This teen is African American and needs her hair to be braided at a salon. She is wearing a bonnet because she needs her hair done which is a vital part of her heritage and cultural expression. This teen's family is from Liberia and her aunt works at a salon and can do her hair tomorrow but it will cost $150. The foster home and bio mom need assistance in paying for her hair to be braided.

We have experienced an increase in domestic violence cases the past several months, and at times we are placing kids with relatives or an abused person is staying in the home while filing an ex parte. We are hoping to get some supplies in the office to help supply some needs that could assist with safety. We plan to include a list of tips to help a family buy some time if their abuser breaks into the home. Unfortunately, we have had a few cases that could have used some extra safety measures and might have made a difference to the outcome. I am asking for a few supplies for us to be able to give to some families if needed in an emergency situations. All items can be found on amazon. Thank you!

We have a parent who has visits each week with his child, and due to a financial hardship has less income the next few weeks and they asked for some help to provide food for their visit. They asked if we could get a gift card to Wendy's to help out. The parent views having a meal together with their child as important bonding time. They have not asked for help prior to this and have always provided before.

This child in our community faces serious safety concerns, having experienced the unsettling situation of being followed home from school. This family is in dire need of a Ring doorbell camera, which would empower the mother to monitor the comings and goings at their home, providing an added layer of security and peace of mind. Together, we can help protect this family and ensure a safer environment for their child.

An 18-year-old male in a two-parent household is needing the community's assistance in obtaining groceries for their home. This older youth has had an incident of racoons falling through his ceiling in his room of their apartment home. Due to this incident, the family is re-locating to another apartment advised by their landlord but is needing support in obtaining groceries while the family replaces their son's belongings that were contaminated by the racoons. Any help would greatly benefit this family. The 18-year-old has just graduated from High School and is actively participating in the employee council to obtain employment, on top of applying to nearby areas.

My mother is presently at Sheffield Place, who have a two-year-old who is in need of some new clothing and sandals. We are looking for size 6 sandals and clothes in a size 2T. Your support in helping us find these items would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Children have been taken care of by paternal grandmother. They live with cousins as well and have no furniture. She is asking for two sets of twin bunk beds, one twin bed, two full sized beds, and a sleeper couch for her to sleep on as well. I observed home with only three lawn chairs in living room and two mattresses in one of the bedrooms and some toys, but no other furniture.

Children do not have beds and have a small space for how many people are living in home.

Family of four (one mom, three teenage children) whose youngest son suffers from significant cognitive delays due to autism. He is prone to hyperactivity and aggression when frustrated. His constant supervision and care needs have put significant burdens on the family. The family is engaged with caseworkers, however, the son's aggression led him to break his mother's phone (Samsung Galaxy A16 5G) causing issues with the consistent communication needed to help coordinate his care needs across multiple areas. She has recently gotten it repaired but was interested in getting a durable case, preferably one with a screen protector to prevent her son from breaking it further as this has been an ongoing issue with her phone and other electronics in the home.

This request is for a father who is working really hard to get his daughter in his care. This father is doing all the steps and is now able to progress to unsupervised visits and soon he will have overnight visits. The father is asking for a car seat to help him transport the child safely now that he is able to have extended time with her.
