A teenage youth was at an Aurora Hospital, when they were ready for discharge there was no placement for them. This youth lacks family support and is trying to pick up the pieces so they can complete high school and be able to build independent live skills. A gift card to walmart or somewhere so the teenager can get some clothing would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

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 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!

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!

The family I am requesting on behalf of is a multigenerational family. Mother has two school aged children, as well as a grandchild she helps care for, and two adult children that live in the home with her. The family recently relocated from Florida and has not been able to transfer their benefits including WIC, Medicaid, and Snap benefits. This family does not have transportation, and that effort is made much more diffucult due to an adult child with a chronic illness, and wheelchair use. The family needs support with formula (Purple Gentlease).The two school aged children are also in need of new shoes and any clothing for the school year. Girl is 7/8 in clothes and size 1-1 in half. boy is 36 slim in grown men and a size 9 in half in Men. Shirt size medium.
