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 are working with a caring grandmother who is taking care of her grandchildren full time, but she was diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. As a result of the therapy she is losing her hair, and it is causing her a lot of emotional distress, since she is not able to afford a wig. Helping her to feel dignified will make a significant difference in her life and will add to her emotional well-being and also that of her grandchildren.

I am reaching out on behalf of a family in need of support. The family consists of a devoted elderly woman who adopted her niece as a baby, stepping in to provide love and stability when the child was at risk of entering the foster care system. Now a teenager, this young woman is preparing to begin her senior year of high school—grieving the recent loss of her father while continuing to thrive academically. Despite the challenges they face, the teen has maintained straight A’s and has her heart set on attending Louisiana State University to pursue a career in forensics. She would be the first in her family to graduate from high school and attend college—an extraordinary milestone made possible by her resilience and her adoptive mother’s unwavering support. Due to her age, the adoptive mother is unable to work and lives on a very limited income, making it difficult to manage the growing expenses of senior year. However, she is determined to give her daughter the full experience she’s earned so she can feel the pride and joy of her accomplishments. I am requesting a $150 Visa gift card to help cover some of these expenses, including school supplies, a senior ring, and graduation items. This support would not only help ease a financial burden but would also be a meaningful investment in a young woman’s future and a celebration of all she has achieved.

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!

The family has been struggling to obtain housing and has been staying in various shelters and motels. They have an 11-month-old child and another baby on the way. The family is requesting support with a stroller that can convert to accommodate both children, as well as a high chair. Having these items would help them care for their children more independently.

Go To Link The family would prefer a new one, stated would be okay for used one for the 11-month-old, but would prefer a new one, since it’s a newborn. Go To Link

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.

A pair of brothers, ages 15 and 9 years old have been living in kinship care with their grandparents due to concerns of domestic violence and physical abuse by their stepfather. The boys came to their grandparents with limited clothing and hygiene products. The grandparents were able to get the boys some winter clothing when they came however, now that it is summer, the clothing they have for them is not weather appropriate. They are needing a gift card to be able to go purchase summer clothing that will fit and be appropriate for the boys over the summer. Grandparents live on a very fixed income with them being retired and could use help with getting a gift card.
