The mother of the family is needing phone card due to hers no longer working. This would allow for the mother of the children to be able to communicate with her providers, attorney and caseworker to ensure that she is following her court ordered treatment plan. It has been difficult for the mother of the children to report when she is going to miss her appointments or other treatment without having a phone. Thank you!

Dad is really struggling and is in need of a phone to keep in touch with his attorney and service providers. He is homeless and desperately in need of a phone. Thank you!!

Parents have found an income based housing that does have an opening for them to move into. Parents have discussed being able to afford the ongoing rent moving forward but are asking for any assistance possible so they can cover the deposit and buying furniture for their new apartment. Parents are currently homeless, and staying with friends. By getting into a stable residence, they could have a safe and stable living environment and have their son returned to their care.

This request is to help a mother who is requesting assistance with her rent as she is staying at Oxford homes. This will allow for stability for her so that she may get to work, and establish income to move out on her own.

In an effort to submit rent requests with a better success rate of fulfillment, we have capped the amount requested to $500. The rent or mortgage amount is in total $700 (to include the $500). Whether you are able to fulfill the capped or full amount, we greatly appreciate any support you may offer!

This request is to provide a $100.00 Walmart gift card to a mother who is diligently job seeking and in need of a some clothes and shoes for work. Assisting with this request will allow her to attend interviews with confidence and be presentable at work! Thank you so much.

This request is to help a Mom in need of a phone. Both of her children are in foster care currently and she needs a way to stay in touch with her service providers and professional team. Thank you!!

We have a emergency kinship placement that has taken in four children. They are in need of 2 pack n plays for the babies, Size 2 and 4 diapers, wipes and gift cards to purchase clothes for all 4 children. The support this family will receive will ensure that all four siblings will be able to remain together. Used pack n plays would be fine.

A dedicated and newly certified foster mom has just welcomed her very first placement into her home. One of the youth’s wishes is a membership to the YMCA, where they can engage in pro-social activities, build healthy habits, and find a safe, supportive community. We’re seeking a generous donor to help cover the cost of this YMCA membership. Your support will directly empower a young person to participate in positive and life-enriching experiences! Thank you!

Ms. Bell has been working with a truck repair shop to get her only mode of transportation fixed so she can carry out the tasks in her treatment plan. She wants to maintain compliance with substance use treatment and live a drug free lifestyle. The truck repairs total $2000. Mom is able to pay $500 and DHS will assist with $600.00. The truck repair shop has agreed to take a loss of $417.65. That leaves another $900.00 to be requested.

We are currently supporting two incredible teens, F (from Guatemala, age 17) and B (from Honduras, age 16), who have recently moved into a new foster home. As they begin adjusting to their new environment, they’ve expressed a desire to make their shared space feel more like home.

We are kindly requesting:

2 sets of LED or decorative bedroom lights to brighten and personalize their room

2 Intake breathing therapy devices (over-the-counter style) to support their well-being

Your support would go a long way in helping these young men feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed in their new home. Thank you so much for considering this request and for being part of their journey toward healing and stability.

The mother of the child lives in a very rural area of the San Luis valley, and this keeps her from participating in meetings, and advocating for her child. She needs a cell phone she can use to talk to her lawyer and the DHS team. If she gets a new phone she will be able to attend meetings, advocate for her child, and schedule visits with her son.
