Hello CarePortal family!

We’re walking alongside a resilient single mom of two young children who has recently moved out of shelter and is working hard to build a stable home. One of her current challenges is providing a safe space for her infant to stretch, play, and develop while she manages the needs of her household.

To support her in this transition, we’re requesting an Exersaucer to give her baby a secure, engaging space to grow, allowing mom a bit of relief while continuing to care well for her family. Thank you for considering how you might come alongside this determined mom with love and practical support!

Warmly, Cecilia Wallis

We are reaching out with heavy hearts and a deep sense of urgency to ask for your help. A 4-year-old boy from our own Teller County community is in desperate need of support. His young life has already been marked by instability, often being moved from one unsafe home to another, often without enough food, clothing, or shelter. Recently, in an emergency situation, he was placed in the care of a loving relative, his great-grandmother. She welcomed him without hesitation, even though he arrived with nothing but the clothes on his back. This selfless woman is already caring for his older siblings, 9-year-old twins, and is doing everything she can to create a safe, stable, and loving environment for them all. But she cannot do it alone. She is doing her very best, but the financial and emotional strain is overwhelming. As a community, we have the power to lift this family up in their time of need. We are kindly asking for donations to help provide clothing, food, and basic essentials for this young boy and the family that has opened their heart and home to him. Your generosity no matter how big or small can make a world of difference. Together, we can show this little boy that he is not forgotten, that he is valued, and that there is a community ready to stand behind him and his family. Thank you for your compassion and support. We are asking for a Walmart gift card in the amount of $200. 00. Thank you so much for considering this request.

A brave 17-year-old girl from Teller County is reaching out for support after escaping a deeply unstable and unsafe home. After enduring years of hardship, neglect, and instability, often caring for others instead of being cared for herself she made the courageous decision to leave everything behind in search of safety and hope. With nothing but a small bag of clothing, she walked miles to reach a safe place her brother helped her find. She's now in a secure environment, but the journey ahead is still long. Despite everything she's been through, she remains determined, kind, and incredibly resilient. Her dream is to finish high school, earn her diploma, and one day serve our country by enlisting in the military. This young woman has survived more than most do in a lifetime, and now she’s ready to rebuild but she can’t do it alone. She has no financial support, no job history, and no access to the basics many of us take for granted. We’re kindly asking our community to help her get a fresh start. She needs essential items like clothing, toiletries, school supplies estimated at about $200. Any donation, whether it’s a gift card or cash, will make a meaningful difference in her life. If you're able to help, even in a small way, your kindness will go directly toward giving a determined young woman a chance at a stable and bright future. Thank you so much for considering this request.

A young family of 2 children ages 1 and 7 years old are requesting a dryer as they moved into a house from an apartment. The couple have been here from Venezuela for about 2.5 years and help out at Centro Cristiano a Las Naciones with leading music. They moved from an apartment which had a washer and dryer and now they need to provide for their own. The father is looking for work and does odd jobs to help pay for rent, bills, food, clothing, etc. A dryer will help mom take care of her kids so that they will be able to attend school and help their hygiene. Thank you for your help.

A single mother of 5 children missed quite some time from work due to unforeseen behavior issues with her 7-year-old son, who has since been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. Due to these conditions, her son was not able to stay in school full days and she had to stop working for seven months until she was able to get him approved through his insurance for an in school one-on-one counselor, a smaller classroom setting and also a 504/IEP plan. Now that he has those, she has been able to get another job but won’t get paid until June 30th. She has fallen behind on her rent and several other bills. I am requesting help with the following bills: rent for May $833, she has worked out a payment plan with her landlord for the remaining balance if she can get May’s rent paid; light bill $274 and that is with an approval for cooling assistance from social services which starts on 6/15, her disconnect is for 6/16; water bill $54.37 which also has a disconnect for 6/16. I am also requesting assistance with food and gas money. Mom reached out to her social worker about all these requests, but worker was not able to process her snap application in time for her to receive benefits for June, so she won’t receive any snap benefits until July 4. She also needs money for gas to get to her job.
