👟🌞 Helping a Supermom of 7! Summer Support Needed

We’re hoping to rally some support around an incredible single foster mom who is currently caring for seven amazing kids—yes, seven! She’s doing an incredible job juggling everything on her own, but could really use a little extra help this summer.

Right now, she’s in need of:

🍼 A stroller that can hold a car seat—something that makes outings a little easier and more manageable with the littlest ones in tow. 👗 Summer clothes for her 16-year-old daughter, who wears a junior size 2-3 pants and size medium shirts. Light, breathable clothing for the season would be a huge blessing!

This mama is showing up with so much love and dedication every single day, and meeting these practical needs would go a long way in lightening her load and reminding her she’s not alone.

💛 Thank you for considering how you might help support this family—it’s the little things that make a big difference.

The stroller need may be being met.

Clothing sizes are for 16 year old girl, pants/jeans size 2 or 3 and size medium shirts are still a need.

We are requesting a twin or full size bed for a child who will be reunifying with her mother. The mother is preparing for her child to come back home and is needing assistance with obtaining a bed for her child.

We are requesting a motel night for 2 more nights. The mother and small child are waiting on an opening at a shelter or for the alleged perp to be moved from the shared residence. We thought this would happen today, but it is not going to move as fast as we wanted. Shelters have been contacted and waiting on an opening or approval. The mother and child could use a gas card and some food either taken to them or by way of gift card to price chopper or hyvee.

There is a family that is needing 2 high back booster seats in order to safely transport the children. Thank you!

During the home walkthrough, it became evident that this family, with four wonderful children sharing a bunk bed, would benefit immensely from having individual beds for each child. We strongly advocate for providing a bunk bed with mattresses for this family, ensuring that every child has their own space to rest and dream. Thank you for your support for this family.

I currently have a single mom who has 10 kids who is in need of some beds or cots to help make her apartment more livable for her family. She is working so hard at getting the apartment together and really making it a home for the kids. She could really use the support from her community right now. She could use 2 full beds + bedding sets or some cots for the kids so they can have a place to sleep. She would really appreciate any help her community can help her with. Thank you so much in advance!

Children's Division is currently working with a family that is need of bedding! single mother of 6 is currently working on relocating on her own thru the help of the state. During our visits it was brought to our attention the air mattress the children were sleeping on have broken. The children have been sleeping on the floor and CD is trying to help the mom get a couple more air mattress, Cots, or even a couple mattress of this family to have better sleeping arrangements. Ages of the children vary and anything to help is much appreciated. Extra pillows, blankets, sheets, all is acceded.

This family requires a medical lock box to ensure that medications are securely stored and inaccessible to the child. Thank you in advance.

Dad is having trouble finding a job as a felon. The mother left the baby and he is trying to remain connected with the baby. He needs and wants to visit everyday but not having money for gas is making it hard for him to visit. He wants to keep a strong bond with his daughter. He is needing gas cards to help him go see his daughter more.

We have a mother who has to move today 6/30/2025 and has a place to go in Platte City but her child's medical equipment needs a small u haul or SUV/VAN to move. We are requesting help to move items. The new place is fully furnished so there should not be a lot that needs moved.

This single mother recently moved to the Kansas City area looking for a better life for herself and her four children, ages 15-7 years old. One of the children is diagnosed with Spina Bifida, a condition where the spinal cord did not fully close in the womb, as a result this child has had multiple surgeries and may require more. The family is does not currently have beds and are sleeping on the floor of the home they are renting. The child with Spina Bifida had an inflatable mattress, but the mattress was punctured, so he is also sleeping on the floor. Being so new to the area, the family has not made many connections, so their support system is very limited. Any assistance for this family would be much appreciated and will go a long way into ensuring that the children are comfortable in their new home. Thank you for your consideration!

Mother of 3 children is dealing with some mental health problems and the father is being kicked out of the home. He is trying to keep kids and stay with sister. He is asking for help in providing groceries for the home/kids.
