Vulnerable adult needing gas money or transportation for PHP

I am working with a vulnerable adult who has been struggling with her mental health, along with physical problems. She has been accepted into a partial hospitalization program beginning on June 5th. She is expected to attend 5 days a week for 3 weeks. She lives in Scott County and the PHP is located in Fairbault. She recently had to stop working because her mental health symptoms have been escalated to the point of having panic attacks several times a day. This client is very motivated and wants to get help and 'sort out my head'. She is in desperate need of either gas money to get her to and from PHP or any other type of transportation to and from PHP.

Gift Cards and birthday request

We are currently working with a young girl who will be a teenager soon! The family has had a lot of hardships and trauma over the years and providing some birthday gifts would make her whole day. She loves to read (Barnes and Noble gift card), draw/color/journal, and could use a good fuzzy blanket, I will also add that she absolutely loves animals and would greatly benefit from equine therapy at Make Strides in Jordan. Purchases of these items or Gift cards for any of these services would be greatly appreciated.

Dumpster or Bagster needed.

I am currently working with a single mom who has inherited a home from her mother who passed away. This home was neglected which resulted in quite a bit of things that need to be thrown out. This has also caused Mom to be very overwhelmed and very anxious and shut down. Getting a dumpster will help alleviate stress and anxiety as well as ensure the home returns to a more comfortable state for living. We are currently looking for a 10-yard dumpster and the cost with taxes would be $516.00. Thank you for considering.

support for NA/grief meetings

A single mother who has recently entered outpatient treatment is really invested in her sobriety is needing some gas card support to attend multiple meeting weekly. Last week she needed a meeting and shared that its better to show up late then not at all. However this meant driving a distance. Having a gas card in the short term would allow her to attend more meetings, build connections and remove the barrier of gas money. This single mother of three has attended three support meetings weekly including a grief support meeting as she has lost two family members to addiction. This mother is working, however has cut back hours to make it to treatment three times a week. Any support to her would be greatly appreciated.

Rent Money

A single mother was living in a home with her son and landlord. There was an incident between the mother and landlord. The mother did what she needed to keep her son safe and the landlord has evicted her due to the consequences he suffered. The mother has found friends that have a space to rent and is requesting $250 for the month of April and $500 for May and June to help get her back on track. Due to address changes she did not receive her SS check and has fallen behind financially. Thank you for any consideration and donation.

Funding for extra curricular activities

I am working with a single mother of 3 children, ages infant, 3, and 7. The mother is currently working and just obtained stable housing which is a huge success for her. This request is for financial help to enroll 2 of her children in extracurricular activities. The 7-year-old would like to patriciate in softball, dance, and yoga. The 3-year-old would like to patriciate in dance and t-ball. The financial support to help get these children into the community to build their social skills would greatly benefit them and provide some respite for this mom. I am working with this mother on a financial budget, which would include future activity costs for her children.
