Story

•
6 Children 2 Adults

I have a youth on my caseload who is currently in a relative foster care placement, who he is with his 4 siblings in care. The foster parent's home is a rental, and their AC unit has gone down for the past three weeks. It was reported that they have not addressed the AC issues due to the challenges in the home which involved one of the youth's siblings going through some episodes due to their mental health. In addition, one of the foster parents has been in recovery due to a surgery. This worker is asking for support to help the family with portable AC units to help keep the home cool during the summer.

Due to the home being a rental, I do not know if CarePortal could provide support in servicing the ac unit and if that is an option, please let me know.

Updated on June 16, 2025 by an Agency Worker
The foster parent reported that the landlord will be sending someone to check the AC unit, however, foster parent is requesting assistance in portable ac units for the mean time because they do not know how long it will take to be fixed.

Updated on June 16, 2025 by an Agency Worker
In addition, as an option, if anyone could donate to lend portable ac units until their ac unit is fixed would be greatly appreciated as well.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We have a mom of four kiddos in need of any assistance available. She was in a hit and run accident in April where her car was totaled. She has applied to multiple loans and she continues to be denied. She would need a vehicle with third row seating to fit the family with car seats, etc. Anything available to help donate to a down payment for a vehicle, or if you know of someone willing to part with a vehicle for an affordable price would be greatly appreciated. The amount input in the request is for a down payment for a vehicle she has found locally to where she can make the monthly car payments. Thank you for any and all help! It is greatly appreciated.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This mom is trying to get set up with WIC, but she has not been able to get transportation for the appointments. She has been coming to us for help with diapers and formula, but she is needing a bit more to help her get through the month. WIC would be a great resource for her family to help with the cost of groceries and formula. The transportation would be for herself and her 10-month-old son. She has a car seat for him.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

V is a mom and grandma working hard to care for her two children and one grandson. She fell behind on her electric bill due to an illness and missing work and now it's shut off. They were able to stay last night at a friend's house but that's not feasible to do again. Any amount helps to stabilize this family and help prevent the need for foster care!
