A CASA Volunteer is hoping to take his assigned youth on a special summer outing this weekend. This is something that the youth is really looking forward to, and the CASA Volunteer is trying to find fun, positive, and exciting ways for the youth to spend his free time. They are hoping to go to Boondocks Food & Fun for the day. Support with a ticket would be greatly appreciated!

We have an amazing single foster mom with 3 high needs older youth. One of the youth in her home was followed home from school and is being stalked by a dangerous family member. She put in her notice that she will have to disrupt the placement last week because of all of the youth in her home feeling unsafe, but wants to be able to maintain the placement as this youth is doing remarkable with her. She plans to break her lease and move, but in the meantime feels the need to get a security system installed. Being a single parent with multiple children, the move and the system are taxing on her budget and we are hoping to help her with some of the financial burden. If you are willing to help with any amount, we would be so grateful and it would allow this precious teen girl to stay in a healthy place and for all of them to be safe.

A youth that I am working with is doing everything in his power to be able to move back home with his mother. Due to his mother having a recent kidney transplant, finances are tight. I would love to be able to provide his mother with gift cards of any amount to Wal Mart and/or King Soopers to help her with buying him clothes, bedding, shoes, and supplies to have for him when he moves back home. Thank you for your consideration!

A 14 year old boy was recently placed with his grandmother. Grandmother was recently let go from her long term employment and has struggled to get past the second (in person) interview. She was not planning to retire for a few more years and has been living on her savings, but it was important to her that her grandson not be placed in foster care. Grandmother gardens and cans much of her own food and tries to be frugal, but this placement was not expected. Grandmother would appreciate assistance with groceries as feeding a teen age boy was not in her budget.

I have a kinship placement, great great aunt who moved here from another state to take placement and care for her great great nephew with special needs. Kin placement maintained 2 households for several months anticipating moving back to VA with the child but it had taken much longer for the adoption to be put into place. Kin placement lost her job due to the needs of the child (school issues, he broke his wrist)and having to take off so much work. Kin placement is moving back to VA in July where she has support. Kin is requesting rent assistance for this last month they are in Colorado. Any assistance with her $2000 rent would be much appreciated. The apartment complex can take payment directly, a visa gift card could be extremely helpful, or any other resources. She will also have to cover her moving expenses so this has put a financial strain on her. She has applied for new jobs in VA for when she moves next month.

This family is need of support with groceries and gas. This is a single parent household and the parent recently left her job due to health reasons. There are two children in the home and the parent is asking for support. Your help is appreciated!

A grandmother who is caring for her 4 year old granddaughter is interested in getting her swim lessons so that she can have fun and be safe in the water. Grandmother has found a program that does swim lessons for $120 per month. Child would benefit from water safety.

I am working with a teenager who's foster placement was recently disrupted due to the foster parents getting divorced. The teenager is currently in a respite location but does not have all of her belongings including underwear, pajamas, and school-appropriate attire. There have been several meetings between myself and the foster family to retrieve items, however the youth still indicates she is missing many of her clothing items. I am request giftcards to take the youth shopping to get her provisions needed for her day-to-day life while staying at the respite while other foster options are looked into and investigated. Giftcards to anywhere would be great (Walmart, Old Navy, Target, Visa, etc.)

This family has been working with the family for a couple months. There is an extensive amount of trauma that these teenage girls have been subjected too. As they make another transition in the foster care system, the foster mom could use some help with groceries. The girls on this case are trying to keep up with their extracurricular activities (horseback riding/showing) but with the recent change might not be able to keep enjoying the one activity that helps them cope with their current situation.

The family began with the Department a few months ago. The teenage girls on this case have had an enormous amount of trauma with their father passing away from substance use, mother abandoned them and is using substances, and their grandma recently passed away in August. They do not have any other family to take them. The grandpa has decided he no longer can take care of the children, and the girls have entered the foster care system yet again. The girls have struggled with another change but continue to try and be positive. With their current placement, they share a bunk bed with worn down mattresses. I am requesting two new small mattresses that will help them become more comfortable at their foster home.

The Department just returned a 12 year old back home to her mother after an extended placement in Kinship care. Biomother works and would love for the youth to be able to go to a summer camp to be able to make some friends as she doesn't have any in the area. Biomother can not financially cover the camp. The youth would love to participate in an activity. If you would like to register/pay for this directly I can provide the youth name.

Hello, this youth is still in need of assistance with a summer activity/camp. Either a payment can be made directly to the program or a Visa gift card could be used to pay for the activity/camp. Thank you for your consideration helping with this need

The family is still needing support for this youth to participate in a camp this summer. The cost ranges from $195-$345. Any assistance would be appreciated. A Visa gift card or someone paying online would be very helpful.

This family has continued to be a strong and healthy placement for the kids. There have been multiple struggles they have faced while being the protective caregivers. They continue to put the kid's safety first as the bio parents continue to not complete their treatment plan, speak negatively about them, struggle with substances, and make unannounced visits that have led to the family needing to put up security cameras and take extra measures to ensure safety. Kinship placement is very busy family and hope to involve the kids in more activities this summer that they have never been exposed to. They are asking for some assistance with groceries and snacks for some summer fun!
