Mother needing help with transportation

I am currently working with a mother who is doing amazing things. She is working very hard to get herself and her 7 month old daughter the best they can be. She is currently moving to a rural area to live on her own with her daughter but does not have a working vehicle making it very hard to get to treatment and her daughter to daycare as these things are 30+ minutes away. This mother has a card but it needs a new headlight assembly and a battery for it to be fixed so she can safely drive it. Once the parts are purchased the mother can install them herself! Any amount would be so appreciated and will go towards the purchasing of the parts.

Family with Medically Fragile Child needs help with Food, Gas, Rent

I recently opened to a young family with a medically fragile daughter. She qualifies for numerous hours per day of nursing and Personal Care attendant services but is only receiving 8-16 hours per week of nursing at this time. Mom provides the care during the day while dad sleeps and dad provides care at night while mom sleeps. We are opening them to a program that will help meet all of these needs eventually but as with most services these days, there are wait lists and timelines. As of today, they will be behind $1809.50 in rent as dad had to quit his employment to assist in providing care so their daughter could be discharged from the hospital to home. Other needs include size 6 diapers, Walmart gift cards for groceries, Holiday gas cards. Thank you for any assistance. They are very appreciative.

Haircare for Youth

I am working with a 17 year old who was recently placed in foster care. She's been asking to be taken out of what she calls a toxic environment because she knows that environment will not allow her to succeed. Since being in foster care this youth has blossomed and she is experiencing so many new things. One of those experiences is being able to get her hair done (in braids). This youth is African American so her hair requires a person with the right knowledge. Would you please help this youth experience having her hair professionally done?

Aquatic Fun in the Sun!

Summer 2024 Belle Plaine Aquatic Center Season Pass for Family of 3 - $150 I have been working with this Belle Plaine family for over a year now. The family has limited income and limited transportation. Their 4 year old daughter loves water play and getting the opportunity to go to the aquatic center that is within walking distance. She has developmental delays and is in ECSE during the school year, however classes stop for the summer. To help with maintaining routines and continued work on gross motor skills, Mom is hoping to bring her to the aquatic center 3 times per week (which would cost well over $400 if paying per session); Dad is hoping to join once a week on his one day off from work. Any amount towards this swim pass will be so helpful to this family and to making a little girl’s summer a blast!

Veteran in need of storage unit

We need to get a storage unit for a Veteran that has to vacate his apartment. He is moving into a very small efficiency and will not be able to take most of his possessions with him due to lack of space. We are asking for $200 to over the $35.99 unit for 4 months. I understand that we are asking for a bit over what we were quoted which is $144. That is because we are not sure what the taxes and fees are going to be. We are trying to get a 5x5 unit from Self Storage in Chaska.

A man who is the provider for his family needs help getting his car fixed. The car is in great running condition other than a starter issue and a few other small things.

But in order to further along his success, he needs a running car to make it to work on time. His car is currently at Christian Brothers Auto Shop waiting to get fixed.
