Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

We are requesting support for a 22-year-old young mother with three children under the age of 5 (4 yrs, 3 yrs, 7 mo) who is facing multiple challenges and is in urgent need of assistance. She is currently employed at a daycare where her children also attend. Unfortunately, the daycare will be closing soon, resulting in the loss of both her job and childcare. She has a past-due balance of over $700 at a previous daycare center, making it difficult to find new affordable childcare options.

Additionally, she is unable to afford basic needs, including laundry services, diapers, and food. She is currently pending food stamp benefits, which have been delayed due to unresolved child support issues with the fathers of her children. She has ongoing issues with one of the fathers and is preparing to move out. He has refused to provide financial support, and the timeline for when child support will begin is uncertain.

This young mother is doing her best to provide for her children during this difficult time. We are asking for $500 in financial assistance to help her meet immediate needs such as food, rent, diapers, and other basic living expenses.

Needs: Financial assistance ($500) Diapers and wipes (3t and 3) Clothing: Girls 6t, Boys 3t, baby boy 9 mo - needs underwear, socks, any clothing Mother is size large Open to picking up the laundry and returning it if possible Needs stackable washer/dryer (gas) Grocery support Encouragement and community support

Help Reunify a Bio Family

The biological mother of a child that has been placed in foster care has been evicted from her apartment. This mother is living in her van until something else is figured out. She has had difficulties getting approved for SNAP and is in need of some help with non-perishable items to keep in her van. I am requesting a $100 Wal-Mart gift card so that she can buy some food.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The mother is in need of assistance. The mother is working hard to try and support her 3 children (triplets) and keep her family together. The mother needs assistance with diapers and clothing items for the triplets. They just turned 6 months old. The children are size 2 diapers and 6 months and up in clothing. This request would assist the mother because the mother is challenged with being the only round the clock caregiver and has no other family in Colorado other than 5 year old son and husband. A gift card to a place where she can purchase these items would be great, or donation of these actual items. Thank you so much.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

This is a family of two kinship caregivers and their three grandkids (4, 7, and 9). The grandparents also care for two other grandchildren outside of DHS care, so they have their hands full (and their hearts as well!). Finances are tights, and the kids are growing quickly. They could benefit from a Walmart gift card in any amount for clothing and groceries.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A family with two children recently took in two dogs from their sister. The dogs almost had their sister evicted from her apartment, and now they are faced a similar dilemma. If they don't find a home for the dogs, they could be evicted. The family is looking for a home for the two dogs. They searched rescue sites and no kill shelters but hasn't received any help or support. Please help support this family by either taking in the dogs or by spreading the word.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Hello! Church, we have an opportunity to come alongside a single mom who is a member at Wildwood & help support her as she cares for the older bio siblings (brothers ages 9 & 12) of her adopted son. The brothers are still in foster care and need care for a period of 10 days in July. To say yes, the single mom needs childcare for the boys while she is at work. There are openings at a local day camp for both boys. The cost for 7 days of camp for both boys is $700. Please keep this family in your prayers - pray specifically for the time the three brothers will have together. If you feel led, please consider giving financially so that we can help support this family, allowing all three siblings to have 10 days together this summer. There are two ways to give financially:

  1. Financial contributions can be made to Wildwood's CarePortal Fund by clicking on this link and selecting the green button that says "Give to our CarePortal Fund." Go To Link
  2. You can contribute online at Wildwood's giving page and in the memo line put "Adoptive & Foster Care Ministry": Go To Link

Please reach out to Naomi at ******@email.com with any questions. Thank you for your support of the Adoptive & Foster Care community at Wildwood!

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to serve two families in our community. While our assistance was very much appreciated, it does not alleviate the on-going need for these families. Both families have young children who are home during the summer months. To ensure that they have access to hot meals during the summer while they are out of school, Heartland is initiating a request to provide food gift cards to each family throughout the duration of the summer.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his three children and could use some clothing items for them. He is in need of a few shirts, a few pairs of shorts, a pair of pajamas, a few pairs of socks and underwear, and a pair of shoes for his 5-year-old daughter (clothing size 5-6, shoe size 11-13), 7-year-old daughter (clothing size 8-10, underwear size 10-12, shoe size 12-13), and 10-year-old son (clothing size 14, shoe size 5). Secondhand clothing in good condition is fine. It would be a blessing for them to have these items by July 11.
