Request: #231703 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Colorado Springs • State: Colorado • Zip Code: 80907 • County: El Paso • Submitted By: CO- El Paso County DHS

Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

The department is working with a 17 year old male that was previously involved in an abuse and neglect case. As a result of the trauma faced and also the family's gang involvement, he also was affiliated with that life style. He is currently in a placement that is supporting his transition out of that life and he is going through therapy to work through the abuse that he suffered. This youth has requested a amazon gift card to be able to get new clothes and shoes. As a result of this need being met he reports that he will feel more comfortable and confident in himself to create those pro-social supports with the other youth at this placement that he desperately needs and wants.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A wife and her husband and their two children lost everything. They are currently running several foster homes for kids and continue to put that as a priority. They have been able to find temporary housing, but the cost of replacing items for them and their two children is increasingly difficult as they are still making mortgage payments and with the $6,000/mo rental. They have been able to receive some insurance payouts, but with the increase costs of goods, they are not going to be able to have that cover the rebuild. I am advocating for $2000 as they are needing to make purchases for clothing and small items for their temporary housing.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

We are seeking support for a kinship caregiver who has opened their heart and home to care for a 6 year old boy placed with them through child welfare. While the caregiver is committed to providing safety, stability, and overall support for all of his individualized needs. Having support with transportation will support kinship caregiver easing the burden of transportation to to maintain consistent transportation to school, therapy, and vital services. These routines are critical for the child's sense of normalcy, emotional well-being, and steady progress. A gas card or donation would go a long way in helping this caregiver maintain the consistency the child needs to feel anchored, encouraged, and hopeful during this challenging time.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Please consider helping a single mom and her 2 year old daughter here in our Scottsville community. They are in need of a refrigerator as theirs went out and now they do not have one. This would help them keep cold food instead of just shelf food for meals. This single mom works multiple jobs including an in-home bakery. Appliances are very expensive and finances are tight for her. Not only would this help with their food but it would also help her continue her business and the flow of income.

We have contacted Doug's Maytag in Scottsville and they have a new Amana for $667 or a new Whirlpool for $754. There is a $79 delivery fee and they will remove and dispose of the old one for her.

If you do not have a refrigerator to give, please consider giving financially through Go To Link In the "Give To" section select "Single Mom's Ministry" with a note for "Refrigerator".
