| Help Now | The client is living on a very limited budget and is using her limited resourcesI am working with a single mother with a 13 year old son who has ADD and Dyslexia. She is presently unemployed and living on her unemployment; she receives no child support. She is busy job searching using the Minnesota Work Force Center, INDEED and friends to find jobs she is qualified to perform. Her transportation is her 2003 Acura and she has been told by her mechanic that it needs major repairs to the struts, brakes and replacement of tires. The mechanic has broken down the repairs into 3 categories and is willing to complete repairs over time doing the most needed first.Submitted by: CAP (Scott-Carver-Dakota) | Shakopee | Yes | N/A | Completed | |

| Help Now | Mother-to-be has no baby supplies and father is not involved in her life.I am writing on behalf of a client I am working with who is in desperate need of baby supplies. Before meeting with her today, she found out that she?ll be having a little boy at the end of April. Several items were donated through FISH, but she still needs a crib and pack-and-play. The baby?s father is not involved and not expected to contribute as he wanted my client to terminate her pregnancy. This soon-to-be young mother is a hard worker, attending school full time while also maintaining a part time job. Being motivated and self-directed, she wants to continue to pursue her education after the baby is born. Childcare will be an issue for her; she has already applied for subsidized childcare with Scott County, but that wait list is estimated to be over a year long. My client lives with her mother who provides support where she can, but cannot offer financial help as she is also living on little. I realize it is unrealistic to ask for assistance with long term daycare costs, however, if anyone has other ideas pertaining to low-cost daycare for a young mother who is pursuing a post-secondary education it would be greatly appreciated.Submitted by: CAP (Scott-Carver-Dakota) | Shakopee | Yes | N/A | Completed | |
