There is a courageous mother who has triumphed over substance abuse, and she is resolutely committed to maintaining her sobriety while creating a joyful and healthy environment for her four children.

Thank you for your support for this mom new beginning.

There is a family with six wonderful children, three boys and three girls, who are in need of three bunk beds. At the moment, they are sharing a single bed, which is not ideal for their comfort and well-being. Despite the efforts of the Department of Social Services to find community resources, none are available right now. Your support could make a significant difference in their lives.

I am a social worker working a family that is at risk of having their electricity turned off. Mom and Dad have three children and both work and have been able to afford their monthly bills previously, however, one of their children was recently admitted to CMH due to a traumatic brain injury. Due to this injury, Mom has had to stop working as pt now requires assistance with all daily living activities and requires 24/7 supervision for his safety and safety of others. As family has lost that income, they are now behind on their electric bill and at risk of having it turned off. The minimum payment to keep service on is $155.00. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated by family. Thank you for your consideration.

The company that mom works for has moved to St. Louis causing her to lose her job of 23 years. She is currently cleaning office buildings to get by, but she is not making enough to cover all of her bills. She needs help with rent. They have rented the same house for 12 years, so luckily her rent is relatively low. She has applied for LIHEAP and has reached out to other community partners but none have the funding to help. She is working with the Jackson County Prevention Team to ensure success moving forward. Mom and kids escaped a relationship of domestic violence; mom is doing everything she can to provide for and keep her two children safe. Assistance in paying this rent would be life changing for this family.

A 12-year-old child is placed in a Department of Mental Health home to meet her needs as she has several diagnoses including autism spectrum disorder. This child has a history of causing damage to furniture items when she is escalated, in the past six months the child has broken two TVs in the living room. The DMH company has replaced the TV once already and we would like to try to alleviate the financial burden, while also finding a solution to this issue with a case. Please consider donating a television case to allow the children in the home to enjoy their favorite cartoons and prevent future damage with a protective case.

Jackson County Children's Division is seeking assistance in supplying a family who is in need of Uber gift cards to help them get around town & to attend their visitation with their 4-month-old son. It seems to be that having a vehicle and stable housing are the only barriers this family is facing that might be preventing them from reunifying within the time frame they would like to reunify in. Otherwise, they are doing absolutely everything & more to be able to ensure they are prepared for their little one to come home. This couple is doing exceedingly well on their progress towards sobriety and reunification with their son! The couple is 120 days sober from ALL substances and are actively participating in all services at this time! The couple is SO determined to reunify with their son, that they took it upon themselves to join other additional support groups on top of what they're required to participate in. They have even provided me as a caseworker with other resources within the local community that I hadn't known about, to then research and give out to other clients to help them! That is one of the many reasons as to why I enjoy working with this family so much. I am very proud of this couple and am hopeful that Care Portal will be able to find something to assist this couple in finding transportation vouchers. As always, thank you for your time and consideration from Jackson County Children's Division! We are so grateful to be partnered with an organization like yours!

This request is for a 20-year-old who will age out of foster care in the next five months. He is enrolled in a diesel mechanic training program and is motivated to start his career. He has an hourly job, but can only work limited weekend hours now due to his vocational training, which is unpaid. He pays his own rent and car insurance, recently bought a car, does not receive food stamps, and saves money to pay for gas to visit his two younger siblings who are also in foster care. Up until this year, he has paid his rent in full, but he currently owes $800 in back rent and is struggling to afford groceries due to his unpaid vocational training. Meeting his needs will help him maintain independent living, avoid eviction, and cover groceries so that he can complete vocational training and have a successful career when he ages out of foster care.
