Help Now	Helping a Mom Get Ready for Her New Arrival I am working with a single mother of three young children who is expecting her fourth child in just a few weeks. She has worked incredibly hard to provide for her family and is currently facing significant financial challenges as she prepares to welcome her new baby. At the same time, she is dealing with costly vehicle repairs that are necessary to maintain reliable transportation for work, medical appointments, childcare, and everyday needs. As a result, much of her available income is being directed toward keeping her vehicle on the road. To help ease some of the financial burden during this important transition, Target gift cards and grocery gift cards would be especially beneficial. These resources would allow her to purchase baby essentials, household necessities, diapers, wipes, clothing, and groceries while focusing her limited funds on her transportation needs. Any support, no matter the amount, would make a meaningful difference for this family as they prepare to welcome their newest addition. Thank you for helping provide stability and support during this exciting and challenging time.

Help Now	Single adult facing food insecurities Hi everyone. I'm posting on behalf of a single adult who utilizes some of our services at SMSC. She is currently on a fixed income and had been short due to sudden car problems. Due to this she is having to put money towards her car in order to fix it so she can continue to go to work. She is asking for help for a gift card towards Cub foods to be able to put some food on the table during this sudden financial expense. Resources for food shelves have been provided to her already.

Her vehicle requires a timing belt replacement and a new oil pump, along with several smaller repairs.

With a new baby arriving soon, having dependable transportation is more important than ever for her family's stability and well-being.

Due to the car problems, she had to take what she had saved up and put it towards her car repair. Due to that she currently does not have money to go towards her car insurance. Not having car insurance means she cannot go to work or take her child to day care. Any help is appreciated. Submitted by: Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community	Shakopee		No	N/A	Closed - Canceled

Help Now	Urgent Daycare Support Needed We are helping a single mom of three who has poured everything she has into launching her own business. She has sacrificed her own needs, pushed through setbacks, and stayed focused on building a stable future for her family. During this journey, small costs have added up—resulting in an outstanding daycare balance for items her children have needed. Today, she is faced with an urgent $100 payment to keep her kids enrolled in daycare. Without this, she risks losing the care and stability her children rely on. She does not have the means to cover it, and anything—truly anything—would make a difference for this mom who is fighting every day for her family’s future.
