| Help Now | Clothing for 2 studentsI am working with a mother of two middle school students. She is currently working two jobs to provide for her family.

In the past she has purchased tennis shoes for them at Kohl's, so she is requesting a Kohl's gift card specifically for the shoes. However gift cards to other local stores where she can purchase clothing for them would be greatly appreciated. Gift cards can be dropped off at the office of East Middle School in Shakopee.

| Help Now | Toilet Bars for ChildI am the physical therapist of a 10-year-old boy who has a mobility impairment and is recovering from a recent surgery. He is in need of supportive bars for the toilet in his home. Using these bars at school, he is able to access the bathroom with very little assistance. Unfortunately, at home his walker does not fit into his bathroom, so he is needing to be carried into the bathroom. His father as attempted to acquire the bars on their own, but his efforts have been complicated by the pandemic and because he is Spanish speaking, he has had difficulty finding and purchasing them online. This is an incredibly deserving family. The student and his father are both so thankful for any help they receive and they always follow my recommendations. I'm sure that these bars would be used multiple times per day!Submitted by: Shakopee School District | Shakopee | No | N/A | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
