Request: #238183 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Colorado Springs • State: Colorado • Zip Code: 80909 • County: El Paso • Submitted By: CO- El Paso County DHS

Story

•
5 Children 2 Adults

Caseworker is requesting assistance to help support a newly single young mother trying to gain financial independence and support her five children (ages 6, 5, 3, 2 and 9 months). Mother is the primary caregiver for the children when home but also works full-time trying to make ends meet. Mother works very hard, but is still struggling to get the necessities that are needed when raising five growing children. A $200 gift card to Walmart or Target would help mother during an already emotionally stressful situation and allow her to get ahead in what is crucially needed!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am writing on behalf of a family who receives services from our food pantry and is currently in need of a window air conditioner unit.

The family lives in a duplex with their two-year-old child, and the mother is 22 weeks pregnant. As temperatures have continued to rise, traditional window fans are no longer providing sufficient relief—especially for the young child and expectant mother.

To ensure their health and well-being during this extreme heat, they are kindly requesting assistance in obtaining a window air conditioning unit. Link provided

Help Reunify a Bio Family

The mother in this case is doing really well and is starting to get more visitation/overnight visits with her son. The mother has a bassinet and pack'n'play for the baby but could really benefit from a crib as the child grows bigger.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single mother to a 10-year old son currently facing financial and personal hardship. The mother is unemployed at this time to prioritize her mental health and work through ongoing recovery from substance abuse. She is proud to share that she has receiving her pin for achieving her 1 year of sobriety the beginning of this month. Recently, an unexpected issue occurred when her son's mattress was infested with bed bugs. To prevent further infestation throughout their unit, she immediately disposed of the mattress. Unfortunately, she is not in a financial position to replace the bed on her own at this time. She is kindly asking for assistance in the form of donated box spring and mattress for her son. She is open to either a twin or full sized mattress/bed frame, whichever is available first.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The father of a 6 year old girl is currently receiving services from our agency. He is homeless and is working to create stability for himself so that he can sign up for classes at Santa Rosa Jr. College (already being paid for by 2nd Chance Program). He is currently "couch surfing" and having a difficult time because he lost his phone charger, so is frequently missing important calls and having a difficult time keeping in contact with his probation officer, the social worker, and other service providers and his daughter. A phone charger (USB-C) and a small portable battery pack so he can recharge on the go would be really helpful for him so that he can have reliable communication with these different providers.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

Kristy Crill of The Dive and a fellow member of CCA connected me with a woman and her adult age special needs son who left a DV relationship in the beginning of this year and accepted a new job here in Savannah as a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) with an expected start date of June 23. She and her son have been staying at an extended stay hotel and have exhausted their funds on food lodging and transportation. Her car broke and she relies on uber to get to and from work. This woman is looking for a one week hotel stay down in Richmond Hill near her new job. She is also in need of your prayers.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

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!!!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Hey team, we have a family in our church that serves as a foster family. The birth mom for the child is in need of a convertible car seat so they can have the child for visitation. This would meet a huge need for this mom and child and serve the foster family as well. If you happen to have one in good condition that you could give her that is great or here is an option if you would be available and willing to purchase one. You can just get it to me and I'll make sure the foster family gets it. Thanks so much team.
