We have a beautiful, sweet 14 year old girl that is non verbal autistic. Her tablet is her world, but she is in need of a new one. Without her tablet she is lost. We are looking for help to get her a new tablet. One that comes in a strong, protective case, similar to what you would get for a toddler. She likes the color blue if possible.

Two young sisters, ages 3 and 5, were recently sheltered and placed in foster care due to circumstances beyond their control. Bright, energetic, and full of curiosity, they are now adjusting to the many changes that come with entering care. Recently placed with a non-relative caregiver, the girls are being supported by someone who, though not related by blood, has stepped into the role with deep compassion and commitment. The caregiver is working hard to meet their emotional and developmental needs and has seen how much the girls thrive in safe, enriching environments where they can explore, learn, and feel secure. One such place is the local zoo.

A zoo membership would offer more than access to exhibits. It would provide a structured, sensory rich space where the girls can build positive memories, channel their energy, and grow through joyful learning experiences. For the caregiver, it’s a valuable resource that supports both the children’s well-being and the stability of their daily routine. We respectfully ask you to consider supporting this request. A zoo membership would help create lasting, healing experiences for two young girls during a critical time in their lives, offering not just fun, but the chance to feel safe, seen, and supported while they heal.

This 4 month old boy has been placed in the care of his grandfather. The grandfather has requested help to get the child a Sit Me Up Interactive Supportive Baby Seat so that he can more fully engage and interact with the child.

The children have been sharing an open living space, lacking the comfort of a bedroom. A dedicated space has been created, but with only a single queen bed, it’s not meeting their needs. To provide stability and reduce tensions, the caregiver has requested twin bunk beds and a futon, which would fit in the available bedroom. These would give each child their own place to rest, promoting a sense of security - especially for one child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, for whom structure and personal space are vital.

Two female, 12 and 14 year old and one male child 13 years old

An expecting mom who aged out of the foster system is in need of a stroller that can support her and her baby through the newborn stage. Ideally, we're looking for a stroller that either comes with an infant car seat—something safe, functional, and convertible to help her transition from hospital visits to everyday outings with ease. As she prepares to welcome her baby mid June 2025, she’s doing her best to gather the essentials on a limited budget. Any support from the community would make a huge difference. Thank you for considering this request and for supporting a young mom at the beginning of her parenting journey.
