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.

A Teller County teenager is in dire need of financial support to purchase clothing, toiletries, and other basic needs. This steadfast 17-year old was living on the streets with one biological parent in another state, and came to Teller County in an attempt to reunite with her other biological parent after many years apart. Unfortunately, this situation turned out to be just as unfortunate and unhealthy, and required the intervention of Teller County DHS, which located alternate living arrangements for her. This child is in need of clothing and supplies because what she had was thrown out with trash and animal feces. Please consider helping this persevering young woman, who has a job, wants to finish high school, and has plans to attend trade school. If you have it in your hearts and wallets, the Department respectfully asks for Walmart or Visa gift cards to allow this teen to choose her own items. Thank you for your consideration, community!

Emergency kinship placement took a 22 month old girl and 8 year old boy in August of this year. Both of the children had medical and dental needs, and placement is making extraodinary efforts to make sure those needs are met. The 22 month old girl had the second phase of the cleft palate repair on 4/23/2025.. Due to her age, this is major surgery. Kin placement will be needing child care assistance since they will have to return to work a few days after she is discharged from the hospital and as a result, will need to hire childcare assistance to come into the home. A Visa gift card in the amount of $250 will provide the placement the ability to hire and pay a sitter. Both children are thriving in this placement, which is why this need is urgent. Preserving this placement will ensure the children get all of their medical and dental needs resolved. Bio parents want to see this placement preserved because of how deeply they trust kin mom and kin dad. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of the parents, placement, and children that this request is considered.

A single mother of three young children is currently facing multiple challenges. She recently left an unsafe situation involving her ex-husband and is working to maintain stability for her family. Her children are ages five, three (with special needs), and one.

The mother is concerned about the possibility of losing her job and is currently burdened with significant legal expenses related to custody and safety matters. She has expressed difficulty securing new employment and accessing necessary therapeutic services for herself and her children due to financial and time constraints.

The five-year-old, who is currently in kindergarten, has shared concerns about food insecurity and housing stability, indicating the impact of the family’s situation on the children’s well-being.

We are looking for some assistance with grocery costs to help relieve that particular burden. Thank you for your help.

Hello! I have a single mother that is in need of getting help for some car repairs so that she and her daughter can get back to South Dakota by the end of next week. The child was previously being cared for by extended family, however due to serious allegations, she is unable to go back to them and her mother is needing to relocate with her out of state. The family has been through a lot of trauma and the father is no longer living. Her car is in need of a new muffler, oil change, and possibly new brakes. This mother would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

Just a couple days ago, a single foster mom took in a teen girl who has experienced horrific abuse into her home. They've been grateful for many gifted used items that have been given to them to help provide her with some clothing, shoes, and basic essentials. However, the foster mom is hoping to take her on a super special "shopping spree" to be able to give her the chance to pick out some brand new shoes, clothing, and toiletries to call her very own. Any amount to a place like target or walmart would be helpful! Thank you!

CASA has a case where a toddler was recently reunified with her mom and dad and two baby siblings. The family's apartment is ground floor and not in a great neighborhood and so the mom does not feel comfortable opening the windows due to safety. The mom is a stay-at-home mom and is struggling with postpartum depression (being treated). Their apartment is already very warm and the temperatures haven't even gotten that high yet for the year. CASA is asking for assistance with purchasing windowless air conditioners (2) for the home to help as well as a gift card to help with expenses like food and clothes. Thank you! Go To Link

My request today is for a King Soopers gift card for the family to use to get gas in their vehicle and diapers for their child. Dad lost his job 4 weeks ago and finances are tight. He obtained new employment and starts this Monday, but will not get his first paycheck for several weeks.
