Single Mother of 5 Needs Help with April Rent

A single mother of 5 whom I am assisting is currently on an unpaid leave of absence from work due to the complex medical conditions of her two youngest children, who are certified as disabled. She has been actively involved in their care, including frequent visits to Mayo Clinic for medication adjustments. To support her family, she is in the process of becoming their full-time CDCS (Consumer Directed Community Supports) caregiver. However, her main concern at the moment is covering the March rent, which amounts to $2,500. She is optimistic that by April, she will begin receiving income as a full-time caregiver, alleviating her financial worries. Anything help- thank you!

$$ for car repairs

1/16/2024 UPDATE: Car repairs are still needed- she is focusing on saving up money, but living paycheck to paycheck has made it very hard. 12/26/2023 UPDATE: She received her quote from the mechanic on Friday she will be needing a replacement of her wheel bearing and has a transmission leak. the wheel bearing is her priority it will cost $862.97. To fix the transmission leak she was quoted $1,332.49. Anything will help get this family back on the road. Thank you so much! I am working with an individual who has been having car troubles all year long. She ended up having to junk her last car- the repairs were far more than what it was worth. She has acquired a new to her but used run-down car that also needs some maintenance. Christian Brother Automotives said it would cost $100 for the diagnostic before they can determine what is wrong. Once they determine the issue we will have a better understanding of the cost of the repair. She is living paycheck to paycheck and is feeling drained from all the car repairs. Anything helps. Thank you!

Bedroom Items for Welcoming a Foster Child

I'm assisting a single mom with two kids who will be welcoming her nephew as a foster placement this week. She has transformed her office into a bedroom, and managed to secure a bed for him. However, she still needs some items to make him feel at home, such as a nightstand, dresser, desk, and desk chair. He'll be arriving on Wednesday after school, just before Thanksgiving. He is 14 and she just wants to make this transition as welcoming as possible. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Struggling to make ends meet and now car has been repossessed

I have been working with a mom who came from out of state to work here. She has been juggling multiple jobs to stay afloat but when she recently took time off for an illness she was let go from one of them. She was unable to make payments on her car and this resulted in her car getting repossessed. This means she and her partner have both lost their transportation to work and fear they will fall even more behind. She owes 2,000 on her car and needs 700 to get it out of the impound lot.

Crib & Mattress Needed

I am working with a family who is in need of 2 beds. A single mom of two kiddos and grandma are living together. Mom sleeps on the floor and the baby is in a bassinet that she is growing out of. She is asking for a crib, a mattress for her baby, and a mattress she can put on the floor for now for herself. Finances are very tight since mom has been out of work since giving birth & grandma is not working. Cribs are expensive- a gently used one would work. She does ask that the crib mattress & her mattress be new due to sanitary and allergy reasons. Amazon has crib mattresses & full-size mattresses anywhere between $50-$100. Anything would help this family. Thank you!
