Story

3 Children 1 Adult

The children are residing with a family member to assist mother her case plan goals. The caregiver needs beds to facilitate a safe and appropriate sleeping quarters for the three children. The items that are needed are one set of bunk beds, two twin mattress, and two twin comforter sets. Also, a toddler bedframe, toddler bed, and toddler comforter. All three children are female. Relative caregiver is on a limited source of income helping the family was unexpected and did not allow her time to prepare for the children arrival. Although, relative caregiver is having that challenge, caregiver is meeting the case plan goals/court orders. Furthermore, caregiver is committed to providing the three younger children with housing until mother can secure housing while the shelter, she is residing in does not have room to accommodate all seven children which is why the younger three are placed temporarily with family. The main reason I am requesting this need to be fulfilled is because the children need proper bedding to facilitate a safe sleeping environment. If this need is not meet for the younger three children, they risk the possibility of being taken back into DCFS custody and reunification services begin again. This need is being requested through Care Portal because unfortunately DCFS will not provide the items in a timely manner and possibly take up to 8 – 10 weeks. The estimated cost of the need/s being requested is $1,185.00 dollars.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This young single mom (CP) of a 2 yr old moved into her first apartment in April through an income-based apartment and has a job at the mall. She's run into some really rough times and is struggling to make ends meet as her job has reduced her hours significantly and her car is not working. She is sleeping on an air mattress that goes flat every night. We are hoping to connect her with someone willing to provide a new or gently used mattress to get her off the floor. She lives in Boulder and has no transportation, so we are hoping the donor would be willing to bring to her directly. She also needs a microwave and this would help her with food preparation for her and her son.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

CP is a 21 yr old single mother of almost 2yr old boy ER. She moved into her first apartment in April through an income-based apartment and has a job at the mall. Unfortunately, she was in a car accident and her car is not reliable right now and has no funds to repair it. She has been having to Uber to and from work, which is getting very expensive. So, her job has reduced her hours and demoted her until she can get more consistent with getting to work. Her support system is 90 min away, but they are who help her with her son when she does work. She could really use $200-300 in Uber gift card to help her over this hump in getting around until her car can get repaired. She is a lovely young lady who is struggling very hard these days and could use this to help her and her son. Any Uber gift card amount would be appreciated.
