This request is to support with gas cards to help a bio family member with travel expenses to see a child. The request is $300 in gas cards. Any help with full or partial request is appreciated.

A mother and her two children are domestic violence survivors. Mom has just found a safe location for them to move into, but she is in need of a bunk bed or two twin beds for her children. Any support in acquiring these items, including financial contributions towards the beds, would be greatly appreciated, as we want to ensure that the family can land somewhere safe and secure.

Four children were placed full time with their father following the sudden death of their mother. The father, along with his mother, immediately moved into larger housing to accommodate the children full time instead of a few days a month. His landlord is allowing him to do the security deposit on a payment plan. His mother is caring for the children in the home while he works two full time jobs to provide for his family. He is re-working his budget to accommodate these changes to the family but in the meantime, would appreciate assistance with groceries.

A three year old and nine year old have been placed with their grandmother for the past two years due to domestic violence and parent substance abuse without financial support from either parent. Grandmother quit her job so she could care for the children, which has created some financial hardship for the family. She recently felt comfortable returning to work part time, but the family's finances are still tight. The three year old has outgrown his car seat and is in need of a bigger one he can grow with over the next several years.

A youth I am working with is in need of a laptop of his own. His preference is a refurbished Mac Book but he is grateful for anything that allows him to connect to the Internet and has video/virtual capabilities so he can participate in virtual family therapy sessions with his mom.

This family recently started working with the Department. Concerns involved domestic violence which led to mom leaving her husband. Through this process she has become the sole provider and is 100% responsible for the kids, especially now that her mom recently passed away. Mom has been financially dependent on father but is now working two jobs to try and keep the apartment she is currently in. Her son has unexpectedly needed to have surgery this week, so she had to access funds for her rent and groceries. I am requesting grocery assistance for this month to help her and all three of her children. Thank you for any and all help!

A youth was living with her grandma, but she made some poor choices in grandma's home. Her aunt stepped up to provide her with a home and new opportunity. However, her aunt has multiple children living with her and all of the children are sharing a room. Currently without a bed, the aunt is giving her bed to the youth and she has been sleeping on the couch. We are requesting a bunk bed for a family please, so the aunt can have her bed back.

This family has been struggling with basic needs including grocery and regular dinners for the kids. The mom has exhausted multiple food banks, friend, and family supports. She is using the last of her canned goods to help her family. She is now facing having to sell her home potentially and move her family into a smaller apartment. She is trying to pick up extra work and still achieve all requirements set by the Department. Any help with grocery money for this month would be extremely beneficial!

This foster family has two teen girls who they would love to take on camping trips with them. Both girls have never gone camping and the providers love to enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Colorado. They are in need of a sleeping bag for each girl and tent they can share in order to make these trips happen. Any help would be appreciated!

This family recently had a baby 2 weeks ago and are looking for some assistance with gas or grocery cards. They are needing to get basic necessities for their newborn but are tight on money. They parents are young and first time parents.

Parents recently had a child a couple weeks ago and are young. The family is looking to get a locked box for safety in the home for their newborn. They do not have a lot of money and are looking to get some help with this.

This foster mom has moved mountains to provide a home for three teens. Now she is opening her home to another hard-to-place teenager. As she prepares for this teen, he will need to share home with another teen in the home. In order for both teen boys to share a room she is in need of two twin beds. Will you come beside this foster mom by providing a mattress to call theirs that will fit in the bedroom they will share?
