Village Seven Presbyterian Church

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. She has had difficulties getting approved for SNAP and is in need of some help with non-perishable items to keep in her van. I am requesting a $100 Wal-Mart gift card so that she can buy some food.

The mother is in need of assistance. The mother is working hard to try and support her 3 children (triplets) and keep her family together. The mother needs assistance with diapers and clothing items for the triplets. They just turned 6 months old. The children are size 2 diapers and 6 months and up in clothing. This request would assist the mother because the mother is challenged with being the only round the clock caregiver and has no other family in Colorado other than 5 year old son and husband. A gift card to a place where she can purchase these items would be great, or donation of these actual items. Thank you so much.

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.

A single dad needs help paying for his rent where his 7 year old daughter and him reside. Father was just reunited with his daughter after a year and soon after reunification he had to have an emergency medical surgery and his company let him go due to missing some work. He started a new job already but is falling short on rent and just needs some help to get back on his feet and be the father he has been working so hard to be, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Male child age 5 Mom is in need of her phone bill paid. Helping meet this need will provide opportunities for Mom to engage in services and aid in reunification with her child. Mom was recently evicted from her home and is exploring sober living and is egger to engage in services. Having a phone will aid in the opportunity to progress in treatment services, attend family time, explore safe/stable housing and employment. The total price will cover June and July phone payments allowing Mom substantial time to make significant progress.

CASA has a case with three children all in foster care after being removed from their parents due to homelessness, substance use, neglect and sexual abuse. They have been out of home for over six months and it is not looking like they will be returned any time soon, unfortunately. Two of the children really enjoy hanging out with the foster dad, who loves to go for bike rides, and would love to have their own bikes. CASA is asking for bikes for an 8-year-old boy and 11-year-old girl in the form of a Walmart gift card (so they can pick them out themselves). This can be purchased electronically and emailed or a physical gift card can be bought and CASA can connect with the community member to get it. Thank you for considering this request!

A mother of 3 children, two boys and a girl, has been completing her probation in Georgia. She has recently become homeless and due to loss of employment and safety concerns, she no longer has anywhere to stay. Her sister, who lives in NJ, has offered to have mom come out there to stay with her for a few weeks so she can help her get a plan in place to either stay there or return to Colorado, where her children are. A visa gift card of $300 will help cover airfare to New Jersey so she can stay with her sister for the time being. Thank you so much for your consideration!

The three children are in foster care here in Colorado Springs, and are hoping to have an in person visit with their father. He lives in Maryland, and is on SSDI so he is unable to pay for the full cost of a trip (flight and hotel) for him to come see his children. He is requesting assistance to cover some of the trip at least so he is able to see his kids in person.

The Department is working with a father whose 1-year-old is currently placed in foster care while he addresses the concerns that caused the case to open. He is currently in need of assistance with a rent payment. The primary company that employs him has switched contracts and laid everyone off and in the process of processing employees out, checks have been delayed. As a result, he is struggling to make his July rent payment. This father is getting engaged in all services, participating in visits, and highly motivated towards a reunification. Any assistance with this need so that this father can continue to focus on his case and bringing his daughter home is greatly appreciated!

Parents ages 52 and 44 years old have stated that they need financial support to obtain bus tickets to be able to have family time with their daughter in Denver Colorado. Parents have stated that they do not have enough SSI income to meet the need of purchasing bus tickets. Parents have stated that it is either bus tickets or their next meal. Their 8 year old daughter enjoys spending time with parents and seeing them once per week.

Hello, I am requesting a Visa gift card of $100-$200 (+activation fee) to cover the cost of ongoing weekly visitations for 2 teenage girls and their father who is currently detained. The girls are in the care of a family friend and having the added expense of $7.50 per 30 minute visit two-to three times a week is quickly adding up. A donation toward these this cost will ease the burden on the caregiver while maintaining the parent-child relationship. Thank you!
