Kinship placement needs a new car seat for 5 year old child placed in their care. Will ensure the child's safety while in vehicle.

We have an amazing foster family in full time ministry who because they took emergency placement of the two children at the first of a month, are not getting their financial stipend for almost 2 months after the placement. They took placement from a neighboring county so are driving a couple of times per week round trip for family visits. There is still another month or so until they get the stipend, so to maintain this placement with these children they need some help with a gas/grocery giftcard to bridge the gap before they get their stipend. The two young foster children are thriving in their care and we want them to be able to stay! The giftcard can be emailed digitally to the caseworker OR dropped off to the agency/family.

A kinship caregiver recently took in a 16 year old unrelated youth temporarily while her parents get back on their feet. The family have been surprised at the increase in groceries, toiletries and even utilities, with having another teen in the home. There are four other biological children in the home. A donation of a gift card to offset some of these expenses for the caregiver, would be greatly appreciated.

Kinship caregivers are working on foster care certification, but have ran into some delays that are beyond their control. They are behind with some of their bills, and stated that getting help with diapers and wipes would be a huge help. Their grandson is 9 months, and wears size 4 diapers. A case of each would be super helpful.

This youth has been in the foster care system for most of her teenage life. Parents rights were terminated and it has been a struggle for this youth to get stabilized. We were recently able to find her a kinship placement and stabilize the youth, however she has no belongings of her own. This youth turns 18 in a few months and will then be a part of the Foster Youth in Transition program and is trying to get belongings of her own. The current placement does not have a bed and this youth is sleeping on the couch currently. The kinship provider is working to fix the basement, which just flooded adding a financial burden, into a room for the youth and is hoping for some help purchasing a bed for this youth so that she feels more stabilized and at home. ###-####.p?variantid=(###) ###-####&storeId=003012&utm_kxconfid=t6c7xqs94&gclid=CjwKCAjwpayjBhAnEiwA-7ena1_XO9l5OzlhwmvXTo_-jfxSdm_2O9XmQ8584mrW3W86ohBdIfZeGBoCDtUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I have a single mom of the three young children, the youngest being a month old. She is working full time and looking at getting a second job part time to help supplement the family's needs. She would really appreciate help with a King Soopers gift card for groceries. Thank you!!

Young parents with new infant are in need of a high chair and walker. This couple has been living with family members but recently moved into a place on their own and are both working hard to provide for the baby and their family. It would be really appreciated to get some baby items in place for them while they work toward stable housing.

Biological father needs assistance getting new tires for his car as they are either wore out or have leaks. This father needs to be able to get to his treatment, visitation and Urine tests in order to be reunified with this daughter. A Wal-Mart gift card for tires or to Discount tire would work, or the client is willing to have tires shipped to his home.

Two children are being reunifying with their mom this week. This mom left a domestic violence situation and is starting completely over. She is a single mother. She is in need of two toddle beds, one boy and one girl and a dresser. Updated on May 23, 2023 by an Agency Worker

A first time mom has recently moved to America from Columbia to study English. She is expecting her baby in September and is hoping to prepare with some of the larger items she will need to properly care for her newborn. She is currently living with her family and says they are struggling financially after her father's company is without much business. The father of the baby is still living in Columbia and is hoping to move to America soon to support his family. The mother studied family medicine in Columbia and is hoping to transfer her career to America to support her family financially. Right now, the mom asks for help getting the car seat and stroller. These items would help her safely transport her baby, and it will be needed in order for her to leave the hospital. We ask for new items. Thank you for your support! Car seat/stroller combo:

I am working with a single mother who is only 21. She is a human trafficking victim and has been in and out of sober homes for the last eight months. The last sober home she was at she was asked to leave, but when this happened they took all of her stuff and either donated it or threw it away. This has left her with only a few clothing items and not much else. One of her belongings that got thrown away was her hair piece which is a big part of her confidence and she now is without. She is couch hopping at this time and could utilize some assistance to get a new hair piece, clothing, and toiletries. This request is for a $75 Amazon Card so she can order what is needed. The card can be electronic to best get it to her.

An 8-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl, were recently placed with their Aunt and Uncle, who are non-certified kinship caregivers. The cost of travel to multiple appointments a week for visitation with parents, therapies and other appointments for the children, is having a significant impact on the family's budget and their ability to meet other basic needs of the children in the home. Gif cards to King Soopers or Walmart to help with gas would be greatly appreciated. Also, both children play basketball, and the family would love to get a curbside basketball ho0p system so they can get outside and play at home. There is no preference to new or gently used.

A single kinship caregiver is caring for her four year old daughter and 5 year old nephew . The child came with nothing to her home. He currently has one pair of shorts, one pair of sneakers and one pair of sandals for summer. She would really appreciate help getting him some new clothes for summer. He currently wears at 3T/4T - he is very slender, so adjustable pants or those with elastic waist are best. Underwear, socks, shorts, t-shirts , tank tops and a swimsuit would be nice for him to have. He wears a size nine shoe. Gift cards or the actual items would be great!!! If possible, it would be nice for him to have some of the clothes as new as that is not something he is accustomed to. Also, the caregiver only has girl toys, and is asking for help getting him some toys such as action figures and dinosaurs to play with in the bath tub, and cars, trucks, and even something like a dump truck to bring to the park when they go. They like to spend their time playing outside when it's not raining. Some gift cards for Walmart for groceries and gas to help offset the impact of some of the other expenses she is incurring caring for an additional child.

15 year old male is in need of appropriate bedroom furniture for a bedroom. Youth will need a dresser, nightstand and a bed frame for a queen bed. Youth would be able to put away his clothing and have a more organized room.

I am working with a family that I have had for several months. The children were removed from their home and they are residing with a kin placement. It has been determined that the children will be with the placement for sometime and they do not have beds. I am asking for help in getting the kids a bed. Given that the apartment is small, I am looking at a three tiered bunk bed as well as a gift card to help the family will additional food and gas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A two-year-old girl is currently placed with her aunt. Her aunt is a single mom who is now preparing to adopt this kiddo as well. To help alleviate the financial needs of this aunt, this request is to get diapers for the 2 y/o. She is currently wearing size 7 diapers and generally wears pampers. The physical diapers or a gift card to help purchase these would be appreciated!

This is a kinship placement who is in the process of getting certified as foster parents. They have taken in their biological four year old grandson and his brother who is almost two. This family has been amazing and wonderful to the boys. They are working to get everything in order for certification and are needing to purchase some child-safety items to assure their home is appropriately child-proofed. In addition, the 4 y/o is starting to need more clothing as he grows and it gets closer to summer. An amazon gift card (digital preferred!) is being requested to help the family get whatever items are needed to become a certified foster placement and to get the boys some additional clothing as it gets warmer.
