PLEASE HELP ONE OF OUR OWN: A local LPSD teacher and her family need our help, prayers and support. The husband is struggling with his mental health, currently on administrative leave, and recently attempted suicide. The family has huge medical issues and bills looming. They have a new baby and a toddler. They are barely making ends meet on a teacher's salary. They are in need financially, food (gift cards to grocery stores), gift cards to restaurants, gas cards, formula for their new baby (Enfamil Gentlease in the purple container). ANYTHING you can give would be a blessing to this struggling young family.

Salutations community partners! We are celebrating our annual Children and Family appreciation event in June. This year, we are combining children and families served by three areas of El Paso County Child, Youth, and Family Services: Foster Care, Kinship Care, and Adoption. The theme of the event is Disney! Our event will touch the lives of a multitude of children and families in our community, and we would like to invite you to consider helping us provide a fun experience for these special members of our community. We are hoping to provide various prizes to raffle off at our appreciation event. Some ideas that have been considered for prizes include; gift cards to big box stores, tickets to family friendly events (concerts, comic con, Disney on ice, etc), paid experiences for families (zoo, horseback riding, classes, theme parks, rafting, trampoline parks, go carts, aquarium, etc), gift baskets, or memberships. We leave it open to your imagination. Thank you for your consideration.
