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!

This foster family has two teen girls who they would love to take on camping trips with them. Both girls have never gone camping and the providers love to enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Colorado.

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.
