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. The brakes in her van need replaced. Right now her van is her home and her transportation to see her child during family time. I am requesting $100 for front and rear brake pads for her vehicle.

DHS is working with a mother who is asking for help with gas. This mom currently lives in Denver but has supervised family time in Colorado Springs. If this care portal is picked up it will allow this mom to not have to worry about gas so she can see her 6 children, (2 sets of twins) who's age's range from 1-15. Thank you for considering.

A hard working family of seven, consisting of a mother (43 yrs old), father (56 yrs old), and five minor children (ages 17, 15, 13, 11, and 6), currently resides in a two-bedroom apartment. The father, who is the sole provider, works two jobs, while the mother stays home to care for the children due to her undocumented status, which prevents her from securing stable employment. Occasionally, the mother takes on housekeeping jobs to supplement the family’s income. The family is experiencing significant financial hardship due to the inconsistent nature of the father’s work as a gardener. As a result, they are only able to meet some of their basic necessities. The eldest child is actively seeking employment to help with household expenses. Currently, the family receives rental and utilities assistance from The Help Group’s Prevention and Aftercare Program and is enrolled in CalFresh to supplement their food budget. They are also participating in psychotherapy to enhance their emotional well-being and stability. The 15-year-old child has outgrown her child-sized bed, and the family could really benefit from a twin-size bed and mattress. The child's birthday is also coming up in August and she has expressed a wish to have a larger bed.

Hello, I have a case with 5 children who are placed with their grandmother in Georgia. She is a single person who took in 2 pre-teens and 3 young children including a baby. She is doing well making that adjustment and has some help from her other adult children when it comes to taking care of the kids, but could use some assistance with things like diapers, wipes, hair products, clothes and school supplies as the next year is coming up. Being that they are in Georgia a gift card would be excellent. She is able to purchase all of these supplies at Walmart and would appreciate anything that could help with some of the financial need of these 5 children. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

A Karen family that has been recently able to move into a house now has the fun of doing the yard work. They really could use a lawn mower to help them. if you have a new or a used one that runs well, please consider donating it to them.

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.
