| Help Now | Seeking Support to Keep a Client in Recovery on the Road to SuccessI am reaching out on behalf of one of our clients currently enrolled in Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment. He is facing a significant financial challenge that, if not addressed, could disrupt his recovery and treatment. The client works part-time, but despite his efforts, he is still struggling to make ends meet. He is currently unable to come up with $280 to pay his car insurance premium. If he is unable to secure these funds by the due date, he will be required to pay a six-month premium upfront or lose his car insurance altogether. This situation is critical, as maintaining transportation is essential for his ability to attend IOP sessions, therapy appointments, and other recovery-related activities. Without reliable transportation, his ability to continue his treatment and progress in his recovery would be severely impacted. We are requesting assistance to help cover this $280 payment. Your support would enable him to maintain his insurance coverage, ensuring he can continue his treatment and stay engaged in his recovery process.Submitted by: South Metro Community Services | All Locations | Yes | 03/24/2025 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |

| Help Now | A Young Man in Recovery Getting Back on His FeetA young man in recovery is working on putting his life back together. This man attended an Intensive Outpatient Treatment program with lodging. He successfully graduated the program and moved out of the sober home to live with a girlfriend. That relationship did not last and the young man has been homeless ever since. He has been staying with friends and/or family. His sobriety has been tested given the environments he has been staying in. Regardless, he remains very committed and motivated for recovery. He is wokring with a peer recovery specialist and he very recently started a new job. He is interested in moving into sober living, but will need the money for first month’s rent and deposit. As part of his picking up the pieces of his former life, he recently went to a tax preparer to file the past 4 years of his taxes he previously neglected. He has refunds due to him that will help him get back on his feet, including getting into a sober home; however, he currently cannot afford the $125/year to file. He would be extremely grateful for assistance with even one year's filing fee. He is hopeful he will be able to pay for the rest with his newly earned income. The tax refunds could help him secure housing, pay for his vehicle registration, and reduce his anxiety, allowing him to focus on his new job and his recovery.Submitted by: South Metro Community Services | All Locations | No | 1718409600 | Closed - Canceled | |
