Co. Springs Area Responders

We have a emergency kinship placement that has taken in four children. They are in need of 2 pack n plays for the babies, Size 2 and 4 diapers, wipes and gift cards to purchase clothes for all 4 children. The support this family will receive will ensure that all four siblings will be able to remain together. Used pack n plays would be fine.

Ms. Bell has been working with a truck repair shop to get her only mode of transportation fixed so she can carry out the tasks in her treatment plan. She wants to maintain compliance with substance use treatment and live a drug free lifestyle. The truck repairs total $2000. Mom is able to pay $500 and DHS will assist with $600.00. The truck repair shop has agreed to take a loss of $417.65. That leaves another $900.00 to be requested.

A Teller County family is in need of food assistance. This kinship family recently came together in hopes of providing a home for a child in need so the child would remain with familiar faces versus go into an unknown situation in foster care. The family is able to manage their finances normally, however, groceries are starting to become an urgent matter. This Kinship home said "YES" when others walked away from this child; stretching their already elastic budget to the brink of breaking. We are gently asking our community to come together to provide food in a way so that this family will not need to worry where the next meal will come from, how they will make a meal last, or who will have the biggest portion to fill a belly. Let's come together to support a family who said "yes". We are grateful for help in any amount, and are asking for Wal-Mart or Visa gift cards so the family can shop for their own grocery needs. Note: this family has also been provided community resources such as food pantries. Thank you, friends!

A Teller County family could use a blessing! This family is comprised of a mother, father, a 4-year old girl, and a 2-year old girl. Both parents are employed, but still struggle with food insecurity. Unfortunately, as of earlier this year, they no longer meet the guidelines for economic assistance. While the Department has assisted with providing local resources and the parents are utilizing some food pantries, the need this month is simply too great. Therefore, the Department is respectfully asking if any Care Portal partners can help bridge the gap at this time with Wal-Mart gift cards so that they family can purchase much need supplies. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and consider this ask.

Hello all! This assistance with food is still greatly needed. Thank you for considering!

This is a family of two kinship caregivers and their three grandkids (4, 7, and 9). The grandparents also care for two other grandchildren outside of DHS care, so they have their hands full (and their hearts as well!). Finances are tights, and the kids are growing quickly. They could benefit from a Walmart gift card in any amount for clothing and groceries.

Two young boys, four and two years old, from Teller County are in need of a helping hand. Recently removed from their father’s care, they are now living with their loving grandparents. Their grandparents have stepped up in a big way, doing everything they can to provide a safe, nurturing home where the boys can heal and thrive. Despite the challenges, they are doing their very best to meet the boys’ needs and give them the stability every child deserves. Right now, one of their biggest needs is something many of us take for granted: a proper bed to sleep in. The family is looking to purchase comforter sets, an expenditure that is difficult to manage on top of daily expenses. We’re reaching out to our community to ask for support to help create a safe, comfortable space for these children to rest and grow. Your generosity will help give these boys not just a place to sleep, but a sense of security and care during a very uncertain time in their lives. Thank you for opening your heart and considering a donation. Your kindness means more than words can express. This request is for $130 in the form of cash or visa gift card for the purchase of pillows and comforter sets. Thank you so much for considering this request.

Hi! This is still needed. Thank you!

This request is for $200 in the form of cash or visa gift card for the purchase of the bedframe. The family has picked out a trundle-style bed, which is what will work for the family's space needs. Thank you so much for considering this request.

Requesting multi-layered support for family, ongoing financial hardships and food insecurity. Single father of a 7th grade girl that gets minimal child support/assistance from her mother. He is currently employed as a ride share driver but has inconsistent work hours which directly impact the household income. Due to the varying work hours childcare/after school care is not easily accessible when school is not in session. The family was recently informed that they are no longer eligible for Medicaid or food stamps (the EBT program). The family often struggles, running low or out of essentials in between paychecks, with little extended family to assist when struggling. When speaking with the father, he is preparing for a possible move in August because of projected income struggles versus affordable rent.
