We have an amazing foster family in full time ministry who because they took emergency placement of the two children at the first of a month, are not getting their financial stipend for almost 2 months after the placement. They took placement from a neighboring county so are driving a couple of times per week round trip for family visits. There is still another month or so until they get the stipend, so to maintain this placement with these children they need some help with a gas/grocery giftcard to bridge the gap before they get their stipend. The two young foster children are thriving in their care and we want them to be able to stay! The giftcard can be emailed digitally to the caseworker OR dropped off to the agency/family.

A kinship caregiver recently took in a 16 year old unrelated youth temporarily while her parents get back on their feet. The family have been surprised at the increase in groceries, toiletries and even utilities, with having another teen in the home. There are four other biological children in the home. A donation of a gift card to offset some of these expenses for the caregiver, would be greatly appreciated.

Kinship caregivers are working on foster care certification, but have ran into some delays that are beyond their control. They are behind with some of their bills, and stated that getting help with diapers and wipes would be a huge help. Their grandson is 9 months, and wears size 4 diapers. A case of each would be super helpful.

This youth has been in the foster care system for most of her teenage life. Parents rights were terminated and it has been a struggle for this youth to get stabilized. We were recently able to find her a kinship placement and stabilize the youth, however she has no belongings of her own. This youth turns 18 in a few months and will then be a part of the Foster Youth in Transition program and is trying to get belongings of her own. The current placement does not have a bed and this youth is sleeping on the couch currently. The kinship provider is working to fix the basement, which just flooded adding a financial burden, into a room for the youth and is hoping for some help purchasing a bed for this youth so that she feels more stabilized and at home. ###-####.p?variantid=(###) ###-####&storeId=003012&utm_kxconfid=t6c7xqs94&gclid=CjwKCAjwpayjBhAnEiwA-7ena1_XO9l5OzlhwmvXTo_-jfxSdm_2O9XmQ8584mrW3W86ohBdIfZeGBoCDtUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

High Urgency Request
I am working with a single mother who is only 21. She is a human trafficking victim and has been in and out of sober homes for the last eight months. The last sober home she was at she was asked to leave, but when this happened they took all of her stuff and either donated it or threw it away. This has left her with only a few clothing items and not much else. One of her belongings that got thrown away was her hair piece which is a big part of her confidence and she now is without. She is couch hopping at this time and could utilize some assistance to get a new hair piece, clothing, and toiletries. This request is for a $75 Amazon Card so she can order what is needed. The card can be electronic to best get it to her.

An 8-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl, were recently placed with their Aunt and Uncle, who are non-certified kinship caregivers. The cost of travel to multiple appointments a week for visitation with parents, therapies and other appointments for the children, is having a significant impact on the family's budget and their ability to meet other basic needs of the children in the home. Gif cards to King Soopers or Walmart to help with gas would be greatly appreciated. Also, both children play basketball, and the family would love to get a curbside basketball ho0p system so they can get outside and play at home. There is no preference to new or gently used.

A single kinship caregiver is caring for her four year old daughter and 5 year old nephew . The child came with nothing to her home. He currently has one pair of shorts, one pair of sneakers and one pair of sandals for summer. She would really appreciate help getting him some new clothes for summer. He currently wears at 3T/4T - he is very slender, so adjustable pants or those with elastic waist are best. Underwear, socks, shorts, t-shirts , tank tops and a swimsuit would be nice for him to have. He wears a size nine shoe. Gift cards or the actual items would be great!!! If possible, it would be nice for him to have some of the clothes as new as that is not something he is accustomed to. Also, the caregiver only has girl toys, and is asking for help getting him some toys such as action figures and dinosaurs to play with in the bath tub, and cars, trucks, and even something like a dump truck to bring to the park when they go. They like to spend their time playing outside when it's not raining. Some gift cards for Walmart for groceries and gas to help offset the impact of some of the other expenses she is incurring caring for an additional child.

This is a kinship placement who is in the process of getting certified as foster parents. They have taken in their biological four year old grandson and his brother who is almost two. This family has been amazing and wonderful to the boys. They are working to get everything in order for certification and are needing to purchase some child-safety items to assure their home is appropriately child-proofed. In addition, the 4 y/o is starting to need more clothing as he grows and it gets closer to summer. An amazon gift card (digital preferred!) is being requested to help the family get whatever items are needed to become a certified foster placement and to get the boys some additional clothing as it gets warmer.

This family is open for a court ordered assessment for services/placement. The kiddo has had a criminal case opened since 2020 which is impacting the family. The kiddo is doing really well and the case is getting close to being dismissed by the DA. The kiddo is court ordered to engage in multiple therapy treatments which requires the family to be driving all over the metro area and to eat out frequently because they are out until late. A gift card to Walmart would help offset these expenses. A gift card to Uber would be helpful to the family because the mother is a single mother who works and has to pay for an Uber to get Owen to and from school because they live within two miles from the school so he is not eligible for bussing.

A young single kinship parent is looking for a little assistance in getting some size 7 Pampers pullups (70 count) and bedding for the new toddler bed the child has grown into. The provider found a comforter and bedding set at Target. She said it doesn't matter if that if she is given a gift card to get that one, or if that is not possible, she is not particular. She is requesting that the colors be white, beige or light grey, "girly" is ok, but no characters. Due to the increase in costs of utilities, gas and food, it is becoming increasingly more difficult for her to provide some these extras for her niece. Her niece has been placed with her for over two years now, and the provider rarely asks for help. As a matter of fact, she is always sending this Kinship worker resources for other families!
