Help Now	Urgent AC Repair Support for Family in Jordan, MN We are seeking community support for a family in Jordan, Minnesota who is currently facing an urgent need to repair their central air conditioning system. The household includes two children with developmental disabilities, making a stable, comfortable, and safe home environment especially critical. At this time, their central AC system is not functioning, and the exact issue is unknown. A licensed HVAC professional is needed to complete an inspection and determine what repairs are necessary to restore adequate cooling in the home. The family has attempted to manage the situation using a temporary window air conditioning unit; however, it has not been effective in cooling the home and has reportedly contributed to the children becoming ill. As temperatures continue to rise, the situation is becoming increasingly unsafe and unsustainable. Restoring the central air system is essential to maintaining a healthy and safe living environment. Unfortunately, the family does not have the financial resources to cover the cost of inspection or repairs at this time. We are seeking financial assistance, donations, and referrals to reputable HVAC professionals who may be willing to offer discounted or pro bono inspection services, as well as reduced-cost repairs if possible. Even an initial no-cost assessment would be incredibly helpful in identifying next steps and reducing overall costs. Any support toward restoring safe and reliable cooling in this home would be deeply appreciated and will help ensure the health, safety, and comfort of this vulnerable family. Thank you for your consideration and support. Submitted by: Mt. Olivet Rolling Acres	Jordan	Child Welfare Children Household Repairs Utilities	No	08/01/2026	Active
Help Now	Helping a Mom Get Ready for Her New Arrival I am working with a single mother of three young children who is expecting her fourth child in just a few weeks. She has worked incredibly hard to provide for her family and is currently facing significant financial challenges as she prepares to welcome her new baby. At the same time, she is dealing with costly vehicle repairs that are necessary to maintain reliable transportation for work, medical appointments, childcare, and everyday needs. As a result, much of her available income is being directed toward keeping her vehicle on the road. To help ease some of the financial burden during this important transition, Target gift cards and grocery gift cards would be especially beneficial. These resources would allow her to purchase baby essentials, household necessities, diapers, wipes, clothing, and groceries while focusing her limited funds on her transportation needs. Any support, no matter the amount, would make a meaningful difference for this family as they prepare to welcome their newest addition. Thank you for helping provide stability and support during this exciting and challenging time.

Help Now	Summer heat! I'm reaching out on behalf of a single mom who is facing an unexpected challenge. Last year, she purchased an air conditioning unit to help keep her home comfortable during the summer months. Unfortunately, that unit has stopped working and can no longer be repaired. As a single parent replacing the AC unit is a significant expense. The lack of air conditioning has become especially difficult as the heat can contribute to increased dysregulation and discomfort for the child, making it harder to maintain a calm and stable home environment. We are looking for $400 to help cover the cost of a replacement AC unit. Thank you for considering! Submitted by: Scott County	Savage	Children Utilities	No	06/30/2026	Active

Help Now	Gas Card Needed for Employment Support During Outpatient Treatment The 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.
