We’re reaching out to the CarePortal with a special request on behalf of an 11-year-old boy living in a kinship foster home. Right now, he doesn’t have a suitable dresser of his own—a simple but important piece of furniture that many of us may take for granted.

A dresser is more than just a place to store clothes. For a child in foster care, it represents stability, dignity, and a sense of belonging. Having a dedicated space to neatly store his clothes gives him ownership over his personal things, encourages organization, and helps create a sense of normalcy in a life that may have already seen a lot of upheaval.

This young boy is doing his best to adjust and thrive in his new home, and we’d love to help make his space more comfortable and functional. If you have a gently used dresser to donate—or if you’re willing to sponsor a new one—your gift would go directly to making a positive impact in his daily life.

One of our extended youth is working toward his GED and needs a laptop to stay on track with his classes. He’s motivated and putting in the work—we just want to make sure he has the tools to succeed.

We’ve added a laptop to our Amazon wishlist that would be a perfect fit. Go To Link

Thank you so much for helping us support him on this journey.

A 14 year old girl recently moved in with a single caretaker. They are working to put together her room and they are in need of a larger dresser for the youth's clothing. It is the hope that this placement will be a long term or even permanent placement so an nice dresser would greatly benefit the family.

They were able to find a dresser they liked on Amazon: Go To Link

I have a mother who needs car work completed ASAP so she can drive her children back to her home state. The children were placed in foster care three years ago and mother has successfully completed her treatment plan. She drove from Washington to Colorado to pick up her children and hit a pot hole once in Colorado. It appears this has damaged the front passenger wheel hub and tire, which will both need to be replaced.

It is a 2001 Chevy Silverado K1500 5.3 liter, automatic transmission, 4 wheel drive.

Once the work is completed, mother will be driving back to Colorado with her two boys. If you have access to a car repair shop and can offer to help, this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for considering!

Please help a youth aging out of the system. The youth has experiences various traumas which impacted hi ability to make good career path decision. As such, he struggled with his education and is currently struggles with his housing .

However, the youth is now ready to make positive changes to start his career on a good path. His goal is to complete his GED so that he can serve his county enlisting in the Marines. However, in order for the youth to take on this career path he will needs to complete the math section of his GED. Once he complete his GED requirement, he will be able to interview and enlist in the Marines.

At his time, the youth is in need of clothing for his interview and funding to pay for the last portion of his GED exam. A $200 Visa gift card for the youth would really help get in the right path. Please find it in your heart to help this youth who overcame multiple barriers to get to where he is at today.

A family from Lincoln got a notice from the Health Department last week that their rental is being condemned due to lead poisoning. They will be moving out tomorrow and searching for another rental. The family needs some time to be able to find a home that fits their budget and time to be able to strengthen the health of their kids who have been impacted by the lead. We are hoping to provide the family with a one week hotel stay, some giftcards for meals and homecook meals while they are without a kitchen. This family is naturally on top of things; however, this has a large impact on them. What a great way to show and share the love of Jesus with them by stepping in.

This request is for a single mom who has four children- 11 years, 7 years, 1 year, & 2 months. She has no transportation, so she is walking the family everywhere. Given the ages of the children, they all have to go out together. The double stroller is for the 1 year-old and the baby, to make outings more feasible and safe. The donation can be new or gently used. You can drop the stroller off at Woodstock City Church or at Children's Haven, whichever is more convenient.

There is a family with four children, 3 of which are special needs, that got placed in police protective custody this week due to abuse. The children were removed and all 4 (ages 6,4,4,3) are needing beds for their placements. This is an evolving situation and other needs may arise, but the beds are the most immediate need. Thank you for any help you can provide!

A local family in need has been identified by our church. She lost her job and is trying to sell her house because otherwise she is going to lose it. This is one of those situations where circumstances have snowballed into a big mess. She's trying to get back on her feet, but the burden is heavy and discouraging. She needs a hand up. They have food for today and tomorrow. We would like to offer assistance with alleviating some of the bills that are piling up and helping the family to secure quality food options.

We are seeking the funds to pay their electricity bill so that the power can remain on, the phone bill so that she can maintain contact with their realtor as they try to sell the house, and funds for a grocery gift card.

Hey BC fam! We have a foster family in our church that has welcomed newborn twins into their home and is in urgent need of formula support. The babies consume one $40 can per day. The family is asking for $1,200 over the next 4 weeks as WIC will cover the cost after that. Your generosity will help provide essential nourishment during this critical time. Thank you for loving our families well and we know you will continue to do so. The family is grateful for anything!!!
