| Help Now | Single Mother with Medically Complex Children Struggling to Make Ends MeetI am working with a single mother of 4 children. One of her children was recently diagnosed with autism. This diagnosis has allowed him to finally receive appropriate services for his needs. Another one of her children is currently on the path to being diagnosed with Dystonia( a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary (unintended) muscle contractions that cause slow repetitive movements or abnormal postures that can sometimes be painful). One of her daughters is still undiagnosed however, has been in and out of the hospital the past month in an effort to stabilize her blood sugar. She is having trouble keeping food down and is on a strict medication plan. They have a lot of upcoming appointments with neurologists that will hopefully give them answers. This has caused Mom to miss and leave work a lot over the past few weeks. They still don't have answers as to why this is happening, but she has gone downhill very suddenly and mom has barely had time to catch her breath. She is looking for help with her upcoming rent of $2,500 for July. Anything helps take the burden off of worrying about having a roof over their head while she cares for her family. Thank you.Submitted by: Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community | Scott County | No | N/A | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
| Help Now | Mom experiencing job lossI have been in contact with an extremely hard-working mom who is up against a recent series of unfortunate events. This family has been through a lot. Grandma fell ill with covid during peak infection rates, and they are still dealing with the financial repercussions of this. Furthermore, mom has recently lost her job and is searching for another. Her partner is an educator and will not have work over the summer. Additionally, her partner was injured on the job to the degree that he will need knee surgery and is navigating a dispute over workman's compensation. He is also job searching all the while worrying for his physical ability to work. Needless to say, they are worried with looming Mortgage and Association bills totaling 1,945. Any financial help is appreciated and much needed. This mom and her family are at risk of losing the home they worked so hard to get.Submitted by: Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community | Scott County | No | 07/01/2023 | Closed - Not Filled | |

| Help Now | Family of 4 at risk for evictionEdit: This is an URGENT need. This family has exhausted all leads on resources in the community, many of the housing programs do not have funding available until its too late. Both parents are very hardworking and extremely stressed. Any financial contribution this family can put towards their rent will help to secure their housing for the next month. At this time if they do not submit anything towards their rent they will be evicted Friday with nowhere to go. I am working with a family of four who is in desperate need of rent help for the months of May and June. Mom and Dad work full time and both children are in school. Dad is a seasonal worker and jobs are slow right now. They are down to one working vehicle as their second is in the shop pending funding for repairs. Because mom and dad share transportation to and from work dad is limited in job opportunities. This family is looking for rent help totaling 3,600 to help cover May and June. The deadline for this payment is June 1st otherwise they face eviction.Submitted by: Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community | Shakopee | No | 1685491200 | Closed - Filled through FISH |
