Hello I am reaching out to request a 5 point car seat for a family that is in need of this item urgently. This placement is absolutely perfect for the children and provide a stable and loving home. The only thing that is really missing is proper car seat so that the child can be safely transported while they stay there. Thank you for your consideration and generosity.

A single mother of 2 children is working on escaping a domestic violence marriage and is in need of transportation assistance so she is able to go file for an ex-parte protection order. She is in need of an uber/lyft gift card.

This teen is African American and needs her hair to be braided at a salon. She is wearing a bonnet because she needs her hair done which is a vital part of her heritage and cultural expression. This teen's family is from Liberia and her aunt works at a salon and can do her hair tomorrow but it will cost $150. The foster home and bio mom need assistance in paying for her hair to be braided.

Children have been taken care of by paternal grandmother. They live with cousins as well and have no furniture. She is asking for two sets of twin bunk beds, one twin bed, two full sized beds, and a sleeper couch for her to sleep on as well. I observed home with only three lawn chairs in living room and two mattresses in one of the bedrooms and some toys, but no other furniture.

Children do not have beds and have a small space for how many people are living in home.

There is a family in which an 8 year old is admitted to the hospital's cardiac intensive care unit. He was born with a genetic disorder that has a higher chance of attacking the child's heart if and when the child gets a virus. Last week the child was fighting off a virus which did target his heart and the family was told he had hours left to live. Through prayers and resilience the boy remains admitted and his heart function is approving. The family continues to pray and support him as he gains strength with the goal of getting their son back home. The Dad in the family has used all of his PTO to be at his son's bedside. He is now back at work as he cannot risk losing his job however he had to take unpaid time off when he was here at the hospital! The family is struggling to pay rent (and any money towards rent would be beneficial). The family is also struggling paying for gas for his vehicle as Dad is driving to work, home and to the hospital every day. If a church is able to assist with any portion of rent or any gas assistance, it would go a LONG way for this family!

Mother to 4 children unexpectedly lost her job the last week of May and is unable to pay her rent this month. She is an army veteran who proudly served her country for many years, while she obtained her education to become a nurse. She was employed with KU med as a nurse until she lost her job which has left her short of funds for her rental payment for the month. She is actively looking for new employment and has been agreeable to several different DCF services and recommendations to assist her family in this stressful time. She is a full time caregiver to 14 and 16 year old children. She splits custody with her ex husband for her younger two children. She has been extremely cooperative with DCF and is hopeful the DCF case can be a starting point for a new life for her and her children. She is able to pay 700 dollars of her rent this month, however she will still owe 1100 dollars. Her rent is typically paid via venmo, but under the current circumstances her leasing company is willing to accept a check. She is grateful for any assistance offered to her in this stressful time.

In hopes to assist one of our youth with his new adventure, he has made an Amazon Wish List! This young adult (18, M) is hopeful to have some things to get him started on his own and set up his apartment! He's worked very hard these past several months to graduate, get his driver's license and necessary documents and go through interviews for his new housing. He is moving in June 4 and very excited! He would love any help!
