I note that even if you do really well in CC, it is unlikely you will end up being able to transfer to a Reach college, so would most likely end up at a Likely or Target anyway. So in situations like yours, you may save some money choosing a CC, which can be very important to some families, but it is unlikely to significantly alter your ultimate four-year college options.
Anyway, to be blunt, you are otherwise asking these schools to give you a break due to extenuating circumstances and take you over other kids who did not need such a break because they had consistently good grades. Which may in fact work at one or more colleges, but it also may not, and it is virtually impossible to predict where, if anywhere, it will work. It is going to come down to whether a given reader/committee decides they want you badly enough to take you over those other sorts of applicants, and that is not really predictable.
That being said, your best bet is to explain why you are such a great fit for that specific college that they should make such an exception. So I would reflect on where that is really true for you, and then focus on a shorter list of such colleges where you can make that case in as compelling and specific way as possible.
