Hello, This request is to help support a mother in paying for daycare summer program cost. The request is for $160 in visa gift card. There is also an option to pay to the daycare directly.

Any consideration is appreciated. Thank you!

Foster mom has anywhere between 3 and 5 teenagers in her home at any given time. She works will all of her placements on independent living skills to include helping them get jobs and extra curriculars. Currently she has a 13 year old and 16 year old girl that would really benefit from bikes. The 16 year old is currently walking about a mile each way for work and a bike would significantly help in maintain this job. Additionally, the 16 year old helps watch the 13 year old over school breaks so a bike for each girl would be used during this time. Their foster mom has paid for them to have a gym membership that is within biking distance but she is not always available to transport them. Thank you!

A Single mom and her two children have been approved to move into a transitional housing unit after years of unstable housing. This will be the first "safe" living environment this family unit has experienced and Mom is beyond excited. This family has no extra income to purchase needed supplies for their home. Request is for a Walmart gift card so the family can purchase mattress protectors and bedding sets.

Mom and her two children who are have been living between unstable housing situations for several years have been approved for a year long transitional housing unit. This unit is unfurnished and the family has no extra income to furnish or purchase supplies. Many of the household items can be found through community partners through donation, however it would mean a great deal for this family to have brand new mattresses to sleep on. Need is for 3 mattresses, one queen, two twin. Links for low cost mattresses below:

A mother of a nine-month-old child is in need of two safety gates. She is using cardboard in order for the child not to go to the kitchen or to the bedroom. If she gets support with this request, the child can move around in a safety area.

A youth needs to receive driver's education classes in order to support her grandparents with transportation. This youth is planning to remain in her grandparents home and is willing to support them by driving to school and any other needs that require her driving. These classes will be very beneficial to support her family.

Caseworker is requesting a $200.00 gift card to Amazon or Walmart to help with a 2-year-old girl that was placed with family yesterday. Due to emergency, 2-year-old child was removed from the home and placed with family. She was dropped off with only a backpack full of clothes. She has no shoes, a few pull-ups, and no car seat. Family is requesting assistance with supplies and especially a car seat. Child is in 4T, 7/8 shoes. She loves Bluey.

This kinship provider is in need of some financial assistance with groceries. There are multiple kiddos in the home and the provider could use some support. Any help is appreciated!!

girl (4) is placed with her great aunt, who is a long term placement option for the child. The family could benefit from a secondary booster seat with a back to be able to safely transport in either vehicle at any time.

Mom needs a toddler bed and toddler bed mattress for her 3 year old little girl who has been co-sleeping with mom. Mom also shares this room with two other children. This would allow mom to put the youngest next to her in her own bed and allow mom to sleep better at night and allow for the child to get her own bed.

This mother is needing a high chair (preferably a small booster seat style) to assist with her mobility to take her one year old out into the community. Mom is visually impaired and this would be a great support to her independence.

The Department is working with a mother whose 1-year-old is currently placed in foster care while she addresses the concerns that caused the case to open. She is in need of a replacement car seat. She is getting started in all services and highly motivated to have her child returned to her care. Any assistance with this need so that this mother can work towards reunification is greatly appreciated!
