The family recently left their home due to domestic violence. They have been living with a family member, but they have been just approved for a new apartment. Unfortunately, they have nothing and no furniture to fill their home with. They need beds, couches, chairs, tables, kitchenware, and other common household items that one can think of.

Our client is a mother with 7 children fleeing DV. They currently don't have any beds or bedding. To make trasporting the younger children easier mom is need of a stroller. Mom is doing her very best to get things settled for her and her children, but is in need of assistance. "Children need 3 twin sized beds. and 3 sets of twin size bedding. Toddler Stroller. Size 6 Diapers. "

A single mother of 4 children is in need of some assistance with getting her children bed frames and mattresses. One child doesn't have a bed. With school nearing mom is wanting to be sure that her children are resting well and getting adequate sleep. Anything will help!

This family consist of a 21-year-old mother and her soon to be 1-year old whose first birthday is on August 1 st. Mom herself was in Foster Care during most of her childhood and aged out of supports very recently. She has little to no family support in the Denver area, only her maternal grandmother who has physical disabilities and is not able to provide any physical support like childcare. Due to this, and the current CCAP freeze in Colorado, mom is unable to work at this time because she does not have any reliable childcare for her daughter. So, while she does receive financial support from DHS, it is limited and leaves her with very little room for anything except absolute necessities. Mom has been introducing her daughter to new foods and would really like a highchair to continue this in a safe way for her now very active (and walking!) almost toddler. I have worked with her as a case manager for about a month now, and she has not only never asked for anything other than this request but has also donated an entire box of diapers to the program I work with, so that I can distribute to other families who may need them. This generosity and kindness for others should be celebrated, so I am hoping this request for a highchair and potty seat will be fulfilled by another person's kindness in turn. Thank you so much!

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 young single mom (CP) of a 2 yr old moved into her first apartment in April through an income-based apartment and has a job at the mall. She's run into some really rough times and is struggling to make ends meet as her job has reduced her hours significantly and her car is not working. She is sleeping on an air mattress that goes flat every night. We are hoping to connect her with someone willing to provide a new or gently used mattress to get her off the floor. She lives in Boulder and has no transportation, so we are hoping the donor would be willing to bring to her directly. She also needs a microwave and this would help her with food preparation for her and her son.

CP is a 21 yr old single mother of almost 2yr old boy ER. She moved into her first apartment in April through an income-based apartment and has a job at the mall. Unfortunately, she was in a car accident and her car is not reliable right now and has no funds to repair it. She has been having to Uber to and from work, which is getting very expensive. So, her job has reduced her hours and demoted her until she can get more consistent with getting to work. Her support system is 90 min away, but they are who help her with her son when she does work. She could really use $200-300 in Uber gift card to help her over this hump in getting around until her car can get repaired. She is a lovely young lady who is struggling very hard these days and could use this to help her and her son. Any Uber gift card amount would be appreciated.

The Denver Human Services’ Give Center is seeking can openers to support food access for the children and families we serve. The Give Center serves close to 4,000 clients a year who need emergent resources – which include food. We provide individuals and the families we serve with food, including canned goods.
