Help Now	🚗 Help Needed: Car Repairs for Family Rebuilding Stability A family transitioning out of homelessness is in need of support to repair their vehicle so one parent can reliably get to and from work and ensure their children can get where they need to go. Their car currently requires several repairs, including a starter replacement, turn signal repairs, and a few additional fixes to make it safe and functional. The total estimated cost from a local auto body shop is $916.26. Having a working vehicle would make a significant difference in this family’s ability to maintain employment, support their children, and continue building long-term stability. If you are able to contribute toward this need, it would be greatly appreciated.

Help Now	🚨 Urgent Need – Help a New Mom Bring Her Twins Home Safely A local mom has just welcomed twins and is ready to leave the hospital today—but is unable to do so safely without two infant car seats. Due to a tight financial situation, she wasn’t able to fully prepare for the babies’ arrival and now urgently needs support. Having proper car seats is required for discharge, and this is the final barrier to getting her newborns home. We are looking to raise $500 to purchase two infant car seats from Target. Your support will help ensure these babies can leave the hospital safely and start their journey at home with their mom.

Help Now	Beds Needed for Family Transitioning into Housing A family of three is exiting homelessness and has recently been accepted into housing. The household includes one parent who is disabled and a teenage child who is tall, making a twin bed not a suitable option. They are in need of larger-sized beds to ensure both comfort and proper rest as they settle into their new home. Based on current pricing at Walmart, the cost for a bed frame, mattress, and a “bed-in-a-box” (including sheets and a comforter) is approximately $300 per person, totaling $600 for this need.

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.

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.
