Help Now	Request for Assistance: Helping a Foster Family Stay Connected I am reaching out on behalf of a foster mother who is currently caring for her niece while also supporting her own child at home. She has stepped up during a difficult time for her family and is actively helping her sister work toward reunification with her children. At this time, the foster mom’s vehicle is experiencing mechanical issues that are preventing her from transporting the children to school and to scheduled family visitations. These transportation barriers create added stress and disruption for both the children and the reunification process. I am requesting a donation of $300 to assist with the necessary car repairs so she can continue providing stability and ensuring the children are able to attend school and visitation consistently. Any level of support toward this need would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your consideration and generosity.

Help Now	car repair Hi everyone, I’m currently working with a mom who has faced significant challenges but is determined to turn her life around. After a difficult period marked by struggles with substance use and mental health, she has made remarkable progress and is fully committed to her recovery journey. She has been diligently working on her sobriety, successfully completing her case plan, and is now actively engaged in a therapy program designed to help her mental health. She just got her kids back in her care. Right now, she is looking for employment and has several promising leads that could provide the stability she desperately needs. Unfortunately, just as things were starting to look up, she encountered a significant setback. Her car, which she relies on heavily for transportation, especially for taking her children to their extracurricular activities and fulfilling her own commitments, recently broke down. She took the vehicle to a nearby mechanic for an assessment, only to learn that the total repair cost would be an astounding $1500. This unforeseen expense is far beyond her financial capabilities, leaving her in a challenging position. Without reliable transportation, she risks losing the progress she has made and the ability to fully support her children. This situation is truly disheartening, as a functioning vehicle is essential for her to maintain her commitments and continue her path toward stability and healing.

Help Now	Transportation Help Needed for a Mom Fighting to See Her Kids A local mom is working hard to reconnect with her two young children, a 5‑month‑old and a 3‑year‑old. She is fully committed to rebuilding her life, staying engaged in her court requirements, and showing up consistently for every visit with her kids. Recently, her car began having serious mechanical issues, and she believes the alternator is failing. The problem has been getting worse, and the vehicle now makes a squeaking sound when she accelerates. Without reliable transportation, she risks missing critical court hearings and family visits — both of which are essential steps toward reunifying with her children. She has been quoted approximately $600 to repair the issue and get her car safely back on the road. This mom has been doing everything she can to meet her obligations, but the unexpected cost has become a barrier she simply cannot overcome alone. We are hoping to raise funds to help her get the necessary repair so she can continue showing up for her kids, without interruption, and maintain her progress toward reunification. Any support — big or small — would make a real difference in helping her stay connected to her children and continue moving forward. Thank you for considering a donation to support a family working toward stability and healing. Submitted by: Scott County Child Protection	All Locations	Car Repair	No	1793404800	Active
Help Now	Storage needed for Mom and 2 small children I’m reaching out on behalf of a mother with a 4-month-old baby and a 3-year-old child who is currently navigating an unexpected housing transition. Mom has secured a small apartment for herself and her children, but unfortunately, there is not enough space to safely store all of the children’s belongings. She is in need of temporary storage assistance so she does not have to lose or give away items that her family will need. We are looking for anyone who may be willing to assist with: • A storage unit or help covering the cost of one • A discounted or donated storage space • Connections to a local organization or resource that provides storage assistance to families experiencing housing instability Any assistance, resource, or connection would be greatly appreciated. Even sharing this request with someone who may be able to help could make a meaningful difference for this mom and her little ones. For the family’s privacy, identifying information will remain confidential. 💜 Submitted by: Scott County Child Protection	Scott County	Utilities	No	1796083200	Closed - Filled through FISH

Help Now	childcare balance I am currently assisting a single mother who is raising six children. She has recently applied for daycare assistance to help cover the costs of childcare in the future. However, there is a pressing issue that needs immediate attention: her current daycare facility has set a requirement that she must pay off an outstanding balance of $395 before her children can start attending. This situation places her in a difficult predicament—without the ability to enroll her kids in daycare, she is unable to go to work. This mother is facing significant challenges, including limited support from friends or family, and unfortunately, she does not have the financial means to pay off the balance at this moment. We are reaching out to the community in hopes of finding individuals or organizations who might be willing to help cover this amount so that the children can begin daycare and she can resume her employment.
