet paper, pull ups/diapers and wipes for the 5 year old as he is not capable of being potty trained, laundry products and cleaning supplies for her home.

A family is needing help securing a door on the side of their house. The door is meant to have a barricade, however, one of the brackets for the barricade has broken off, and therefore, the door cannot properly lock. The objects stored in that room are at risk and the rest of the home is less secure. The family is hoping for a new lock or barricade bracket to secure the door. The family and I greatly appreciate those considering to help out. Thank you.

An 8 year girl just entered foster care and will be having a birthday this week. This child came to the foster home with only the clothes on her back. The foster placement would like to purchase some new clothing items and a few toys to provide a meaningful birthday for this child as they have been separated from their family. Please consider donating a gift card so they can purchase items for her birthday.

This youth has been working diligently to prepare for aging out of care. Throughout this process, he has faced numerous challenges and setbacks, yet he continues to persevere as he takes meaningful steps toward independence. Despite his best efforts, unforeseen circumstances have caused delays in his transition, including pushing back his planned age-out date. He has been actively searching for housing, securing an apartment, and covering the associated fees on his own.

At this time, he is in need of a grocery gift card to help cover food expenses for his first month on his own. Providing this support would relieve a significant financial burden and allow him to focus on building a stable foundation. By easing the immediate stress of affording food, we can help ensure a more successful and confident start to this important new chapter in his life.

Hello there, I'm reaching out on behalf of our client and their family who is in dire need of financial assistance to address the electrical issues they are currently experiencing. The client's family of 5 is currently struggling with what appears to be the functionality of their electrical breaker. They are only able to use a little bit of power at a time, which has led to the family being unable to cool their home adequately. Client's mother has contacted Evergy to assess the issue, and Evergy was only able to confirm that the issue was not on their end. Client's mother has contacted Lynn Electric in hopes to diagnose the problem, but they are requiring a payment estimate of $300 to even come out to assess what's wrong with their power. They are currently doing their best to come up with the money by donating plasma and cutting costs when possible but are currently surviving solely on client's stepdad's income and already struggling to make ends meet. We are reaching out to request financial assistance to pay for Lynn Electric to diagnose the problem in hopes that they can have functional power as soon as possible.

Thank you!

A parent is seeking two removable wheelchair ramps for their rental home to support their child’s mobility and safety.

Although the child primarily uses a wheelchair, she is also learning to walk with a walker. However, she is unable to lift the walker or raise her leg to step over standard thresholds. A suitable removable ramp that meets the needs of both locations has been identified on Amazon. Go To Link

Two young boys were removed from there mom because of an unsafe situation. They have reintegrated back home with their dad who was not in the home with them originally. The family is fully reintegrated but there are court fees that the dad cannot fully cover and the family will not be finished with court until the fees are covered. The fees are supposed to be shared with the kids mom but she will most likely not be helping so the family is asking for help to cover her portion of the court fees.

The boys are doing well with their dad and the dad would like to be finished with the court system and have the boys full time with him.

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.

A grandmother is caring for three of her grandchildren who are involved in the foster care system. One of the children would like to go see the production of WIZ this week at the Music Hall in KC. The family simply does not have extra funds for these sorts of experiences.

As she is a child, there would be a need for at least two tickets. The ticket cost would run around $100-180 total depending upon the seats. Tickets are selling quickly, and the show is later this week.
