Help Now	Storage Unit Access for Vital Documents We are supporting a young mother with one child who is actively working to exit homelessness and secure stable housing. She is in the final stages of qualifying for an apartment but is unable to complete her application process without her birth certificate and Social Security card. Unfortunately, these critical documents are currently in her storage unit. Due to a missed payment while navigating homelessness, she is temporarily unable to access the unit. She needs $157 to bring the storage unit current and retrieve the required identification documents so she can move forward with her housing application. This small but urgent amount will directly remove a barrier to housing stability for this young family and help them take the next step toward permanent housing.

Help Now	🚗 Car Repair Support Needed We have a new resident in our community who is experiencing car trouble that is preventing her from getting to work. At this time, her vehicle will not start and needs to be towed in for diagnostics and repair. Because the car hasn’t been evaluated yet, the exact cost is unknown, but repairs are estimated to be around $500. Unfortunately, this expense is not something she can afford right now.
