Help Now	Donation for basketball shoes needed I am working with a family that has a 14 year old boy who would like to take basketball for the first time. They were able to pay for the fees, etc. but money is short to get him a new pair of basketball shoes and some socks. They are newer to the community, and this would allow him to not only get some exercise but also hopefully make some friends on the team. He is really looking forward to trying this sport and the parents are very supportive but money is tight as mom is looking for a job.

Help Now	Moving Assistance I am currently working with a single mom and her two children. This parent has struggled with homelessness since May 2025 and recently is able to move out of Hope's Portage and into her own apartment!! She is so excited to be able to have stable housing and make a home for her two children. She is moving from Hope's Portage on Friday 10/23 and is able to complete that move on her own. However, she has a storage unit in Hopkins that she needs assistance with moving the items from Hopkins to Shakopee. Our hope is to find some volunteers who have vehicles that could move what's in her unit (including furniture) or assistance with a truck rental and some willing bodies to assist with the moving. Please reach out to me if you are able and interested in assisting. She is hoping to get this done this weekend on the 24th or 25th but has her storage unit until the 27th if another day would be better.

Help Now	A little help goes a long way Four family members and a roommate are unable to cover this bill due to health issues and lack of work for two household members. Two young adults in the home are autistic and have not been able to finish the process of applying for a disability or find work. One other adult in the home who is also autistic has a job with hours getting cut back. He has been covering the majority of the basic needs for Rent and Utilities. The roommate has cancer; the father does not have steady work and most of the responsibility has been just one person.

Help Now	Mattress I am working with a family who need a new mattress as their current one is damaged and not working well. They would also be really excited to have a box spring to come with the mattress, but it’s not necessary. One parent is working while the other is unable to work due to high medical needs for one of the children. The family’s budget is very tight, and they aren’t able to get a new mattress on their own at this time. Thank you very much for considering!

Help Now	New Refrigerator Needed We are seeking a new refrigerator for a senior living on a fixed income whose existing fridge no longer works. She is currently relying on a small dorm fridge that does not provide enough space for her food and daily needs. With limited resources, replacing this essential appliance is beyond her reach. A working, full-size refrigerator would ease a daily burden and help her safely store groceries and prepare meals in her own home. We have identified a replacement fridge that will cost $800 including hauling the old unit away and disposing of it safely.
