| Help Now | Car Battery NeededI am working with a 55-year-old man who needs a new car battery for the vehicle he uses to get to work. He is a hard worker who is the sole breadwinner for his family. He has been at his current job for two years. His family experienced a tragedy earlier this year when his 33-year-old son passed away suddenly from a heart attack. He and his wife are now taking care of their 6- and 7-year-old grandkids, and they are living paycheck to paycheck. He doesn't have the extra money right now for the car battery, and has had to borrow a friend's vehicle this week to get to work--which he won't be able to do for much longer. The cost for the new battery is approximately $265.00. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.Submitted by: St. Michael's Catholic Church | Prior Lake | Yes | 10/13/2026 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
| Help Now | Father of 7-year-old in Need of AssistanceThe father of a 7-year-old son is in dire need of financial assistance as he looks for housing and a job. His son had cancer when he was 5-years old, and the father gave up his trucking business to help with his son’s cancer treatment needs. Thankfully his son is now cancer-free, but his dad is now struggling financially and is currently living in a motel. He needs to find an apartment as soon as possible, if he wants to maintain joint custody of his son. He has the opportunity to rent an available one-bedroom apartment but would need to pay first and last month’s rent—in addition to the security deposit. His total financial need is currently $2300. He would be deeply grateful for any financial help that can be offered towards meeting that need.Submitted by: St. Michael's Catholic Church | Prior Lake | Yes | 1790726400 | Closed - Not Filled | |

| Help Now | Vehicle Transmission Replacement*Update: A 34-year-old single mother of a 6-year-old daughter, who is also a foster parent to her 2-month-old nephew, is in urgent need of a replacement for her torque converter on her 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. She is a responsible young mother who works full time Monday-Friday but lives paycheck to paycheck. She purchased the vehicle 4 years ago for $15000 and is heavily dependent on it to get to work and to pick-up her daughter and nephew from daycare. The mechanic shop she goes to issued her the following price quote for the repair: $1500 to replace the torque convertor. She has already depleted her savings to take care of other family expenses and doesn't have the resources for the repairs or to buy a different vehicle. She is open to receiving other offers or bids to repair her vehicle at a lower cost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Submitted by: St. Michael's Catholic Church | Prior Lake | No | 1761609600 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
