A young person is in urgent need of a $200 Uber gift card to get to and from work, which is 20 minutes away. Right now, their entire paycheck is going toward paying for Ubers, leaving nothing left to save for a car. They're working hard, trying to stay consistent and build a better future, but the cost of transportation is making it incredibly difficult. This support would help lighten the load and give them a real chance to gain stability and keep moving forward.

Sibling set of four moved in with grandparents to help preserve cultural connections. Grandparents recently moved to a larger space to accommodate the youths.

Family needs help picking up equipment from a storage unit and bringing it to their home. This will ensure siblings can maintain in a safe and appropriate placement.

Four children have reintegrated back home with their mother and father. Due to family having bug issues they had to get rid of their previous two twin mattresses. The beds would be for the twin 9 year old girls.

The family is from another country, and the mother and father speak two different dialects of language, so drop off of the beds would need to be coordinated through an interpreter or through me, I would be happy to help, since it is more complicated than normal.

A sibling set of 11, 13, and 15-years-old have recently come into care and are in need of beds!

The 13 and 15-year-old boys will be sharing a room and are looking for two twin size beds and mattresses. The 11-year-old girl has a room of her own and is looking for a twin- or full-size bed and mattress. As of right now the children are sleeping on inflatable mattresses.

We are looking for:

• 2 twin sized beds and mattresses
• 1 full sized bed and mattress

This request is for a father who is working really hard to get his daughter in his care.

The family moved from Iowa to live with family member’s in a trailer home, they have limited space and trash has piled up and smell is lingering in the home, they needed to work on cleaning to keep child safe. The family is needing help with a dumpster and carpet cleaning. The family moved in with additional family and is a lower-income home. Using a church dumpster is also an option for this family.

Good afternoon! I am requesting community assistance to support a pregnant older youth on my caseload and help get her Breast Pump for when they are born in Sep 2025. My youth in question is 19 and in care of the MO Children's Division. She is presently living in an transitional apartment program in Kansas City and working on how to live and work independently. My youth works part time but has very little to no family support and thus she has limited financial means to get some of the more expensive items needed to care for a newborn including this one. A Breast Pump is one of the more expensive and crucial items needed for a baby so therefore any help to get this item would be most appreciated. My youth would like this one specifically, but she is open to other options as long it is a safe and well-reviewed:

A single mother caring for her five children is working diligently to maintain a stable and organized home. With so many moving parts in a large household, she's seeking help in creating a clear and consistent daily routine. We are requesting a whiteboard and chore chart supplies to help her implement a visual system for household responsibilities.

This simple yet effective tool will empower the family to work together, ease the mother’s daily workload, and encourage the children to take active roles in the upkeep of their home. Supporting this request will provide structure and stability that can strengthen the family’s placement and help them thrive in their current living environment.

Need:

• Whiteboard (36x24 size preferred)
• Chore chart materials (dry-erase markers, magnets, adhesive charts, or printable templates)
• Optional: mounting hardware or easel

Delivery Info: We can coordinate drop-off or pick-up as needed. Your support in providing this resource can make a lasting difference in this family’s daily life.

Thank you for your heart to serve and help families stay strong and united!

9 years old girl placed with a Non Relative Kinship (NRKIN) Placement and has been with the family since April. The family has been such a big support to her and her older brother, also in foster care with the family, and that support has included meeting their needs along with the family's three biological children.

To ensure she remains active during the summer and continues to have a normal as possible childhood, the family paid $95 for a summer pool pass for Youngs Pool in Overland Park, Kansas. She enjoys swimming and the family would appreciate any monetary support for her access to the pool.

The family is only receiving $17.64 for her and her brother daily until they are fully licensed with DCF, which may not be for a another month. Unexpectedly becoming a foster parent, along with three biological children, is incredibly difficult and demanding so any assistance to provide support to this family is greatly appreciated.

6/12/25- This is still a need. Thank you for considering.

5 children are in need of summer clothing and shoes. Mom Just got a new job and was homeless. She has been saving all her money to try and find a place to live.

In hopes to assist one of our youth with his new adventure, he has made an Amazon Wish List! This young adult (18, M) is hopeful to have some things to get him started on his own and set up his apartment! He's worked very hard these past several months to graduate, get his driver's license and necessary documents and go through interviews for his new housing. He is moving in June 4 and very excited! He would love any help!
