The mother of the family is needing phone card due to hers no longer working. This would allow for the mother of the children to be able to communicate with her providers, attorney and caseworker to ensure that she is following her court ordered treatment plan. It has been difficult for the mother of the children to report when she is going to miss her appointments or other treatment without having a phone. Thank you!

Dad is really struggling and is in need of a phone to keep in touch with his attorney and service providers. He is homeless and desperately in need of a phone. Thank you!!

This resilient Douglas County family is working hard to rebuild stability after the father lost his job and housing due to medical challenges. Now living in a family shelter in Aurora, the mother is employed full-time, while the father is actively job searching, attending fatherhood classes, and caring for their children.

They remain connected to Douglas County through work and community ties. Gas cards would help them stay mobile for work, housing searches, and meaningful family outings during this transitional time.

Parents have found an income based housing that does have an opening for them to move into. Parents have discussed being able to afford the ongoing rent moving forward but are asking for any assistance possible so they can cover the deposit and buying furniture for their new apartment. Parents are currently homeless, and staying with friends. By getting into a stable residence, they could have a safe and stable living environment and have their son returned to their care.

This request is on behalf of a resilient young family of three who were impacted by the recent Altadena fires. The family was living in a backhouse that was consumed in the fire, forcing them to lose not only their home but also their means of livelihood. Both parents are hardworking entrepreneurs who had built a thriving housekeeping business serving clients across Altadena and Pasadena. Unfortunately, many of their clients' homes were also destroyed in the fire, resulting in a loss of income and clientele. In addition to losing all of their cleaning equipment and supplies in the fire, they also lost the foundation of the business they worked so hard to build. Through the support of friends and family, they have been able to recover a significant amount of their cleaning supplies and are actively working to rebuild their business and regain clients. Despite their determination and efforts, the financial disruption has created a significant hardship. They have since secured a new residence and have been living there for a couple of months. However, catching up on rent has become a major challenge due to the debt they incurred during the aftermath of the fire. I am seeking support to help cover two months of rent totaling $4,820, which would provide this family the financial breathing room needed to stabilize and continue rebuilding their lives and business.

Two youths who aged out are in need of storage space as they're in temporary housing with an old foster parent, a queen bed, and an air conditioner.

A family that received a crib for a kinship placement could use a kitchen table, chairs, and a couch. This will help the family with ongoing needs.
