Foster mom has anywhere between 3 and 5 teenagers in her home at any given time. She works will all of her placements on independent living skills to include helping them get jobs and extra curriculars. Currently she has a 13 year old and 16 year old girl that would really benefit from bikes. The 16 year old is currently walking about a mile each way for work and a bike would significantly help in maintain this job. Additionally, the 16 year old helps watch the 13 year old over school breaks so a bike for each girl would be used during this time. Their foster mom has paid for them to have a gym membership that is within biking distance but she is not always available to transport them. Thank you!

This kinship provider is in need of some financial assistance with groceries. There are multiple kiddos in the home and the provider could use some support. Any help is appreciated!!

I am seeking financial support to help fund driving lessons and a driver’s test through Drive Safe Driving School for a resilient 19-year-old young adult who hasn’t had the opportunity to learn the essential skill of driving due to significant life barriers. This young man, his mother, and 11 year old brother have been living in a temporary unstable housing situation in rural Douglas County. Transportation options are severely limited. His mother does not have a valid dritver’s license, and there are no family or friends available to teach him how to drive. This young adult has navigated life under the weight of chronic instability and poverty. Getting to essential services is a constant challenge and vital resources like food pantries are often inaccessible. Despite challenges, this young man is working closely with community services and making great strides toward independence. He is committed to earning his GED, having been disconnected from the education system since 8th grade, and he is highly motivated to gain stable employment. The opportunity to drive would be life-changing: it would open doors to jobs, education, and essential services, while also giving him a sense of dignity and self-worth that comes from achieving a goal so many of his peers take for granted. Financial funding may contribute to giving a young adult who has faced overwhelming obstacles a real chance at building a stable and successful future.

I am working with a mother who lost custody of her child. She is working on getting him back, but she is struggling financially. She does not have much food in her home despite going to food banks. She is making it by on minimal groceries for herself, but she does not have enough food to supply to her son. She is working full time and is doing the best that she can. I am hoping to get her some support through a King Soopers gift card so she can purchase some groceries for her son. He is 3 years old and is very picky on what is being received by the food bank.

Hello! I have a family that is struggling to make ends meet since they financially helped their extended family flee an unsafe and dangerous situation in Afghanistan to come to the US to live with them. The dad is driving for Door Dash to help supplement some income, but they are still struggling, as they are helping to feed an additional 2 children and 2 adults on top of their own 3 children. This family would really appreciate the help with a King Soopers card to be able to buy groceries. Thank you!

This family recently moved to Castle Rock for better job opportunities. Since moving, they are struggling with money and are asking for help with groceries. The family does not have a ton of support or family around and feel lost on what to do.

Hello! I have a single mother that is in need of getting help for some car repairs so that she and her daughter can get back to South Dakota by the end of next week. The child was previously being cared for by extended family, however due to serious allegations, she is unable to go back to them and her mother is needing to relocate with her out of state. The family has been through a lot of trauma and the father is no longer living. Her car is in need of a new muffler, oil change, and possibly new brakes. This mother would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

A 17 year old youth is residing in kinship care. She is graduating from high school in May. She needs assistance with buying announcements for her graduation. She would be able to take a target/Walmart gift card to compensate for the cost of the announcements or take help with ordering the announcements.

I have a 17 year old youth that is struggling with past trauma, complications of a blended family and with school issues. He has been struggling with substance use and is currently completing a substance use program and involved with Pretrial. He has extremely limited options socially and has spent most of the last three months in online school and substance use treatment. He has expressed that one of the things he really enjoys is rock climbing but his parents do not have the capacity to support this. I am requesting a three month summer pass to Ubergrippen in Castle Rock so that he can participate in a pro-social activity that is supervised and where he can meet positive peers.

This is still a need. The youth would appreciate even one month of membership
