62198140- I’m working with wonderful family who has adopted three amazing children from foster care. Each child faces unique challenges, including fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), autism, ADHD, and anxiety. Daily struggles with elopement and meltdowns make their safety a constant concern. Every day requires vigilance and love as they work to create a nurturing environment where their children can thrive. 2 of the children struggle with elopement, putting them at risk of wandering from home. Their meltdowns, which can happen daily due to sensory overload or anxiety, sometimes result in aggression, necessitating constant supervision to ensure their safety and the safety of others. The family is in need of a secure fence which would allow the children to safely enjoy outdoor play while granting them the space to decompress on challenging days. It would serve as a deterrent to elopement and offer peace of mind. By ensuring that their playtime is separate from neighborhood children on days when they feel overwhelmed, this fence can also protect those around them. The family has an estimate for 3 different styles of fences: Pressure treated wood: $7,504 Pressure treated 4x4 and Cedar 2x4 + fence boards: $9,564 6' White Vinyl: $12,112

We are involved with a grandmother who has placement of her four teenage kids. The children have been pushing the limits by sneaking out. The grandmother is doing everything she can to handle them but is requesting cameras to help monitor the children. There is a package of four cameras on Amazon priced at $75. Any help you could give this grandmother would be greatly appreciated.

The mother recently moved to Colorado from New York and is currently homeless. She is in search of stable housing and recently got a job. She had a baby boy in February 2025 and is in need of clothing for work and leisure. She is also in need of items for the newborn, possibly clothing and supplies.

Clothing for the mother; shirts size medium and large, pants size 10 or 12, shoes size 8 or 8 1/2, under garments size 12 and socks.

Help a Teen Prepare for Hospital Admission This Week

A teenage girl in our care is being admitted to a long-term psychiatric hospital this Wednesday to receive urgent mental health care.

The hospital has a strict dress code, and she doesn’t currently have enough clothing that meets the requirements. We are asking for help by collecting Walmart gift cards or arranging a Walmart pickup order to purchase 10 changes of plain clothes and 3 pairs of shoes before her admission.

The estimated total to get clothes from Walmart is $250. Gift cards of any amount are appreciated—even $10 or $20 will help us meet her needs.

If you would like to donate a gift card or help place a Walmart pickup order, please reach out. Thank you for supporting her during this important transition!

A single dad to 4 girls ages 3-11. He has very little help from their mother. He is doing everything he can to provide for his children. They unfortunately had to throw away quite a few things in their last apartment due to a bed bug infestation. He was able to move apartments and get a bed for the older girls, but he and the younger ones share a mattress. The young girls are very bonded to dad and want to stay in his room, but he could use a little more of their own sleeping spaces.

Family is being reunited and has a new home. Working on gathering things to make it feel more like a home and help them get back on their feet. Starting with the beds. I have a full size bed for mom, but looking for twin size beds for each of the two boys. Mom has asked for pillows and I would love to find them bedding as well. Boys are into Pokemon and Sonic the Hedgehog but anything blue would work.

A single mother who is the full-time caregiver for her disabled daughter is struggling to pay her rent after her monthly payment went up. She has starting driving for DoorDash and is looking for other ways to earn income while caring for her child, but she has gotten behind. She needs $262 by May2nd to avoid eviction. Please consider helping this family.

Our church is working together with a family who was recently homeless and is getting back on their feet. For years they have been deeply invested in serving our community. The mother has been a constant source of support, providing food and childcare assistance to local churches, always giving selflessly to others.

We are asking for support to help this family thrive with groceries, summer clothes and shoes for the children, toiletries, laundry detergent, and a gas card. Please consider supporting this family.

WE ARE ENTERING THIS REQUEST IN SUPPORT OF A FAMILY AT MT. ZION CHURCH, AND WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY SUPPORT AND PARTNERSHIP FROM AREA CHURCHES

Here is the story from Mt. Zion:

This request supports a family of 5, including multiple children and a mother who recently delivered a baby via emergency C-section. Due to complications during delivery (e.g., including significant blood loss), the mother faces an extended recovery period. Without paid family leave, this has created financial strain on the household, leaving them approximately two months behind on rent.

This family would be grateful for alternative forms of support so they can redirect their limited funds toward housing.

Immediate needs (with weekly spending on each item) are as follows:

• Groceries - $250
• Gas - $100
• Formula - $50
• Baby Essentials - $50
• Household Essentials - $50

We would like to support this family for 2 weeks worth of expenses, which is reflected in the itemized needs. Thank you for your support!

We are excited to announce that Center Church is collecting items to stock our newly opened Care Closet. Our goal is to provide emergency supplies to families in need right here in City Heights and the surrounding areas.

We are in need of the following items: 25 Twin Bedsheets 10 Standard Pillows 10 Boxes of Diapers 10 Boxes of Baby Wipes 10 Boxes of Ninjamas/Goodnights Kids Clothing (Ages 0-10yrs)
