Story

•
1 Child

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.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I am writing to advocate on behalf of a dedicated single father who recently relocated to our community with his three young children in search of a safer, more stable environment and a brighter future. Since arriving, he has made significant strides, including securing stable housing and creating a supportive home for his family.

Despite his progress, the family is currently facing a critical need: the lack of a washer and dryer. With three young children, access to clean clothing is essential for maintaining health, dignity, and a sense of normalcy. This gap places an additional strain on the family’s daily life.

At present, the father is unemployed but actively searching for work. His efforts have been challenged by the lack of reliable and affordable childcare. Nonetheless, he remains fully committed to building a better life for his children and is taking every possible step toward self-sufficiency.

To help meet their immediate and essential needs, we are seeking support in obtaining the following items:

Washer

Dryer

We would be deeply grateful for any assistance—whether through a donation, referral, or connection to low- or no-cost resources—that could help ease this family’s burden and support their ongoing transition to stability.

Thank you for your time, compassion, and consideration.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

The family consists of mom and her three children. She works hard to care for them. She has requested assistance with new beds for the two oldest children (twin bed frame + mattress) as well as diapers for the youngest child. The family currently has bunk beds but the mattresses have worn out and the mother has requested two separate beds for the children, rather than bunk beds. DSS is also assisting with putting in referrals for services for the family. Please consider helping this family!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A loving single father is doing his best to care for his young daughter while living on a fixed income through Social Security. As a disabled parent with limited resources and no support from child support, providing for his daughter’s growing needs has become increasingly difficult.

He is currently in need of clothing for his daughter. With each season and growth spurt, the cost of essentials adds up, and right now, he’s struggling to keep up. Providing clothing would not only meet a basic need, but also lift a heavy burden from this dedicated father’s shoulders and bring comfort and dignity to his little girl. Note: All items can be found at Walmart.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Hello, seeking medical bill assistance for a single mom of two children. The teen daughter needed an orthodontal surgery, and mom has been on a payment plan for this. Unfortunately, last summer mom sustained an injury resulting in multiple reconstruction surgeries of her leg, resulting in losing her job and an extensive recovery. In good news, mom just recently has been able to start confidently driving again, thus is seeking steady employment. This financial request will assist with missed payments for the orthodontist surgery, to alleviate some of the expense stress on the family. If no payments are made by July, the braces will be removed with no retainer due to incomplete treatment, and the bill will be forwarded to collections. If someone is able and willing to help out with this unpaid late bill, that would be a HUGE help to this family.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

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.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

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.
