I am working with three children (13, 6, and 4) who are placed with their maternal grandparents who plan to adopt them in the near future.
The 13 y/o is in eighth grade and his school is going on a class trip in May of 2024 to Washington D.C. and New York. My kiddo has never expressed interest in much and he is often shut down and does not like engaging in activities like this, but he has expressed a high interest in going on this class trip. He lost his mother to an overdose about three months ago, so all of us are very excited to see him coming out of his shell a bit more since this difficult loss. The cost is about $2000 and the family understands the cost is a lot and will make whatever payments they need. Any assistance in funding this trip would be appreciated by myself and the family! I put $50 in the needs box, but any amount is appreciated.

This family is composed of mom and 3 children. They just moved to CO to get away from a domestic violence relationship with the children's father. There are also concerns regarding someone in dad's family sexually abusing the children. Mom moved to CO to escape that as well. Mom has been working really hard to keep her children safe. Mom has been looking for jobs every day since she has been here and at the same time has been working to enroll her child into school, get therapy for her son, and apply for CCAP so that her youngest two children can have child care so she can work to support the family. Mom has not asked me for much help but she is struggling right now handling everything on her own. Mom is worried that she is going to lose her car because she owes $400 by the end of next week (on 9/22). Mom does not have money to pay this right now because with everything going on she has not yet been able to start working. Mom is still actively trying get a job and begin working as soon as possible. Mom is worried that if she looses her car, she will not be able to get to work, get her kids to school/daycare, or take her kids to their therapy. Mom has worked so hard to move away from an unsafe environment and assure that her kids are safe. I am looking to see if there is anyone who can help support her in paying the monthly pymt of $400 or the remaining balance of $2700.

Navigator working with a family of 4 who is needing help with clothes for their new baby boy. Mom is currently not working due to having a baby in July.

Navigator is working with a single mother who was just evicted from her home with her 3 kids. This mother is also a victim of the food assistance fraud so many are dealing with right now. All of the money was stolen from this mothers EBT card. The State is working to resolve the issue but in the meantime this mother is struggling to find money to feed her children. Mom could really use a King Soopers gift card to help get her through until the State resolves the issue with her food benefits card.

Eight year old girl in kinship care would benefit from a room divider. She shares a room with her 13 year old brother who has autism. They get along mostly but there are times they fight and it would be nice if they were able to have some privacy when they feel like they need space. A folding room divider would be beneficial to provide space for both children and keep the peace in the home when emotions are elevated.
