Grandparents took in their grandchildren as a last minute request so they had little time to prepare. The kids are 4 and 8 years old, and did not come with much clothing, so they're in need of clothes for the summertime. If they could get help with a giftcard to purchase clothing, that would be so appreciated. They shop at Walmart, Target, Kohls, Ross etc. Any help with any amount and store is greatly appreciated!

This mother is in need of a gas card for $30. She commutes from Sheridan, she is currently pregnant and would use the gas card for the drive for her visits.

A 15yr old female who has been abused, abandoned, and separated from siblings, struggles with her self-worth. She was in a group home setting for the past 3 years. This week she learned her mother was arrested and will be in prison for the remainder of her childhood. She has moved to a foster family and this foster family sees how this adolescent will process her hurts through music. She is requesting a keyboard so she can start to play her own music and process her hurts, her pain, and her fears in this avenue. Foster parents are looking to set her up with piano lessons that will assist in a therapeutic manner. For the piano lesson details, this teen will need an 88 key keyboard that is weighted or semi-weighted. She and this family will be grateful for your support in providing the tool that will support self-worth and processing of hard. We are hoping this tool (the keyboard) will bring joy to this teen's heart.

A youth moved in with her paternal aunt's home as the youth has a lot of mental health concerns that were not being taken serious in her father's home. Additionally, the home is considered a hoarder's home and the youth did not have a safe, appropriate place to sleep. Youth's aunt stepped up and offered to care for her as she knows how important it is for the youth to receive mental health support and live in a clean, safe environment. The aunt moved out of her bedroom to give to her niece so her niece has a her own room and safe space. The only thing the family requested is a tall dresser for the youth to be able to put her clothes and items in.

We're currently working with a family that has had to abruptly move due to their young sons being around negative influences and causing them to get into trouble. Due to the move they're needing help with beds for the children as they are currently sleeping on the floor. The move has been a great positive change for these children and we'd like for them to start getting better sleep.

A young boys grandmother recently took him in due to his parents not being safe. Grandma is a on very fixed income and couljd really use help with clothing for her grandson. She's got her hands full t13c in kids shoes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a client with a sweet infant in need. The infant was born with multiple genetic conditions. He is getting surgery on his skull in a month to correct fused sutures (a first step in his upcoming medical journey). At a recent physical therapy appointment, the therapist requested the family get a specific chair for the child to sit in (Go To Link This family is doing an amazing job addressing baby's physical challenges, but they are having a hard time financially. The family looked to some other programs for support in getting the chair but had no luck. The hope is that with this chair, the child will be able to develop appropriate muscle groups and keep his head off the floor once he has his helmet in place (for many upcoming months), making it more comfortable for him.

A bonus request from the nurse: The chair is a priority, but knowing that the family is in a tight financial spot, I would also like to request a large can or two of Enfamil Gentlease Formula (they are on WIC, so they get enough for about 3 weeks of the month...but could use some extra to make sure baby has enough to have nutritional needs met for full month).

Thank you for your sincere consideration. The family is so grateful (and doing such a great job loving their little guy while he goes through a tough infancy).

I'm working with a single mom who is participating in the Prevention Program, which is voluntary. She just moved to Colorado a few months ago with her four children and does not have any furniture. She works as a CNA and does not have much family support in Colorado. The only furniture this single mom has are beds for her children. She is in need of a bed for herself, large couch, kitchen table, coffee table, and 2 lamps. Her apartment doesn't have a ceiling light. She would really appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you!

A family of two - a single mom and her 11 year old son - are in great need at this time. The mom is unhoused and doing everything she can to get by. She is very resourceful and accesses the public library and various community resources for assistance. She is in need of personal supplies such as hygiene products, non-perishable food items, clothing, and items for her son. She would greatly benefit from a gift card to Walmart to be able to get these supplies. She is working hard to become employed, gain stability, and be able to care for herself and her son, and this gift card would make a huge difference for this family! 2. For mom: Medium clothes, 8 in women's for shoes; for kiddo: 8-10 and a 6 in boys' shoes. They've been homeless for a long time and many of the belongings that she and kiddo once had were stolen, lost, or damaged, so it would be really meaningful for him to have something from mom that he can keep and have with him. He ha very recently been removed from mom and placed in a foster home.

I have two girls (10 and 9) on my caseload, their mom has severe mental health issues, and their dad is incarcerated, and they are being raised by their grandparents who struggle financially. The grandparents are doing the best they can for the girls but they need help getting the girls tablets so they can continue to engage in counseling online, play games and interact with their friends.

Both girls would like a tablet so i am asking for two but one will be good- they share everything so i think it will all be okay if we only receive one.
