This request is for $200 in support of a 14 year old girl who was placed on an emergency basis with her 19 year old sister. Her sister is doing the best to create a stable and nurturing environment, despite limited resources. She is working full time and currently lives in an RV. She without a doubt offered to be of support to her sister and is interested in being a placement for her rather then her sister entering her 15th foster placement. The 14 year old girl is excited to be placed with someone she loves and is her family, her sister is stepping up in a time of family crisis, committed to keeping her sibling safe and out of foster care. The funds will help provide groceries, hygiene products, and other basic necessities that are essential for the teen’s well-being after this abrupt placement, in addition to help alleviate any financial restrain. Any help would be immensely appreciated, thank you for your consideration.

A mother, who is currently completing her probation in GA, and a father who is transient in Colorado Springs are in need of phone minutes so that they can stay in contact with their children, caseworker, providers, and attorneys. Their 3 children, a boy (7yrs old), a girl (6yrs old), and a boy (5yrs old), are placed with father's mom in Colorado Springs. It is critical that mother has a functioning phone so that she can participate in virtual visitation with her children three times a week. Father is currently looking for work. A walmart gift card in the amount of $100.00 would ensure both parents have active, working phones. If this request was fulfilled it would be a huge blessing to these parents. Thank you so much for considering :)

A mother and father of 5 children, ages 5, 2, 1, and a set of 4 month old twins that were born prematurely, are in need of 3 twin sized mattresses.

The Department is working with a mother whose 1-year-old is currently placed in foster care while she addresses the concerns that caused the case to open. She is currently in need of assistance with payment of a past due utilities bill. She is struggling with this expense due to being unable to work due to disability and having no current source of income while the Department assists her in applying for SSDI. She is getting started in all services and highly motivated to have her child returned to her care. This assistance will allow her to maintain her stable housing while she works towards reunification. Any assistance with this need so that this mother can continue to focus on her case and bringing her daughter home is greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I am reaching out in hopes of providing support to a first-time mother who is currently facing a challenging situation. She is caring for her 10-month-old child on her own and has been diligently seeking medical answers regarding her child’s lack of weight gain. Recently, due to ongoing medical concerns, the child was admitted to the hospital, and the mother has remained at her bedside throughout the stay.

As a result, she has been unable to work and is facing financial strain. I am hopeful that someone in the community might be willing to assist by providing Visa gift cards, which would allow her to purchase essential items such as diapers and food while she remains in the hospital. It is also likely that her child will need to transition to a specialized, more expensive formula, and any support provided would help her prepare for that upcoming need.

Any assistance would be deeply appreciated and would go directly toward helping this mother care for her child during this difficult time.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

A mother of an 11 yr old girl, a 9 yr old boy, a 4 yr old boy, and a 3 yr old girl is in need of assistance due to financial hardship. She is experiencing unexpected financial burden and is having a difficult time providing enough food at her weekly visits with the children. A gift card for groceries in the amount of $300 from King Soopers would be a huge blessing for her at this time and would remove a food insecurity barrier to ensure the children are always fed. Thank you in advance for your consideration! If this was granted, she would be so grateful!
