Please help a young mother who is recently homeless and now living in a motel with her three children, all under age 3.

The family was reported to Human Services because they continually missed medical appointments, and now we are trying to help improve their situation by meeting basic and urgent needs. The mother has no transportation, no food for the children, no storage for her belongings, and no way to wash clothes. The family is awaiting placement in a shelter (they have pending applications at 3 shelters). To stay in the hotel a few more days, the mother needs $90 per night.

Her youngest child is an 8-month old who was born premature; the child has significant weight loss and a developmental delay related to lack of nutrition. the child needs Similac Neosure Formula (yellow can) to be able to eat, a Pack and Play for safe sleep, and a stroller so the mother can take them to medical appointments and find other resources.

Additionally, this family could greatly benefit from food for the children, hotel vouchers, and long-term housing.

Thank you for your support!

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!

This foster family has two teen girls who they would love to take on camping trips with them. Both girls have never gone camping and the providers love to enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Colorado. They are in need of a sleeping bag for each girl and tent they can share in order to make these trips happen. Any help would be appreciated!

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. This cause the mother to use half of her rent money to be able to get back home safely. Any help would be appreciated. The amount asked is a lot and if only a small part can be helped with that is okay. Anything helps!

This foster mom has moved mountains to provide a home for three teens. Now she is opening her home to another hard-to-place teenager. As she prepares for this teen, he will need to share home with another teen in the home. In order for both teen boys to share a room she is in need of two twin beds. Will you come beside this foster mom by providing a mattress to call theirs that will fit in the bedroom they will share?

The brothers have been in foster care since 2021. Their mother passed away and their father had TPR and was not involved in their lives. The brothers have had several failed kinship placements and a Family member has finally stepped up to be a permanent option for them. The family member requires assistance with bedding for the boys so they can move in with her. A $100 giftcard to walmart would help the aunt buy sheets, pillows and a comforter for the twin bunk bed.
