Woodland Park Community Church

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.

The 17-year-old female child in this home is about to enter her senior year of high school. She recently found her father deceased in his home and is going through mental health treatment for that incident and prior trauma. She has a history in the foster care system. She is trying to apply for jobs and create a sense of normalcy following that incident. She has inherited her father's vehicle, but her family has been unable to afford driver's training school in order for her to obtain her permit and/or license. We are hoping for monetary assistance or donation from a driving school that would allow her to receive classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction. This would greatly support her emotional well-being as she works through her grief process.

A family friend took in three children, a 3yr old boy, 5yr old boy, and a 15 yr old girl in June. The children are in need of some clothing items desperately at this time and due to it being a single income household, the family friend does not have the funds to pay for it. A gift card to Walmart in the amount of $350 will ensure she can get what the children need. If this need is met, it will ensure the children are dressed in clothes that fit them and are seasonally appropriate. Thank you so much for your consideration!

A family friend took in three children, a 3 year old boy, 5 year old boy, and 15 yr old girl in June. Due to being a single income earner, she needs to pay for a week of childcare while she waits for a daycare to be ready to take the children. She does not have a means to pay for it on her own. A visa gift card in the amount of $400 will cover the required cost and ensure she does not miss work. This would be a huge blessing to her if the need is met! Thank you so much for your consideration!

Hello, I have a case with 5 children who are placed with their grandmother in Georgia. She is a single person who took in 2 pre-teens and 3 young children including a baby. She is doing well making that adjustment and has some help from her other adult children when it comes to taking care of the kids, but could use some assistance with things like diapers, wipes, hair products, clothes and school supplies as the next year is coming up. Being that they are in Georgia a gift card would be excellent. She is able to purchase all of these supplies at Walmart and would appreciate anything that could help with some of the financial need of these 5 children. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

This request is to help fund sending 2 youth to Oklahoma to visit with their aunt and uncle for the last 2 weeks of summer before school starts back. The current cost of the round-trip tickets are $543.97 per ticket. Helping with this will allow for the children to have a continued bond with their biological family while their professional team works on a path towards permanency.

We are seeking donations in the form of Visa gift cards to help a youth in foster care attend driver's education classes. Your support can provide them with an essential step toward independence and opportunity.
