Developmentally disabled boy and his single mom need help with a U-Haul to move

$150.00 to rent a U-Haul so single mom and her developmentally delayed son can move out of apartment they can't afford due to son's unpredictable medical and behavioral issues causing the mom to lose work and therefor lose hours at work and income. He struggles at school and often the mom has to pick him up early and cannot work as much as she would like to earn more money. She has help with family members offering their assistance in actually moving the items and belongings but cannot afford the U-Haul rental fee of $150.00. She needs to move by the end of April. The actual move is scheduled April 30th, so a rental would need to be arranged by April 29th. Any offer of any amount is greatly appreciated. She has asked her social worker but since the son is a minor, funding is not authorized to be used for this purpose. No program has a remedy for this problem since she wants to move before she is being evicted due to her inability to afford the rent any longer.

Gas Cards

I am working with a mom who has a young child. The mom has been working hard at making positive changes in her life and is currently in the process of obtaining housing and applying for jobs. Because the mom is currently out of work, she cannot afford much gas to get her to and from her job interviews. She is hoping that while she is job searching, she will be able to get some assistance with gas gift cards so that she can keep working toward these positive changes and goals. Thanks for considering!

Please help support Snickers in her journey to cross the rainbow bridge

Many people have emotional support animals to help with mental health and physical wellness. Any animal owner knows that it is hard and can be heart breaking when they fall ill or get old. I have a client that has 3 cats, they provide comfort when she is in pain with her physical health and when her mental health is preventing her to enjoy life. Snickers (her oldest cat) has been her saving grace for 18 years. She has made it 18 years! Unfortunately, Snickers health is failing due to her age. My client has been dreading having to put her down. She has come to terms and know that it is time to help Snickers suffering. However, my client is on a fixed income and does not have extra funds to cover the procedure. This has been a hindrance since December when we first discussed snickers health decline. This donation would help ease the burden with the financial piece of the process. This process can cost between $ 450 and $500. Any donation would be helpful.
