Story

3 Children

I’m currently working with a young mother of two who has been doing an admirable job saving money in preparation for a move. She’s turning 21 soon and is focused on finding a home within her budget. Unfortunately, due to ongoing health challenges, she’s limited in the number of hours she can work.

There have also been delays in receiving support funds from DCFS, which has made it difficult for her to purchase clothing for her growing children. A gift card to Target or Burlington would be extremely helpful in meeting this immediate need. With this support, she would be able to continue focusing on her long-term savings goals.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A bio mom is starting her recovery journey. She does not have a way of transportation but that did not stop her from getting a job to be able to provide for herself and her children. She is currently walking to work every morning, and she lives 4.6 miles away. A bicycle will be a huge support for her until she can get on her feet and get something more reliable. Any type, no preferences but maybe a light reflector in case is dark. Does not need to be new either if it works. Thanks in advance.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

We’re seeking community support for a dedicated mother working hard to reunify with her children and build a better future. She recently moved to Clovis from Chaves County in search of stability and has already secured part-time work with a home care company while completing her training. Her long-term partner is also working toward employment.

She was recently approved for a Trial Home Visit (THV) with three of her four children—a hopeful step forward. Her oldest remains in residential treatment, but she’s meeting her goals, testing clean, and staying in regular contact with her CASA advocate and CYFD worker. She’s committed to creating a safe, loving home for her family.

However, her home lacks air conditioning—a serious concern during the hot summer months. Of the four bedrooms and shared living/dining space, only two rooms have windows that can hold AC units. She’s asking for two window units to help keep her children cool and comfortable as they transition home.

If you can donate a unit or help sponsor one, your support will make a meaningful impact on this family’s journey. Thank you for standing with them.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

A youth I am working with is in need of a laptop of his own. His preference is a refurbished Mac Book but he is grateful for anything that allows him to connect to the Internet and has video/virtual capabilities so he can participate in virtual family therapy sessions with his mom.

The one he sent me through Amazon is linked here: Go To Link

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The Denver Human Services' GIVE Center is in urgent need of 3T/4T Pull-Ups for the children and families we serve. Each year, the GIVE Center supports nearly 4,000 clients who rely on us for essential, emergency resources—including diapers. Many of the parents and caregivers who visit the GIVE Center struggle to access diapers due to financial hardship, especially as diaper prices continue to rise. Ensuring these families have access to the right diaper sizes helps protect the health and well-being of their children. With your support, families will be able to leave the GIVE Center with exactly what they need.

Below is a link to the specific Pull-Ups we’re requesting. We also gratefully accept alternative brands and other diaper-related donations. Go To Link Thank you for helping us care for Denver’s children and families!
