| Help Now | Veteran family of 5, needs tires and car repairsAs an Assistant County Veteran Service Officer, I'm reaching out on behalf of a deserving veteran family who urgently needs our community's support. This family of five is facing significant transportation challenges that are directly impacting their ability to access essential services, medical appointments, and daily necessities. The veteran's fiancée and youngest child both have disabilities, making reliable transportation not just a convenience, but a critical lifeline for their family's wellbeing and safety. Their vehicle requires immediate repairs to remain roadworthy and safe for transporting their disabled family members. The car desperately needs two new tires for safe driving conditions, brake repairs that are essential for family safety, air conditioning repair (which is crucial for the disabled family members during hot weather), and a trunk latch repair that affects the vehicle's security and functionality. Without these repairs, this veteran family risks being stranded without transportation to medical appointments, grocery stores, and other essential services that many of us take for granted. **Estimated Line Item Costs:** - Two new tires: $200-400 (depending on tire quality and vehicle size) - Brake repair/replacement: $300-600 (including pads, rotors if needed, and labor) - AC system repair: $150-500 (depending on whether it needs refrigerant, compressor work, or other components) - Trunk latch repair: $50-150 (parts and labor) - **Total estimated cost: $700-1,650**Submitted by: FISH | Scott County | No | N/A | Closed - Canceled | |

| Help Now | Elderly Man Scammed Out of Life SavingsRent assistance is needed at this time for a man in his 70s, who recently fell prey to a known scam in the area. He was contacted by "Shania Twain", and he was manipulated into buying cryptocurrency to fund her needs. Police investigated, and the money has been located in Nigeria. There is no recourse to get this money back, and he is behind on his rent after cashing his life savings for the scam. Positive news: his landlord is working with him to create a small payment plan while he goes back to work for the first time in many years. Since his account was hacked, his social security is a few months behind as well. $2000 is needed to help get his rent ledger up to date and be out of a housing crisis. He is working 40 hours per week in the community to pay his other bills and attempt to gain some savings for future medical expenses related to his cancer treatment no longer being paid for by medicare.Submitted by: Scott County | Savage | No | 1748649600 | Closed - Canceled | |
