Story

•
2 Children 2 Adults

A kinship caregiver recently stepped up to care for two young children placed with her under urgent circumstances. She’s now managing daily transportation across multiple towns for schools and appointments—spending hours each day on the road—all while her spouse recovers from a recent hospitalization. With benefits still pending, she’s stretched thin trying to meet the children’s basic needs on a limited budget. The family is in need of gas support to help with daily transportation, as well as essential items like clothing, shoes, and bedding. This caregiver is doing everything she can to provide safety, comfort, and consistency for these kids. Any support—big or small—would go a long way in helping her continue showing up for them every day with love and resilience.

Clothes- 2 girls. 2X shirts, 2X leggings/sweatpants size 9 shoes/socks. 3X and 2X sports bras. size 8 and 9 underwear

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Margaret is a single mother of 5. She has recently moved into a new place and started a new job. While she is making steps to create a stable home for herself and her children, she is not able to afford a bed at this time for herself nor her other children. At this time she is in need of a full/queen bed for herself and a toddler bed. I know that if she can receive assistance with these items she would be grateful, and it will assist her in getting a step closer to stability.

Requesting: Queen bed and Toddler bed.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

V is a mom and grandma working hard to care for her two children and one grandson. She fell behind on her electric bill due to an illness and missing work and now it's shut off. They were able to stay last night at a friend's house but that's not feasible to do again. Any amount helps to stabilize this family and help prevent the need for foster care!

Help an Individual with Disabilities Improve their Wellbeing

There is a 30-ish year-old young man living at apartments in Castle Rock. He is paralyzed from the chest down and in a wheelchair. He was granted special permission to be at these apartments even though he doesn't qualify due to his age. He receives food from Help & Hope on a monthly basis when they visit him. His family lives in Elizabeth and has even less money than this young man. It is noted that sometimes he will give his money to his mom/dad so they can eat.

Help & Hope has been going to this gentleman's apartment on Wednesdays when they deliver food to him, and have been making his bed and doing light chores for him.

Looking for a weekly/monthly volunteer(s) who would like to visit this young man and assist with light chores?
