Coconino CASA for Kids appreciates all you do for the vulnerable population involved in the child welfare system. We want to help reduce the hardship and anxiety stemming from difficult and often traumatic circumstances. We are here to help the following groups with basic needs and wants, including orthodontics:
1. A child or youth aged 0-21 with a dependency originating within Coconino County, regardless of where the child or youth is placed.
2. A child or youth aged 0-21 placed in Coconino County but with a dependency in an Arizona county other than Coconino County.
3. A child or youth aged 0-21 that DCS has identified as at risk and needing support to prevent a dependency; and,
4. A young adult who aged out of the DCS system but is continuing to receive support from DCS.
5. CCFK will also help families living in Coconino County with the safety equipment needed to become a licensed foster care home.
If you apply for assistance with orthodontics, we need a copy of the treatment plan and payment plan from the orthodontist. This review will take longer than for other grant requests.
Other sources of funds for basic needs and wants are: Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation, AZ 1.27 (the care portal) and Helping Hands.
