Car repairs for a family in need

A family with one vehicle recently got hit with repair costs for their brakes and rotors. After visiting several mechanics, the quote for the repairs is outside of the family budget. Mom uses the car daily to commute to work, a para for children in the community. The family operates on a limited income, as one parent is disabled and unable to work. Helping to fill this need would ensure mom has the ability to get to work, assist with medical transportation, and continue to support her family!

Request for Household Furniture

I am requesting assistance for my 17-year-old client, who recently moved into her father’s home. While her father has been able to provide housing, he does not currently have a bed or dresser for her. At this time, my client does not have a proper bed to sleep in, and her clothing is being kept in a pile on the floor because there is no dresser or other storage available. Providing a bed and dresser would help meet her basic needs and create a more stable, safe, and comfortable living environment as she adjusts to her new home. Any assistance with these essential items would be greatly appreciated.

Help Continue Momentum in Recovery Journey

Three men in recovery are transitioning into our long-term transitional housing program after the sober home they were living in unexpectedly announced it was closing, giving residents only 30 days to find new housing. While they are grateful to have a safe place to continue their recovery, they are starting over with very few personal belongings. We are trying to raise $1,500 for the three men so we can help them to purchase bedroom essentials to help welcome them home including bedding, dressers, nightstands, lamps, laundry hampers, and other basic furnishings. A comfortable, furnished bedroom provides more than a place to sleep—it offers stability, dignity, and a fresh start as these men continue rebuilding their lives.

Client Needs Help Getting Car Back

My client was living in his car when he was hit by a city semitruck. My client was sent to the hospital for evaluation and he was quickly released from the hospital which we are all very grateful for. Unfortunately, due to the accident being on a road and somewhat obstructing travel, the car was towed. My client cannot afford to get his car out of impound as they are asking for a fee for him to get it back. At the time of the accident, he was provided a hotel voucher for a few nights while he tried to scramble and raise the funds to get his car back. Unfortunately, he was unable to raise those funds and has now lost housing at the hotel. My client is local and has lived here for sometime. He has only recently been down on his luck and because of this accident he has lost his car and his home all in one sweep. Any and all help s greatly appreciated.

Helping a Mom of Four Stay on the Road

I am currently working with a single mother of three young children who is expecting her fourth child within the next few weeks. She is facing significant transportation challenges and is in urgent need of vehicle repairs to ensure she can safely get to medical appointments, work, childcare, and other essential services. Her vehicle requires a timing belt replacement and a new oil pump, along with several smaller repairs. These are critical issues that affect the safety and reliability of her only means of transportation. With a new baby arriving soon, having dependable transportation is more important than ever for her family's stability and well-being. Any assistance toward these repairs would make a meaningful difference for this family and help alleviate a significant source of stress during an already challenging time. Every contribution, regardless of amount, is greatly appreciated.

HVAC Air Compressor Unit

Replacing our air conditioner compressor is a critical need for family. The cost of replacement is approximately $13,000, which is beyond what I can reasonably afford at this time. I have explored other sources of assistance, including my daughter's CADI Waiver, but unfortunately this expense is not covered through those programs. Despite reaching out to available community supports, I have not been able to secure funding for this necessary repair.

Replacing the salt machine for hard water.

Replacing our home's water treatment system is an important need for our family. Our current salt-based water softener is approximately 11 years old and is nearing the end of its useful life. The system requires ongoing maintenance, including purchasing, lifting, and hauling heavy bags of salt, which has become increasingly difficult to manage. We are seeking to replace the existing system with a non-saltwater treatment system that effectively addresses our home's hard water issues while reducing the physical demands associated with maintaining a traditional salt-based softener. The estimated cost for replacement is approximately $6,000. This need is particularly important because of my daughter's disability. Having a reliable water treatment system helps maintain a safe, functional, and healthy home environment while reducing physical burdens associated with routine household maintenance. I have explored other sources of assistance, including my daughter's CADI Waiver, but this expense is not covered through those programs.
