| Help Now | Gas Card Needed for Employment Support During Outpatient TreatmentThe individual is currently engaged in outpatient treatment and is actively committed to rebuilding stability in his life. He has recently secured employment, which represents a significant positive step toward independence and recovery. However, transportation barriers are currently impacting his ability to reliably get to and from work. Providing temporary assistance with gas cards will help bridge this gap while he becomes financially stable through his new employment. He is motivated, engaged in treatment, and working toward long-term self-sufficiency. Once consistent paychecks are established, he will be able to maintain his transportation needs independently. Any donation, small or large, would make a meaningful difference in helping this individual maintain employment and continue building stability in his recovery.Submitted by: South Metro Community Services | All Locations | Yes | 1781568000 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |

He is doing everything he can to stay sober, including offering rides to several other participants who otherwise wouldn’t have transportation.

| Help Now | Help a Father in Recovery Stay Connected with His KidsA devoted father currently in outpatient treatment is preparing to graduate from the program. He is doing his best to stay connected with his children, but the distance between them has made weekend visits from Rochester challenging. Despite these difficulties, he remains committed to his recovery and to being a present, supportive parent. A gas card to local gas stations would greatly ease the burden of travel expenses, allowing him to focus more fully on both his healing journey and maintaining a strong relationship with his kids.Submitted by: South Metro Community Services | All Locations | No | 07/09/2025 | Closed - Filled through FISH |
