Story

1 Child 2 Adults

This kinship caregiver has been living with friends and family, as well as various hotels since the fall of 2024. She took placement of her great niece, who is a teenager, to prevent her from being placed in foster care. The caregiver is a single parent who has raised her own daughter (now an adult) as well as her great niece. She is requesting assistance with securing a stove and refrigerator. She is unable to afford the appliances, due to the cost of first months rent and deposit to obtain her new home.

The stove can be any size as the space around the stove is open per the caseworker. Electric is needed. The refrigerator can be up to 35.5 inches tall, 3 feet wide, and 25 inches deep.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

CASA has a case with three children who were removed from their mother's care due to her substance use, mental health struggles, educational neglect and regular neglect. The mother has since passed away and the father is taking in two of the children. He has had to miss a lot of his hourly pay job to get the kids settled into his home and resources/appointments. He could use help with groceries for the home in the form of a Walmart or King Soopers gift card. Thank you for considering.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
