Help Now	Gas card to get to work This is a woman who has fought a long battle with addiction and mental health symptoms for years. Over the past year, she has made tremendous progress and now lives in stable housing, takes an active part in parenting her children, has full-time employment, purchased a car and was able to get her drivers license reinstated. Although her budget is tight she has managed to meet all of her needs and pay her bills on time. She recently missed work for a couple days due to a death in her her family. If she uses all of her paycheck to pay her bills on time she will not have enough to purchase enough gas to get to work. By utilizing the food shelf, she believes this gas card would be enough to help her stretch to cover the gap until her next pay check. If someone is able to assist with this need it would be greatly appreciated! Submitted by: Scott County	Scott County	Mental Health Substance Abuse Transportation	No	1789084800	Active Fulfilled Offers
Help Now	Transportation need An almost 18 year old is in need of help getting to work. She has moved out of Scott County and is staying with a friend temporarily, while she is looking for an apartment. She is trying to keep her job in Shakopee to save money for the apartment, but she does not have a car or consistent rides to and from work. She has been paying for rides with Uber or Lyft to get to work for the last week, but this is using up a good portion of her paycheck! A Lyft gift card would allow her to get to and from work and still have money for what she needs. Once she finds an apartment, she will look for a closer job.

Help Now	clothing items needed I am working with a single father and his children who are trying very hard to find stability and connections to helpful, long-term supports. The children are in need of clothing, undergarments, socks, shoes, winter coats and shoes. Dad is employed, but there is an issue with his vehicle which is making it very difficult to get around and put in the amount of hours he typically works as he is having to depend on rides to/from work. His vehicle is currently being looked at, but he hasn't found out what the repairs will cost yet. Any help towards the clothing needs, whether it be gently used items, new items, or gift cards to purchase items would be greatly appreciated by this family. Thank you for considering!

Help Now	Youth Basketball Team I am working with a mother who is newly sober and working on her sobriety and job searching. Her children will be starting at a new school, and her son would like to join the basketball team. The cost would be $590. She has talked to the association and they do not offer scholarships or a discounted rate. This would be an amazing opportunity for her boy to connect with others at his new school and be a part of positive social events. Any amount is helpful!!

Help Now	Deaf Elderly gentleman in need of support This elderly gentleman lives on little and still works even in his 80s to help cover some of his day-to-day costs.

Help Now	Veteran in need of car repair – either cost or labor I have been working with a Veteran who has worked incredibly hard towards rebuilding his life after struggling for years with the symptoms from multiple traumatic brain injuries as well as mental health and substance use disorders. He has an opportunity to make further progress through a veterans employment program but his vehicle needed to drive to the location has needed many repairs lately has used up all of his financial resources and there is one final repair to be made to allow him to use it. The cost of a used CVT transfer case needed for his vehicle is $637.50 before tax but he believes he may have found an individual willing to donate one for his vehicle but he does not have the means to replace it himself. We are wondering if there is either an individual who has the ability/means to install the CVT transfer case free of charge? Or if not, there is anyone who feels able to offer towards the cost of the repair which is estimated to cost $1,260.00. For this Veteran to be at a place in his life again; free of substance use, involved in healthy relationships, managing multiple appointments in one day successfully and ready to start a job is truly one of those moments that make one sit back and remember how amazing life can be. This would be incredible if somehow we could help him complete this last repair so he could move forward with this employment opportunity.
