This request is to support a homeless mother of 3 with one on the way due in August. She is seeking short-term support in the form of either a hotel stay or supportive housing once the baby is due as she will be in the hospital and in need of medical attention when the baby comes in August. This donation will help provide short-term housing and provide mother and the baby with safe and short-term stable housing at this time. Mother is very resourceful and willing to seek support and help to find housing, but needs a safe place to stay in the meantime. Thank you for your consideration!

We are urgently seeking a car seat for a 1-year-old baby girl enrolled in our SafeCare Colorado program.

She is currently living in a vulnerable environment, but her family is working hard to improve their parenting skills by attending safety and health education classes. Despite their strong commitment, they are unable to afford a safe and appropriate car seat at this time.

A car seat is essential for her safety, and we are hoping someone in the community can help.

🧡 If you have a gently used car seat (not expired, and never involved in an accident) or would like to donate a new one, please reach out.

Every act of kindness helps create a safer, healthier future for our families.

Thank you so much for your support!

Warmly, Olaya Palavicino Supervisor, SafeCare Colorado 📧 ******@email.com 📍 Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains

A kin placement who took a boy (DOB: 9/30/2021), a boy (DOB: 5/12/2019), and a girl (DOB:7/15/2009) under emergency circumstances, is in need of assistance. Taking the children into her home significantly increased household expenses, especially grocery costs. Provider unexpectedly had her food stamps stolen and was told she may not receive her benefits again until August. She is concerned about keeping enough food in the house until her financial support kicks in. A gift card for groceries in the amount of $300 from Walmart of King Soopers would be a huge blessing for her to ensure the children are always fed. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

Hello, I have 2 children who are placed here in Colorado Springs with their grandparents on an ICPC from Rhode Island. These children are in need of some school uniforms as they go to CIVA. These uniform pieces can be purchased at Walmart and do not require a school logo! They spent half a year in this school last year and were lucky enough to have some pieces from a closet at the school, but nothing has been donated to the school yet and they have grown so much since the end of last year. The boy is in size 10/12 and the girl is in size 7/8. They can have khaki or navy pants and a polo shirt in red, gold, navy, or royal. They are also in need of shoes. The boy wears a size 4 and the girl wears a size 1. Any help with these items is greatly appreciated! On the Walmart website the pants run about $15 each, and shirts are about $5 each. It also looks like shoes can be anywhere from $10-30. Again thank you so much for the time reading this and we appreciate any help that is offered.

Mother is in need of a cellphone with minutes. She is trying to move out of father’s home and recently lost her phone and her car broke down. Mother needs phone to keep in touch with DHS Caseworker and be able to connect to local resources. Mother has 4-year-old child.

A aunt and uncle took emergency placement of their 15 year old niece, 15 year old nephew and 6 year old nephew. Aunt and Uncle also have two children of their own. The family had to move unexpectedly and are now in a new apartment and in need of some furniture. They could benefit from three dressers so the children do not have to keep their clothes in bags. With 7 people in the 3 bedroom apartment, space is limited. The older two just celebrated birthdays in June and aunt and uncle did not budget to have to move and purchase new furniture. If this need is met the children will be able to have a place to put their items.

A 16-year-old young man is currently navigating one of the most difficult times of his life. For the first time, he has entered a residential treatment facility to receive intensive mental health support. This transition comes after a series of overwhelming events, including hospitalization and placement into foster care. This journey that has left him with nothing but the clothes on his back. He has lost all of his personal clothing during the moves, and now, at a time when he needs stability and dignity the most, he has no clothes of his own. A few changes of clean clothes, socks, underwear, and a hoodie can go a long way toward helping him feel human again. Having his own clothing would restore a sense of identity and normalcy while he works to heal. This young man is working hard to manage his emotions, participate in therapy, and imagine a better future. Community support in the form of clothing would not only meet a practical need, but also send a powerful message: you are not alone, and you are worth showing up for. If this need is met, it could make a big difference in his recovery journey. Something as basic as new clothing can provide comfort, confidence, and a feeling of being seen.

Mom is currently transient but has been very communicative with her team with the available resources she has. She is engaging as much as possible. Unfortunately, she needs help keeping her phone turned on so she can speak directly with her team and coordinate family time and services. She needs service to be successful with working towards reunification with her 4 month old son. A phone card would be incredibly helpful and so appreciated. Thank you for your generosity!
