Shine Church

This family recently endured a horrific tragedy. The child is placed with her brother who is legally blind and her mother recently was involved in a murder suicide attempt. Child's brother and child share the same mother and are undergoing grief from losing the child's father as well as coping with the mother being in the hospital with gunshot wounds. Any type of meal service/Uber gift cards would help strengthen this family during the grieving process. Anything helps this family at their time of need and being that kinship is disabled, it would be very helpful to assist family with meals and food at this time to help alleviate the stress of eating/cooking.

Foster Care youth has emancipated into an apartment and is still in need of a few other items such as 2 pillows and a floor lamp. Youth is still attending high school and does not have a lot of family support.

Foster Youth recently graduated high school and is enrolled in a auto mechanics trade school in Denver. He will be emancipating to an apartment on his own and is in need some extra items for living on his own. He is still in need of a pots and pan, plates, silverware, vacuum(BISSELL Featherweight Stick Vacuum Cleaner type), broom, mop, and diffuser or a purifier. He would also like to have a bean bag lounge item for his tv area if possible.

This family is needing a locked box for their childs medication to ensure he does not access them without parental knowledge. The child has severe mental health needs and the locked box would ensure his safety.

This dedicated single mother needs support in getting a Hepa Filter for her child who struggles with asthma. I had previously put this request in and it was fulfilled but when the hepa filter got delivered it was stolen.

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.

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.

This family has been working with the Department for a few months. Mom has been doing everything she needs to help her get back on track, but she has suffered some medical issues including vomiting spells, nerve issues with her back, and extreme fatigue. She continues to make all of her appointments despite her discomfort but now faces houses struggles when her apartment fell through, she lost her job and is worried about being homeless now. Upon meeting with her, she had very little food and was not eating consistently due to her struggles. This mom continues to work hard despite all of her setbacks but could use help with groceries for this month as she scrambles for a new home.
