The adoptive placement for a 4 year old girl has fallen through. A biological relative, an aunt, has been identified as an adoptive placement, however her children are older and she does not have any preschool child supplies. Aunt is trying to sort out preschool, daycare and get her home ready for a young child. Aunt is requesting a car seat with a five point harness for the child.

A three year old and nine year old have been placed with their grandmother for the past two years due to domestic violence and parent substance abuse without financial support from either parent. Grandmother quit her job so she could care for the children, which has created some financial hardship for the family. She recently felt comfortable returning to work part time, but the family's finances are still tight. The three year old has outgrown his car seat and is in need of a bigger one he can grow with over the next several years.

A youth I am working with is in need of a laptop of his own. His preference is a refurbished Mac Book but he is grateful for anything that allows him to connect to the Internet and has video/virtual capabilities so he can participate in virtual family therapy sessions with his mom.

This family recently started working with the Department. Concerns involved domestic violence which led to mom leaving her husband. Through this process she has become the sole provider and is 100% responsible for the kids, especially now that her mom recently passed away. Mom has been financially dependent on father but is now working two jobs to try and keep the apartment she is currently in. Her son has unexpectedly needed to have surgery this week, so she had to access funds for her rent and groceries. I am requesting grocery assistance for this month to help her and all three of her children. Thank you for any and all help!

A youth was living with her grandma, but she made some poor choices in grandma's home. Her aunt stepped up to provide her with a home and new opportunity. However, her aunt has multiple children living with her and all of the children are sharing a room. Currently without a bed, the aunt is giving her bed to the youth and she has been sleeping on the couch. We are requesting a bunk bed for a family please, so the aunt can have her bed back.

This resilient Douglas County family is working hard to rebuild stability after the father lost his job and housing due to medical challenges. Now living in a family shelter in Aurora, the mother is employed full-time, while the father is actively job searching, attending fatherhood classes, and caring for their children.

They remain connected to Douglas County through work and community ties. Gas cards would help them stay mobile for work, housing searches, and meaningful family outings during this transitional time.

This family has been struggling with basic needs including grocery and regular dinners for the kids. The mom has exhausted multiple food banks, friend, and family supports. She is using the last of her canned goods to help her family. She is now facing having to sell her home potentially and move her family into a smaller apartment. She is trying to pick up extra work and still achieve all requirements set by the Department. Any help with grocery money for this month would be extremely beneficial!

We are reaching out on behalf of a dedicated mother and her three children who are currently facing financial hardship. The mother is struggling with a domestic violent relationship which resulted in her and the children being stranded in another state.

The amount asked is a lot and if only a small part can be helped with that is okay. Anything helps!
