Story
Our child welfare team has a male teen (15) that has been in custody since 2017. There wasn't a lot of hope for this teen as far as reunifying with bio mom at time of removal and years after, but we are happy to say his world has turned around. Bio mom has been in his life for over half a year now, turned her life around and has uplifted the whole spirit of the case and the mindset of this young teen. Our male teen has never been placed within our Pottawatomie County area, and now with the help of one of our foster mom's, she has agreed to take placement, so he is able to be closer to his mom, have more visits, and a faster road to reunification. Our male has been from shelter to shelter and has lost items and had items stolen, foster mom is wanting to get him enrolled in school, so he is able to start participating in sports as he has always wanted. Child welfare is asking for help in clothing this fella, as he has very little, and his permanency worker has reached out to most clothes closets in the area with little luck. It would be a big help to aid this foster mom as she has five other children in the home. Child welfare would like to help foster mom instead of her paying out of pocket as we all know clothing for teens can be awfully expensive. Any help with this would be so great and very much appreciated.
