Castle Oaks Church

This youth was recently placed in a kinship home unexpectedly . The youth's clothing and shoes were disposed of by previous placement. The youth is in need of clothing and shoes. This youth is interested in Nike brand if possible for gift cards, as well as Walmart, Target, Kohls, or Visa Gift Cards. Any support is appreciated.

The Department is working with a family with a 1-year-old boy. They are currently in need of size 4 diapers and unscented baby wipes. 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!

Children are currently place in Kinship care with aunt and uncle who could use some support with these items as they have limited income. The kin family has been able to manage their household expenses without any assistance but now their household size has increased.

The mother of 15 year old twins died unexpectedly yesterday. The children are staying with maternal grandmother until the Department can come up with a new placement plan for them. The apartment complex they were staying in with their mother is refusing to let them back into the apartment to get any personal belongings. The Department is trying to contact the apartment complex to gain entry, but in the meantime the children have nothing. Requesting a visa card or walmart/target gift card so the children can get hygiene products and basics such as underwear, socks, clean tshirts, etc.

Navigators are preparing to go out into the community to distribute essential hygiene supplies to homeless families in need. We are currently collecting the following items in bulk:

Deodorant Body wipes Toothbrushes Toothpaste

Your support can make a real difference in someone’s daily life. If you can help by donating these items we would be greatly appreciative. These items can be purchased in bulk at Amazon.

Thank you for standing with us to support our neighbors in need!

A youth I am working with is applying for jobs. He does not have a car or driver's permit at this time. When talking about how he would physically get to his job, he said he planned to use his first paycheck to buy himself a bike. I asked him if I could use CarePortal to request a bike from the community, he said he would think about it. He finally agreed to allow me to make this request! The bike that he is interested in are linked here: Go To Link Go To Link

The youth is 15 years old and average height (under 6 foot tall). He said that he would be so grateful for any bike, even if it is not the ones linked. Thank you!

Single mom who recently became unemployed seeking assistance for a bicycle to use to get to work. She has fallen behind her car payments and reports her car will be repossessed. She hopes to obtain a bike that is "sturdy with good wheels" as she describes needing a bike to support a larger person. I will add a helmet would be useful to ensure safety.

Two children have been recently placed into kinship care with their aunt and cousin. This was unexpected and the aunt is needing assistance with getting groceries stocked for the children.

A family with a newborn just recently moved into a hotel from a tent. They're trying to get back on their feet while maintaining sobriety. They would greatly benefit from funds to apply to their hotel and/or a gift card for groceries.

two young boys were recently placed in an emergency placement due to last placement moving out of state. they did not come with any clothes, just shoes. a gift card would help kinship get clothes for children.

Hello! I have a family that is struggling to make ends meet since they financially helped their extended family flee an unsafe and dangerous situation in Afghanistan to come to the US to live with them. The dad is driving for Door Dash to help supplement some income, but they are still struggling, as they are helping to feed an additional 2 children and 2 adults on top of their own 3 children. This family would really appreciate the help with a King Soopers card to be able to buy groceries. Thank you!
