A dedicated and newly certified foster mom has just welcomed her very first placement into her home. One of the youth’s wishes is a membership to the YMCA, where they can engage in pro-social activities, build healthy habits, and find a safe, supportive community. We’re seeking a generous donor to help cover the cost of this YMCA membership. Your support will directly empower a young person to participate in positive and life-enriching experiences! Thank you!

We are currently supporting two incredible teens, F (from Guatemala, age 17) and B (from Honduras, age 16), who have recently moved into a new foster home. As they begin adjusting to their new environment, they’ve expressed a desire to make their shared space feel more like home.

We are kindly requesting:

2 sets of LED or decorative bedroom lights to brighten and personalize their room

2 Intake breathing therapy devices (over-the-counter style) to support their well-being

Your support would go a long way in helping these young men feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed in their new home. Thank you so much for considering this request and for being part of their journey toward healing and stability.

The mother of the child lives in a very rural area of the San Luis valley, and this keeps her from participating in meetings, and advocating for her child. She needs a cell phone she can use to talk to her lawyer and the DHS team. If she gets a new phone she will be able to attend meetings, advocate for her child, and schedule visits with her son.
