The Sharing Shed

Two young children are currently in foster care and we would like to place them with relatives. In order to do this the Aunt is in need of 2 twin beds for the children. If you could assist with this request, it would be greatly appreciated so they could be placed with family.

one baby leaving the NICU needs bottles (various baby supplies), baby monitors, and a baby gate. the four-year-old sister needs a toddler bed. the kids are placed with family members in wentzville and could use assistance obtaining these items.

A 4 year old and 6 month old came into protective custody and are in dire need of car seats for their new foster placement. At this time their placement is without car seats for both boys and has no way to transport them to daycare, doctors appointments, or therapy for the 4 year old.

Hello! I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out today to share about a teen in our community who was recently reunified with her father through a trial home placement. They have just moved into a new apartment and are in need of some basic furnishings to make their space feel like home. If you are able and willing to help, they would especially appreciate assistance with a couch, preferably in grey to match their style. Any gently used or new items you could donate would make a big difference in supporting this family as they begin this important new chapter.

A teen girl came into custody due to neglect which included poor living conditions and meeting of basic needs. A relative took in the teen (who is now 18) and they are in need of a queen sized bed, 4 storage totes and a 5 lb. fire extinguisher.

Two year old male and ten year old female came into Children's Division custody due to substance abuse of the parents that directly affected the children. An aunt stepped up to take the children into her care. They are in need of several items to help welcome the children and make the home ready to be licensed as a kinship foster home. Family is in need of a dining room table and chairs, 4 baby gates, 2 packs of outlet covers, 2 packs of cabinet locks, 2 carbon monoxide detectors and 7 smoke alarms. The family will also need help installing the items. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Three of the family of four children are of the age in which that can have fun and enjoy summer activities with other children. Unfortunately, these children are not in the position to take advantage of the opportunities so many others take for granted. I am making this request so that these children can experience so much of the same as their peers.

A mother with 4 children is wanting a fresh start in a new town, Waynesville area. She has been homeless and the father of her children passed a few years back. She has an opportunity to move and work on an Army Base but has been struggling paying for hotels until she finds housing. She needs help paying for moving expenses/getting set up at the new home to help make this transition easier on her and her family. She can't fit her whole family into a U-Haul with seating, so she will need a vehicle as well as a trailer and hitch. We have estimated the cost to be about $350.

I have a family that needs support and due to financial barriers they do have a lot of needs currently. The family has 5 children and two adults living in an RV. There one mode of transportation is in need of a repair, and oil/ oil change. The RV does not have a working AC unit and has a leaking roof. I am seeking assistance with the payment for repairs or a generous handyman to help with the repairs to ensure the family is safe and well being is met. Lastly they need more propane in order to cook and make meals for their family. The family has recently lost their job, and they have used their money to pay rent, and take care of other needs which has left them in a very unfortunate situation. Please consider providing services if monetarily is not the best fit for you helping this family. Thank you.
