| Help Now | Stand fan to beat the heatI am looking for a donation of a standalone floor or pedestal fan for a single mom and her two children. The family’s apartment only has one window AC unit in the living room, and with this intense summer heat, the cool air isn't reaching the bedrooms. The baby is really struggling to fall asleep at night because the room is just too hot. If anyone has a working stand fan (new or gently used) that they no longer need and would be willing to donate, it would make a massive difference for this sweet family. Thank you so much in advance for your kindness!Submitted by: Scott County | Shakopee | No | 07/31/2026 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |

| Help Now | Phone Pre-Paid CardI am working with a client who recently turned 18 in April. Her mother has been pushing for her to be more independent and has decided to no longer pay the phone service she had. My client bought a pre-paid phone from Walmart and doesn't have any more funds to pay for another card. The client has been unable to contact resources to find more supports and has missed several calls/text messages due to not having service unless she is at a location with Wifi. She has found herself in high risk situations without a phone, this need would increase safety. My client would benefit from a $100 gift card to Walmart to purchase a pre-paid card for the phone carrier she has. Thank you for your consideration.Submitted by: Scott County | Jordan | No | 1782172800 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |

| Help Now | Urgent AC Repair Support for Family in Jordan, MNWe are seeking community support for a family in Jordan, Minnesota who is currently facing an urgent need to repair their central air conditioning system. The household includes two children with developmental disabilities, making a stable, comfortable, and safe home environment especially critical. At this time, their central AC system is not functioning, and the exact issue is unknown. A licensed HVAC professional is needed to complete an inspection and determine what repairs are necessary to restore adequate cooling in the home. The family has attempted to manage the situation using a temporary window air conditioning unit; however, it has not been effective in cooling the home and has reportedly contributed to the children becoming ill. As temperatures continue to rise, the situation is becoming increasingly unsafe and unsustainable. Restoring the central air system is essential to maintaining a healthy and safe living environment. Unfortunately, the family does not have the financial resources to cover the cost of inspection or repairs at this time. We are seeking financial assistance, donations, and referrals to reputable HVAC professionals who may be willing to offer discounted or pro bono inspection services, as well as reduced-cost repairs if possible. Even an initial no-cost assessment would be incredibly helpful in identifying next steps and reducing overall costs. Any support toward restoring safe and reliable cooling in this home would be deeply appreciated and will help ensure the health, safety, and comfort of this vulnerable family. Thank you for your consideration and support.Submitted by: Mt. Olivet Rolling Acres | Jordan | No | 1785542400 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
| Help Now | Helping a Mom Get Ready for Her New ArrivalI am working with a single mother of three young children who is expecting her fourth child in just a few weeks. She has worked incredibly hard to provide for her family and is currently facing significant financial challenges as she prepares to welcome her new baby. At the same time, she is dealing with costly vehicle repairs that are necessary to maintain reliable transportation for work, medical appointments, childcare, and everyday needs. As a result, much of her available income is being directed toward keeping her vehicle on the road. To help ease some of the financial burden during this important transition, Target gift cards and grocery gift cards would be especially beneficial. These resources would allow her to purchase baby essentials, household necessities, diapers, wipes, clothing, and groceries while focusing her limited funds on her transportation needs. Any support, no matter the amount, would make a meaningful difference for this family as they prepare to welcome their newest addition. Thank you for helping provide stability and support during this exciting and challenging time.Submitted by: Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community | All Locations | No | 06/27/2026 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
