Weaver - Austin

the child is 9 months and is placed in a foster home where she has been since she was 3 days old. This placement has continued to meet the needs of this child. The placement continues to engage the child in age-appropriate activities. They have recently been engaging in baby gymnastics which will help her continue to develop appropriately. The foster placement is wanting to continue engaging her in baby gymnastics. 240 would give her 2 months of memberships and allow her to participate in 3classes a week, open gym and interact with other babies as well.

We're serving a young man who has been involved with foster care for over a decade. He's been living successfully with a member of his biological family for the past two or so years and our team is working hard to support him in leaving foster care by appointing his current caregiver as his guardian. The family was recently able to move to a larger rented home which allows our youth in care to have his own personal space - it's a place he can call home as he continues growing up these next few years. The new home is located within a HOA which has strict requirements on lawn care. The family previously lived in an apartment community and they don't currently have the money to purchase a lawn mower. We are hoping that a member of the community may have an unneeded push lawn mower that we can provide to the family so that they can remain in good standing with the HOA board for their new home.

Mom needs assistance funding a driver's education course in order to reliably transport her children to daycare and doctor's appointments, as well as transport herself to work.

We are requesting support on behalf of a 43-year-old grandmother who has become the primary caregiver for her 6-month-old grandson and 2.5-year-old granddaughter. The children were unexpectedly left in her care by her teen daughter, and she has not received any outside support or resources to help meet their basic needs.

This kinship caregiver is doing her best to provide stability and safety for the children, but she is in urgent need of the following essential items:

Requested Items:

Double Stroller: Suitable for both an infant and toddler, to safely transport both children to medical appointments, grocery trips, and daily outings.

Clothing for 6-month-old boy: Sizes 6–9 months (onesies, sleepers, shorts, pants, socks, etc.)

Clothing for 2.5-year-old girl: Sizes 5T–6 (tops, bottoms, pajamas, socks, etc.)

Shoes for toddler girl: Size 8 (toddler)

Any assistance from the community to help meet these needs would be deeply appreciated. Your support will help this caregiver continue providing for these young children in a safe and nurturing environment.

A 16-year-old client is currently on probation and recently reentered the community after successfully completing residential treatment. His mother has been actively engaged with the Reentry Team through the Probation Officer and this Care Coordinator. Mother recently reported that she lost her employment due to many appointments for youth. She had talked to her employer about her situation and, initially, they had agreed to work with her but a few days later, June 23rd, she was dismissed. Mother stated that she is seeking fulltime employment as well as taking care of the home, and, in the meantime, she is delivering food with DoorDash. Mother reported that she is up to date with rent and gas, but she needs assistance paying for water and phone service which are due on July 15th. These essential services will help her maintain stability for her family while she continues seeking fulltime employment and will reduce the risk of her losing her housing as per Housing rules – utilities cannot be disconnected. Also living in the home are 9-year-old son and 23-year-old son who is diagnosed with a cognitive disability and requires supervision. It is important for this mother to maintain a stable housing situation as well as maintaining phone service to communicate with potential employers and community resources helping her find employment and other services. This stability is a critical to support the youth's successful completion of probation. Any help is much appreciated.”
