Request: #240834 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Fountain • State: Colorado • Zip Code: 80817 • County: El Paso • Submitted By: CO- El Paso County DHS

Story

3 Children 1 Adult

A kin placement who took two boys and a girl under emergency circumstances, is in need of assistance. Taking the children into her home significantly increased household expenses, especially grocery costs. Provider unexpectedly had her food stamps stolen and was told she may not receive her benefits again until August. She is concerned about keeping enough food in the house until her financial support kicks in. A gift card for groceries in the amount of $300 from Walmart of King Soopers would be a huge blessing for her to ensure the children are always fed. Thank you in advance for your consideration

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

One of our moms has a 5 month old baby girl that sleeps a lot better in a baby swing - and gives our teen mama some rest as she does other things around the house during naps. She doesn't have any "safe" sleep places currently for her baby other than her own bed, but she fell off once during a nap. She has no support and does everything on her own, so this would be such a gift to her to have for her baby!

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A blessed opportunity to help a young, Christian family make it through a very difficult time in the heat of summer. A mother and father trying to secure a roof over their young children and feed their family. Tragically, the mother just lost her baby during delivery; father had to take time off from work to take care of her. He is back working but they are behind a few paychecks.

They need help to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks while they save money to rent an apartment (the apartment isn't ready yet). They could also use help with essentials and food.

If we can help them now, it will stabilize their income and resources for the future.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We currently are fostering 3 children and want to continue to make their experience meaningful. We have a 12 year old girl who could use some basketball shoes (size 7.5) and probably extra socks. We also have a sibling set ( girl 2, boy 1) who could use some pajamas. She wears 3T and he’s in 18month. Diapers and wipes are always needed. Thank you so much!
