A single mother of one teenager, took in another13 year old teenager. Due to an increase groceries ( she now has two teenagers!) and increase in fuel cost ( to provide transportation to visitation with the biological parents0, this kin provider is struggling to meet her other expenses each month. Gifts cards to assist with gas and food costs will be greatly appreciated by this family.

A single grandmother is caring for her 8 and 14 year old grandsons, and due to increased expenses in food, utilities, gas, clothing, etc., the family is in need of additional financial support.

The 14 year old wears an XL adult tops, his pants size is 34 length and 34/36 waist size. His shoe size is 13.5. They are in need of sneakers, shorts, pants/sweatpants, shirts, socks and underwear.

Grandparents have four and one year old boys placed in their care, and they are working towards foster care certification. As part of the certification process, the adults' need to be First Aid/CPR certified. Although there is a discount for them to enroll in this class, with the additional expenses of parenting two young children, the family is just meeting the necessity of their family.

A parent needs help with tires for her vehicle. Without new tires she will not be able to attend visitation with her child. Four tires will be needed for her vehicle.

Grandparent kin providers are caring for their 1 and 4 year old grandsons. The 4 year old is on the autism spectrum, and recently broke through the gates they have on their stairs. They also need to replace the gates to provide stair safety for the one year old, and as a requirement for kinship foster care certification . They have a twin mattress but need a twin box spring so the mattress can be placed in a bedframe rather than on the floor. They are also in need of a five pound extinguisher for certification Updated on April 03, 2023 by an Agency Worker
This family is still in need of a twin box spring! We have managed to meet the other needs through Care Portal and other sources.

This family with 3 children in the house is not able to afford furniture for their residence that would significantly improve home life. This family is requesting a kitchen table with chairs specifically. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration!

A grandmother had her infant grand daughter placed with her. She is in the process of getting certified. In order to do so, she must be CPR/First Aid certified. Typically, we provide this service at no cost to families, but she is Spanish speaking only, and the class will cost $75 to have in Spanish. We are asking for a gift card to cover this cost. The grandmother was injured at work prior to placement, which has reduced her income significantly. A Visa gift card to cover this expense will be greatly helpful.

Kinship providers have had a male (8) and a female (10) children in their home for the past three months. The children came with very little clothing, toys and personal items. The Care portal and other organizations have assisted this family with the holidays and birthday gifts, but the family has depleted their savings account trying to provide for the extra costs of additional groceries, clothing, personal items, increased transportation costs due to visitations, therapy appointments, activities, etc. and activities for the children. The 8 year old boy needs Good Nites, size small/medium, as he still wets his bed at night. 2 cases would last them for two-to three months. The family has registered the children for basketball ($50 fee) and club volleyball ($250 plus $20 first time player fee) and would greatly appreciate help with these costs. The family has already charged these fees on a credit card, so gift cards to help the family save money in other areas (Walmart, King Soopers etc.) would make a big difference. In addition, they are purchasing the boy basketball shoes and the girl shoes/knee pads for volleyball. Any gift cards to help with these fees or gifts cards for gas /shoes would be very helpful.
