Hello, I am writing on behalf of a family of three that is going to be moving into a new place on April first. Mom is leaving a difficult situation, and will be starting over with nothing for her or her two kids. Mom is in needs of all things for her new apartment, as she will not be brining anything from her previous home. Anything from dishware, to dinning table and chairs, couches, bedding, kids clothes, they could use any support to start themselves over again in this new place.

This is a single mother who is caring for three children all on the spectrum. She has recently been struggling with transportation as she needs a new car battery. She is needing to get the battery ASAP as not having a car is limiting her ability to continue her job search, classes and other basic needs that involve personal transportation.

We have a young adult who has recently aged out of the system and is doing most everything independently. There have been many items needed for her new apartment but most important, receiving a vacuum cleaner to maintain her living space. This would be incredibly helpful to relieve some of the stress of acquiring all the items/funding she is having to work through.

The family is in desperate need of a new full-size mattress. After multiple flooding incidents due to faulty piping in their previous apartment, their full-size mattress was ruined which two of their children used. The family was subsequently rushed out of the apartment and while they were able to find a new apartment, they do not have the financial means to purchase a new mattress at this time. The family has five wonderful children between the ages of 2 and 10 and both parents in the home work full-time schedules just to make ends meet and provide for the basic needs of their children. One of the younger children is also in need of a bigger car seat. The family is not one to ask for help, but they have found themselves in a position where help is simply needed.

Hello- I am requesting help to provide some basic necessities for a family of 2, a single mother of a 16 year old female who recently came to Colorado from Peru to escape the violence. They are needing items such as shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent, feminine hygiene products (tampons/pads), and any other personal hygiene products. This little request will substantially help this family as they are trying to establish their residency in Colorado. The 16 year old is very smart, loves math and wants to be an architect when she grows up. Daughter and mom enjoy watching shows together on their phones and taking walks. Gift cards to grocery stores and Target would also be highly effective in helping this family get on their feet. Mom travels by bus, 50+ minutes to her employment. Bus passes or financial assistance to contribute to transportation also helpful.

Client is pregnant with second child and feeling very nauseated. Client has a three year old daughter and husband is working three jobs to sustain family financially. Client recently had an accident and fractured her foot. It is proving hard to care for her daughter and keep up with home duties on crutches. Client inquired and found out her insurance will not cover a scooter. Therefore, client needs to rent one for a few months while she waits to meet with a surgeon at the beginning of May. Client found a place that charges $100 dollars a month to rent.
This will help client care better for her daughter and herself. Client in concerned it will get harder to walk on crutches as her pregnancy advances. Client will get payment information from rental company for donor to pay directly.
Kin provider took in her nieces and nephew, totaling three. She also has two children of her own and is a single parent. Finances are tight for the family and the three children she took in could use some clothing. The 15 year old is more urgent with the clothes, but worker thought a gift card could help kin provider purchase clothes/items for all of the children. Any amount would be appreciated by this family.

Family has a very high needs child who is diagnosed with Angelman's Syndrome. Child is unable to communicate, walk, or care for himself. Mother is a single mother and father is believed to be totally uninvolved. Child's teenage and adult siblings help to care for him while mother works a night job. Family is overwhelmed and experiencing significant financial stress. They recently moved to Colorado from rural Nebraska to have access to more and better services for the child. Due to child's inability to control bodily functions, family needs a leather type couch and loveseat, or sectional, that can be easily cleaned. They currently have no furniture to sit on while sharing time together watching movies, television, or socializing in their living room. Used or new would be acceptable, just something in good shape. Estimated cost based on new, but could be more or less.

Maternal grandparents are caring for their grandchildren. They were previously living with parents, but when it became unsafe, grandparents left the home with the children. They were previously living with friends while they were in the process of renting a home. The family is low income and grandmother has a disability and unable to work. The family is looking for a wonderful individual who may have a few dressers they would like to donate or a toddler bed that their child may have grown out of. Due to the young ages of the children, rugs would also be great to help keep the carpet clean.

She will be a senior in the coming fall and will need a Chromebook laptop to take on-line classes at the community college while she finishes her high school diploma.

Our client is a single mother living in her parents basement with her two children. They share a room and one full size bed. This isn't adequate for 3 people. They could benefit from a king sz bed. This bed would provide more space for the family to get quality sleep. Which will help the children thrive in school and mother be more affective at her job and parenting.
