Help Now	Reliable vehicle to get to and from work and medical appointments. I have been working with a youth for almost a year and he has resided at our Passageways Supportive Housing Apartments the entire time. He came to us with a vehicle and we found that he spent about $15,000 on a lemon. We had it looked at by three different garages and all stated that it would not be economically feasible to fix all of the issues it had. We had it towed to a non-profit in Minneapolis that has volunteers work on cars and they stated it was also not feasible to fix it and to scrap it. This youth lost his job due to COVID and now that he doesn't have a vehicle, he is unable to search for a new one. We are hoping that someone has a gently used vehicle they may be willing to donate. This youth is a hard worker and has been through so much with his physical health and his emotional health since he was a very young child. Working also helps keep him busy and keeps his mind off of all of his past and current struggles.

Help Now	New Career My client has been crushing it with the new start to her life! She has secured an apartment here at Passageways, she has enrolled her daughter in daycare and she is in the process of starting a new job. She has a career goal of being an Eye Lash Technician and has begun practicing the craft. She would like to go into business, but needs a certification. The cost is approximately $2000 and she has begun to save towards it. She was contacted by a friend that states that her shop is looking for an Eye Lash Technician and my client would love to work there. The classes only take 5 days (38 hours) and she could start the job immediately after getting her certification. We are hoping that we could get some financial assistance to help her get started as soon as possible so she can begin her career and provide for herself and her daughter. Thank you!!

Help Now	Laptop and bed I am working with a young woman who has been a victim of trafficking and exploitation. Due to an on-going investigation, her laptop was seized by law enforcement and they will not return it. She needs this laptop for work and school. She is a very hard worker and is currently using an old PC that is extremely slow! Also, in her quick move out of dangerous situation, she only grabbed her king size mattress and is currently sleeping on the floor with it. It is very hard for her to sleep on a good day, let alone dealing with Anxiety and PTSD. We are hoping someone may have a gently used box spring for her to be a little more comfortable. Thank you!

Help Now	Emergency Car Repairs!! I have a single mother of a 5 month sweet little girl. She just got out of homelessness and resides here at Passageways. She is looking for a job and wants to start ASAP and have her daughter in day care. She has been working towards this goal for a couple of years now. She owns her own vehicle, but it started to act up. We took in in today to have it looked at and we found out that she needs to get work done on her engine that will cost over $1000. She will be paying for this out of her own pocket, but she also found out that she needs her brakes fixed also. She has been quoted $436 for the minimum repair and $892 for Struts, Brakes, lower control arms, and rear calipers. We are hoping that someone could possibly help with the cost or complete the repair at a lower cost. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!

Help Now	Car totaled UPDATE: STILL NEEDED - A client of mine, who is a single parent, just exited out of homelessness into her own apartment. She was doing great! She was hired for a job and was to begin working next week, but she was involved in a car accident. She only received cuts and bruises, but the car rolled a couple of times and is totaled. We are hoping to find her a vehicle ASAP to get her back to starting her new job. We are hoping someone has a used vehicle they would consider donating to her. She does not have much money in savings and would like to keep it there as it is the first time she has had a savings account. Any resources as to where we could also look for a car for her would also be appreciated! She has insurance.

Help Now	Out of Homelessness UPDATE: RECEIVED $100 - THANK YOU! STILL NEEDS QUEEN OR KING BED AND A KITCHEN TABLE. A client of mine has graduated our program! She was able to get into an apartment for herself and her son here in Prior Lake! We are so happy for her and want her transition to go as smoothly as possible. With that being said, she doesn't have furniture for her new home except a toddler bed for her son. We are hoping that the FISH Community could help out with some donations of furniture or money to help get her started? Her only request is that either a Queen size bed or a king size bed be donated due to spending many nights in her car or in a single shelter bed. They will be moving into a 2 bedroom apartment after the 10th of July and will need help with the delivery of some items. Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Help Now	Help with Taxes UPDATE - STILL NEEDED: Passageways Shelter and Housing Program provides emergency shelter beds for youth ages 13 to 17 and housing for youth ages 16 to 24 who have been victims of sex trafficking. I am wondering if there is anyone out there who could help up to 4 housing residents get their taxes completed at no cost? Some of the youth have very easy tax situations and some are fairly complicated. (At least for this case manager to handle on my own). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated or even referrals.

Help Now	Please help single mother get her car fixed! We had a 19 year old mother with a 1 month old son move into Passageways last week. She and her baby had been living out of her car that was inoperable. She had asked her uncle to fix her 2002 Chrysler Sebring and he told her all it needed was a fuel pump. She had the vehicle towed to her uncle once she moved into Passageways and in turn, he stole 2 tires off of her vehicle and never fixed it. We were able to get the vehicle to Passageways and it is currently sitting in our parking lot with 2 flat tires (that the uncle used to replace the ones he had stolen). We are hoping someone can help us get this vehicle operational again so that she has a means of transportation for herself and her young son. She is enrolling in school and wanting to find at least a part-time job, but is limited with no buses running in Prior Lake. She would be extremely grateful for any help!
