Reach The Lost

We have a single mother who is engaged in an intensive voluntary DHS case. She has been looking for employment. She found a job and was given a provisional job offer, but she needs a laptop and a printer. Client is only open to a new laptop, as she wants to ensure reliability for work and that it doesn't have any one else's personal information is on the laptop. She is open to a used printer. Walmart has windows laptops starting around $200. Wireless printers are about $55. Please be aware many newer models of laptops do not have USB ports, so a wireless printer may be needed. Client has looked into community resources and unfortunately, many grants have ended and therefore there are not programs available. The mother would like to accept the job offer by 5/14/25. So, this is a urgent need.

A mother of three (boys 6 and 4, girl 3) is unemployed and cannot keep her phone turned on. She cannot stay in touch with her treatment providers and is unable to communicate with her family time supervisor. This is impacting her ability to find better work, stay engaged with her children, and work towards reunification. A phone card would be so helpful to this mom and would help her stay on top of changing schedules and reunite her family. Thank you for your generosity!

A 14-year-old male youth is in need of new clothes and is requesting a visa gift card to cover these items, including but not limited to pants, shirts, and shoes. He has made an Amazon wish list and is hoping to have these items as he has outgrown most of his clothes.

Grandma, who recently underwent surgery, lovingly stepped in to care for her 2 month old infant grandson during an incredibly difficult time for their family. As she heals and adjusts to this unexpected role, a supportive rocking chair will help her comfortably hold and feed him, while a crib, mattress, and sheets will provide the safe, nurturing space he needs to sleep and grow. Your gift would bring comfort, stability, and peace of mind to a family doing their best to build a new beginning together.

Crib frame

A growing family had to part with a significant number of belongings and replace several items to ensure the safety of her children. This process has highlighted the importance of creating a secure environment for them. As a result, they are diligently working to rebuild their home from the ground up, motivated by the difficult lessons they learned along the way. They are in urgent need of twin bedding sets for 2 girls (Preferred colors are light green and pink). They also need a toddler bed frame, ideally white, with toddler bedding set. Mattress protectors for a crib and for 2 twin beds are also needed. They would also welcome clothes for their girls, sizes 24 months, 2T and 4T. The family is motivated to succeed and would really appreciate your help to get back on their feet. Thank you!

A mother and father of 5 children, ages 5, 2, 1, and a set of 4 month old twins that were born prematurely, are in desperate need of grocery assistance.

Mom is unable to work at this time, so they are extremely tight for money and food insecurity is becoming a greater concern. A gift card to Walmart or King Soopers in the amount of $300 would be a massive help to this young family in their time of need. Thank you so much for your consideration!

A mother, who's two children ( a boy, age 7 and a girl, age 1) is struggling financially at this time. Her children are placed in a kin-like home in Colorado Springs. Mom recently completed 30 days in rehab and is now trying to find work. She is very stressed about food insecurities and has days that she can only eat one meal a day. Mom would also like to be able to bring food to visits with the children, but does not have the means to do so at this time. A $250 walmart card or King Soopers card would allow her to get groceries for a couple of weeks while she continues her search for employment. This would be a big blessing in her life if it was granted. Thank you so much for considering!

She has a bed reserved in Sober Living so she will have a safe place to stay. Due to having no job, she does not yet have the means to pay for her first month. A visa gift card in the amount of $450 would assist her to ensure the first month is paid as she begins her journey towards sobriety and ultimately, reunification with her daughter, who is on the autism spectrum and non-verbal. This request being met would be a huge blessing in this young mom's life. Thank you so much for considering!
