New Life Church

Hello, I have a case with four children who are split between housing with an uncle and a grandmother. The children are beginning to adjust to the changes and the placements have had to fund many things to bring these children into the homes. As the school year is ending and the families are adjusting they could each use some assistance with food. Since these families are out of the state a VISA gift card would be the most helpful as our grocery stores are not the same. The families have been using their local food pantries to help, but often do not get things such as meat, eggs and milk in this assistance. Even something like $100 for each home would be beneficial, but of course any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this request.

he Department is working with a family with a 1-year-old boy. They are currently in need of financial assistance with rent. The father recently switched jobs and the mother recently lost her job after missing work for mental health reasons. She is currently interviewing for new jobs. They are struggling with this expense as a result. The mother has completed her treatment and the father is in compliance with every aspect of his treatment plan, fully unsupervised with their baby, and nearing case closure. Assistance with this need so that the family can keep their child in home as they work towards case closure is greatly appreciated!

Hello - We have a mother that recently relocated to Delaware in the hopes that she would have access to more family supports and resources to utilize in her recovery. Unfortunately, the support and resources have fell through and mom is stranded there trying to get back to Colorado. If someone would be able to fund her ticket home, she would be able to participate in her family time in person and re-engage in programs in order to work quicker towards reunification with her son who is placed in foster care. Flight will be from Philadelphia to Denver.

Hello Community Supporters! We are holding our annual Kinship/Foster Parent Appreciation Celebration in June! Kinship families are unique in that they take placement of children on an emergency basis who they have a prior relationship with in order to prevent children from being placed in the foster-care system. Showing our appreciation will ensure we can maintain these vital resources in child welfare and hopefully encourage others to help in ways they are able and advocate for children with DHS involvement. The Kinship/Foster Care Unit is hoping to be able to provide gift cards through a raffle to each family at the event in the amount of $50 for grocery stores, Walmart or Target, or other locations in town where items for the family can be purchased. Another option is to provide specific items to raffle off to the families such as fun activities for the children or gift baskets, be creative!

A baby boy (1 month) has been placed in foster care due to being exposed to substances in utero. Tests have shown that he cannot tolerate milk proteins and requires a special formula that is $75 for just one can. His foster mother is applying for WIC assistance, but until that gets approved, a Walmart gift card would be so incredibly appreciated! Thank you for your generosity!

This request is for a teenage youth who is currently placed with kin-like caregivers and has expressed to caregivers and the Caseworker that he feels ready to begin driver's education classes and earn his driver's license, which would help him find employment. The youth would like to be enrolled in the American Driving Academy's Colorado Springs Full Program. The Full Program includes 30-Hour Classroom Learning, Driver’s Permit Test, and 6 Hours of Behind-the-Wheel Instruction. The total cost of the program is estimated to be $495.00. This need being met by the community would greatly ease the financial stress of this youth's kin-like placement, who took in the youth unexpectedly
