Story
There are children under our care whose mother has been striving for reunification with them. The agency seeks assistance for the mother. Currently, she is unemployed and is actively seeking employment. She is a Licensed Practical Nurse. An opportunity for employment has arisen with a local agency. However, she requires assistance to cover the fees necessary for renewing her certificate/license. In order to secure employment, she must comply with the requirements set by NY State, which include: Renewing her New York LPN registration, submitting a renewal application, completing the online renewal process via the NYSED Office of the Professions' Online Registration Renewal system, paying a renewal fee of $73 along with a processing fee of $10.95, updating her CPR/AED certificate for $25, and fulfilling CE requirements. I would like to request assistance with these fees, as the mother is currently unable to afford these expenses. Providing her with support for these fees will contribute to a brighter future and financial stability for her three young children. Therefore, I would like to request a gift card in the amount of $125 to enable her to complete her application online.
