| Help Now | Large safe for safetyI am reaching out on behalf of a family I support to request assistance in improving safety within their home. The family is working toward purchasing a large secure safe that will allow them to properly store and lock away potentially hazardous items. This safe will be used to securely store sharps, medications, and other items that could pose a risk if left accessible. Having a reliable and durable safe will significantly reduce the chance of accidental injury and help create a safer living environment for everyone in the household. I am kindly asking for donations on their behalf to help reach this goal. Any contribution, no matter the amount, would make a meaningful difference and bring them closer to creating a safer space in their home.Submitted by: Scott County | Shakopee | No | 04/11/2026 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |

| Help Now | Single Mom needing supportA local single mom in our community could really use some support this month. She works full-time and is raising a teenage son on her own. Often needing to take time off to meet her son’s needs, which has made it hard to keep up with bills. She is currently behind on March rent and is hoping to get some assistance catching up so she can stabilize and begin paying down credit card debt that built up after relocating from to MN to escape an abusive relationship and start over safely. She’s working hard to rebuild and provide for her son, and any help—big or small—would make a meaningful difference right now. If you’re able to contribute or know of resources that might help with past-due rent, please reach out. Thank you for supporting a hardworking mom who is doing her best to create a safe, stable life for her child.Submitted by: Scott County | Prior Lake | No | 03/31/2026 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
