| Help Now | Car, housing needLooking for assistance for a single mom who recently lost her fiancé. She has three kids, ages 15, 11 and 4. She has been living with her fiancé’s family and renting from them. She has worked the whole time and is very reliable. She is all caught up on rent so that is good. They are looking for at least a three bedroom in or near New Prague so that the kids do not have to change schools. Right now she is paying $830 for rent but can afford up to $1600. Her car also recently broke down so she is in need of a reliable vehicle. Looking for leads on housing, a reliable car or money toward the purchase of a car or supplies so they move into a new home and start a life together on their own.Submitted by: Hope for the Community Food Shelf | New Prague | No | N/A | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
| Help Now | Housing AssistanceWe were contacted by a family that is needing help with housing. At the time of the email, the family of 4 were living at fish lake campground for 2 months living in a camper. the campgrounds are closing for the season and they aren't really sure where to go. She and her husband were both laid off in March because of covid. They were living in a rental property for 4 years and their landlord told them he couldn't rent the home anymore and needed to move in 30 days. They have stayed in the Walmart parking lot for the last 2 nights. Prior to that, they stayed in 2 different rest stops. Her husband was able to find a job but they pay 170 weekly at the campground so it doesn't go far. We have put them in touch with a contact at the CAP agency however, hotel gift cards would be appreciated to get them out of the camper until they can find housing. Thank you so much for your consideration.Submitted by: Hope for the Community Food Shelf | Elko New Market | No | N/A | Closed - Not Filled | |

| Help Now | Family needs help with car paymentThis is from a contact I have working with the food shelf: A Long and a big ask——A young gal I met last year because she got help with free beds from a free store I take clothes to really needs our help. UPDATE: CAR PAYMENTS FILLED THROUGH FISH - THANK YOU! STILL NEEDS ALDI OR WALMART GIFT CARDS: She is 22 and raising 4 siblings. She takes them to school, feeds them and helps them with their homework. She goes to conferences and gets the calls from the school. She is not mom but their sister. They are 5, 10, 11 and 13. She takes them to the ER in the middle of the night if they need it. She has them about 4-5 days a week and they are with their mom a couple days a week but it is not ideal when they are gone. This young gal is amazing and such an inspiration to me. She is a full time college student and works full time at a group home. She is so kind and compassionate and doesn’t want her siblings needs not met so she continues to try to do everything. She doesn’t get any money from the county and it isn’t an option. She is $916 behind on her car payments- three months worth. She had to pay in for taxes so that put her behind. She will lose her car by this Friday if $607 is not paid. The other 307 is due April 25 also but the car will get taken away if 2/3 isn’t paid by Friday. I found a church to pay $300 and praise the Lord for that.Submitted by: Hope for the Community Food Shelf | New Prague | No | 1556236800 | Closed - Filled through FISH |
