A single mom of four has been working hard to provide for her children. She recently got a job and a vehicle. She uses the vehicle to drive her child to and from school. But, the vehicle is in need of new tires, and mom is unable to afford that.

Mom is also struggling to pay for gas to be able to drive her son to school and get to her job. She is requesting help paying for new tires and fuel.

This foster family took placement of 6 siblings this month. Once a family of 4, now 10! Both foster parents are very happy to have them in their home. They both state that these children have healthy appetites, and they want to be able to provide them with healthy snacks and meals for the home. The family is committed to keeping these children well fed and housed. Food assistance would be greatly appreciated to help them meet this goal. Both parents stated they find Costco the best choice for value and variety. NO KNOWN food allergies. The foster mother also provided a list of clothing needs for each child and will be given in the activity feed to follow.

This family recently went through a bad DV incident with their dad and he was deported because of it. The family is struggling with money and need help with basic grocery needs. The family does not have any health insurance due to being illegal immigrants and are trying to make ends meet.

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.

The kinship family is taking in two eight-year-old girls into their home. The family needs a set of bunk beds to ensure the girls have the appropriate sleeping arrangements. The children would share a room because of the need for bunk beds. The family would be able to provide these children with a stable, loving, and learning environment where the children's needs would be met. Providing bunk beds would help ensure these children have their own space to sleep when in their room. The family can provide a queen mattress for the bottom bunk, if the bottom bunk can be a queen. If the bottom can not be a queen, please keep the bunk bed as a standard size.

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)
