This family is in need of cleaning services to help get a handle on getting the home cleaned and helping with laundry and getting it put away. Parents for the children are receiving services for substance use and are not able to care for the children in a safe manner. Grandma has stepped in and is taking care of them.

There are 4 kids in this home, 3 are siblings and 1 is a cousin. Grandma is taking care of all 4 of them at this time. They have recently moved into this home and have fallen behind on keeping it clean and uncluttered. Grandma is very overwhelmed with all 4. Ages are from 6 months to 7 years old. CD has helped with some laundry and getting laundry soap and getting a few loads washed and dried. Case management has reached out to Hot Mess Moms, but they are not currently taking applications. Community Action of Greater Kansas City has also been contacted. Grandma has recently stopped working in order to care for her grandkids. Daycare is being looked at with help from CD. This family is very kind and accepting of help.

A grandmother has been caring for her infant granddaughter since she was released from the NICU and has been struggling to make ends meet since then. The baby recently celebrated her first birthday and is close to graduating from her special needs program!

Grandmother's washer recently started acting up and she does not have the money to cover the repairs, as her car is already needing work done. With infant clothes and toys constantly needing washed, this grandmother is in need of repairs as soon as possible to continue to care for her granddaughter. A local appliance repairman has estimated the cost of fixing (including service fees) to be around $120. We are asking for financial assistance to pay the invoice once repairs are completed.

Grandmother and child live in Harrisonville, we expect that the invoice can be paid over the phone.

Good afternoon. I am requesting community assistance to help a older pregnant homeless youth on my caseload with getting some temporary food assistance. The youth in question is 19, pregnant, and a MO Children's Division Foster Youth. The youth is 4-6 weeks pregnant and is currently couch surfing until a permanent safe placement option can be found for her. We are requesting $100 gift card at maybe Walmart to help the youth purchase food for the next month. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Good afternoon. I am requesting community assistance to help a 19 yr old pregnant homeless Foster Youth with getting a temporary storage unit to store her stuff until she can find stable housing. The youth in question is currently homeless and is couch surfing until we can locate a stable placement option. All of her personal items including clothing, , etc were being stored at a friends home but her "friend" no longer wants the items in her home and has threatened to throw everything out. We are requesting $150 to help with obtaining and paying for a 2-3 month storage unit so the youth has a safe place to store her belongings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Family is needing assistance with either first months rent or deposit on house. Familys current home is infested with fleas and mice. Parents report landlord has not been assisting with issue (January is when it started). Parents are on disability and fixed income. Family had to get rid of their mattresses and are sleeping on air mattresses at this time due to the fleas.

Parents struggle with getting transportation to and from their daughter's medical appointments. Their daughter has a lot of medical issues, which cause her to need numerous medical appointments a month. The mother, who is approximately 6 months pregnant, takes the bus and walks a great distance to get from the bus stops to her daughter's appointments. Any amount given towards this family will help. It would greatly strengthen the bond with the family as they work toward reunification and take some stress off mom, who is not only fighting for her baby back, but also carrying another life!

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.

The child is a 16-month-old who has been receiving their food/nutrition through a feeding tube. The child was recently approved to switch to receiving food by mouth. Therefore, the family is in need of a highchair to help assist during feeding times.

The client was preparing to leave for work when she began experiencing car trouble. Her boyfriend, who was present at the time, stepped outside to help. As he was working on the vehicle, a car pulled up behind them. Without warning, masked men jumped out and opened fire. Her boyfriend was shot three times. The client herself was struck in the face by a bullet. One of the bullets even pierced her child’s car seat, a haunting reminder of how close this tragedy came to being even worse.

Since this traumatic event, the client has faced significant emotional and financial hardship. The violence she endured has not only left her physically and emotionally scarred, but also derailed her ability to maintain financial stability. She is now struggling to get back on her feet and provide a safe home for her child.

She is currently behind on a critical utility bill totaling $1,195.64 a balance that is preventing her from moving into a new, safer home. She is humbly requesting $800 in assistance toward this bill to help regain stability and security for her and her child. Any support would be a lifeline during this incredibly difficult time.

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.

I have 2 foster kids who were recently placed on trial home visit with dad. Dad and girlfriend just had a baby and are down to 1 income. They are in need of some assistance with their electric bill. I would like to keep the children at home with dad and reunify the family. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

We have a mom of 3 in our program who was admitted to the hospital and is worried about providing her kids with school supplies for the year. They need thins like school pants, backpacks, folders, notebooks, etc. We are requesting a gift card to walmart to help this family get what they need. The kids go to Kauffman and are in grades from 7th-11th. If this request is met it will go towards helping this mom provide new school clothes and gear/supplies for her kids as they enter this next year of high school, which should otherwise be an exciting time for them. Thank you.
