| Help Now | Vehicle Help for a Hard Working Mom of 3We are currently trying to help a single mom of three girls who works full-time and is doing everything she can to care for and provide for her family. She previously participated in a partner in our network’s program and continues to do well as she builds stability for herself and her daughters. While she is managing her day-to-day expenses, she has not been able to save the extra funds needed for major vehicle repairs. Her vehicle is now in need of new brakes and new tires, and in its current condition it is unsafe for her and her children, especially with winter driving conditions. Reliable transportation is essential for her ability to get to work and safely transport her girls. We are hoping to have this addressed within the next week or so to ensure the safety of this family. We are estimating the cost for the fix would be around $1,200Submitted by: FISH | Shakopee | No | 01/31/2026 | ActiveOffers | |

| Help Now | A mom of 4 in Shakopee needs help for her kids this Holiday SeasonSituation: in general the economy is not the best and as a single mom of 3 with no government assistance, it is hard to handle groceries, kids needs, bills, and things that come up. I have section 8 which has increased a lot this year and it’s been a struggle for my family. I currently haven’t been lucky enough to get extra hours at work or find an extra job that accommodates my family. I currently have car issues that I haven’t been able to fix because of money shortage. My heater stopped working in my car and I haven't been able to save up enough to get my brakes and tires changed in my car. My biggest down right now is I won’t be able to afford any gifts for my kids due to money shortage. I would appreciate any gifts for my kids or help with my car needs at the moment.Submitted by: FISH | Shakopee | No | N/A | ActiveFulfilledOffers | |
| Help Now | Family in our faith community needs our help!This holiday season, we are hoping to bless a hardworking mom who has been navigating an extremely long and emotionally draining divorce process. The ongoing legal costs have placed a significant financial strain on her, and despite these challenges, she is courageously attending school to earn her first college degree—something that will allow her to provide better opportunities for her family after years of being a stay-at-home mom to her three younger children and their three adult siblings. As she balances school, the stress of the divorce, and single parenting, she is currently unable to work, making this season especially tight. There are no urgent material needs at this time, but an extra touch of joy and support would mean the world to this family during a difficult chapter. If you or your organization would like to sponsor part of their holiday wish list or provide a thoughtful blessing, your kindness will make a meaningful impact.Submitted by: FISH | Shakopee | No | N/A | ActiveOffers | |
| Help Now | Mom and kids need some HOPE this Christmas season!A family is being evicted within the next week and currently does not know where they are going to end up. We were able to get them on some waitlists for housing resources, but mom recently lost her job as well, so some resources I thought we could help connect with are not available and things are extremely stressful for her right now. They had not signed up for any gift programs and the one through the county has passed the deadline. If there’s a way that FISH can support this family with gifts, that would be an amazing spot of joy in this difficult time for them. Thank you for the consideration,Submitted by: FISH | All Locations | No | N/A | ActiveFulfilledOffers |
