Hello! I have a single grandmother that is currently caring for her 3 year old granddaughter given that the 3 year old's parents are struggle with substance abuse. We were able to get child care set up, but prior she had to pay the first day for the child. The grandmother is on a tight budget and especially now that she is the primary caregiver of her granddaughter. She would really appreciate the help with a $130 visa gift card that was the cost of daycare for one day with the child. Thank you!

Single father or 4 is struggling with transportation needs. He recently lost his transportation because the car he drove had repairs that were more expensive then the car was worth. He works independently and needs to be able to have his tools with him and drive to the locations where he finds work. He has a resource where he can buy a used car for a very affordable price but he needs help with a down payment.

A mother would love to buy a Christmas present for her son, but her financial situation is making this nearly impossible. She is a cancer survivor, and residual effects of treatment has left her unable to work and critically low on funds. Her son lives with her husband, primarily, and understands his mother's situation. Because of this, the son does not want to put further burdens on his mother by asking for Christmas gifts. It's our hope that we can get a present for this mother's son, so that she can share love of Christmastime with him. The son would love two things for his room: a humidifier and a warm comforter. Any kind of humidifier would be great, and his bed is a queen size. If we were able to get these presents for him, it would mean the world to both the son and the mother, proving that their bond is still strong, despite difficult circumstances.

Good afternoon, I have a family that is requesting two playpens, and one crib. The family resides in a two bedroom home, and they are all sharing one room. The playpen that the family currently has is ripped. Two adults and four children under the age of 5 reside in the home. I have seen these items on on Amazon for the below price, but they are available at many of the retail stores.

I have a biological mother who attends weekly family time sessions with her daughter who is 11 and treatment. She is working her treatment plan in hopes of being reunified with her daughter. She is currently homeless but just got a job at a Veterinary Office. She can only work so many hours a week due to a car accident that has left her with pain. She has disability pending. This mom has a car that needs emissions and tags. She does not have the money for this. She could use an American Express gift card or cash to help her with these two things.

This family is struggling with homelessness. The family consist of a single mother and three younger children. The family was previously staying at a shelter but was kicked out for not making it back in time in the evening due to vehicle issues. The mother is trying to find another shelter to stay at and has applied to numerous housing resources and all of them are on waitlist. Unfortunately the mother's only other choice is to sleep in the car with the children until she can find another shelter. The family is in need of sleeping bags that are rated for negative degrees to help keep them warm overnight. I think they would only need two sleeping bags as two of the children can share and the mother can share with one of the children as well. I found a sleeping bag on Amazon for $179 called ALPS OutdoorZ Sleeping-Bags Redwood -25.

Homeless (working) pregnant mother is moving into an apartment and her 4-year-old child will be returning home from foster care. Mom is in need of a car seat for when the baby arrives. A double stroller will help mom when she needs to take the kids out in the community, doctors' appointments, etc.

The family consist of the mother and three daughters. The family is moving out of their home into a apartment at the end of the month.

This family is in need of a lock box in order to keep medications in it. The mother and both of the children have medical issues and all take medication. The children are both special needs and sometimes try to get into things they shouldn't. This family having a lock box will help ensure the children do not get into medications they are not suppose to have.

I am working with a kin-family who is working towards adoption of their two grandsons. They have placement of a 1.5 year old and a 5 year old. They recently got the 5 y/o a new bed, but it only came with a mattress and a frame. Because there is no box spring, there is a gap between the headboard and mattress which results in his pillow falling down. The family is requesting a box spring for a twin bed. It does not need to be anything fancy!

Hello! I have a 16 year old male that has been struggling to get to school and has diabetes. The teen has an extensive history of trauma, as his dad passed away of alcoholism and his mother is currently homeless and struggling with substance abuse. The teen is currently living with a family friend that took him in to avoid possible foster care placement, and also has children of her own. The teen has been saving money to get a car for reliable transportation to school, and needs $200 more dollars to purchase the car. If he were to walk to school, it would take him about an hour, and this poses a risk for him passing out due to his diabetes. His caregiver leaves early in the morning for work, and is unable to drive him to school. The teen is wanting to get back on track with his academics and be the first one in his family to graduate from high school. We would greatly appreciate the remaining $200 for the teen to be able to purchase a car to get to school. Thank you!!

A mother is restarting her life with her children and is in need of household supplies such as pots and pans, laundry detergent, salt and pepper, dish detergent, and a vacuum. Walmart or King Soopers gift cards would also be helpful to purchase these items.
