Help Now	Family about to lose their car We have a family who is struggling financially. Mom has had emergency surgery and had to take some time off work. The time off was unpaid as short term disability was denied. She was not paid and is trying to appeal the decision. Since she had to take time off, she is behind on bills. One being her car bill, which is about $1700. She is also behind on rent, which she is already receiving some help with. She is also looking for any other support such as grocery gift cards to offset the bills. Anything she receives would be incredibly helpful!

Help Now	Single father of 5 with barriers This family has been struggling with many barriers. He recently received full custody of 5 kids with no child support. He had been struggling with car problems while trying to acclimate to the kids schedule which makes it extremely difficult to keep up with work + getting into a new schedule. He's had to quit his job because of car troubles and needs help getting back on track. Recently his car has stopped working and would really appreciate it if there could be financial help to get his car towed to the shop as the first step. Getting the car fixed will help him get back on his feet to stability, getting a job, getting his kids around to school and medical related appointments and the ability to go the store for basic necessities.

Help Now	Single mom going through emergency surgery We have a family of 5 who is needing some help. Mom recently went through a medical emergency which resulted in unplanned surgery. She is going to be out of work for at least 2 weeks. She currently works 2 PT jobs so she is not granted any sick time and with such short notice, mom did not have time to save up for this emergency. She is looking to have some help for food or gas donations as she has 4 kids who will need continued support. It might be best to keep these as e- gift cards if possible as she might not be able to pick them up. Anything is helpful and mom appreciates any support!
