Approximately $100.00 cash to pay for laundry.Family of 5. Single mother on disability. Last week they realized they have bed bugs. Thay have been working with their land lord to have their apartment fumigated. Family's income is very limited due to some major life transitions which occurred in the past year, which have also decreased their support system. Family will need to have their clothing/bedding/linens laundered outside of the home as the apartment complex's washer & dryer does not get hot enough to kill the bed bugs. This is a cost the family cannot afford. Clothing for a 14 year old girl: shorts & jeans size 7 and tops & skirts in size medium. She said they do not need to be new and would be happy with any donated clothing that someone has to offer. She said she is not picky about styles. This teenager lost most of her clothing while outside of the home for about a month and is currently wearing clothing borrowed from others. The mother is unable to afford to replace the clothing on her limited monthly income.

The father of the chidren has worked in the past and helped provide financially.

A mother needs financial assistance for repairs to her vehicle. She is not currently employed and struggling to find a job as she does not have consistent transportation. She relies on her dad to help with driving her and her two children, ages 15 and 7, to appointments and needed errands. She lives in Shakopee with her two children and her Dad lives in St Paul. Her vehicle is currently at a repair shop in St. Paul. The repairs total $590 to replace the exhaust system. The vehicle has been sitting there for over a month now. The mother thought that she could come up with about half the amount towards the repairs.

The water heater broke and the family does not have enough funds to pay for aont

A family that I work with shared with me that their water heater broke months ago. They have 3 children, two of which have a disability. A professional came out to inspect the water heater this winter, but the family reports that he was in a hurry and they don't know if he was truthful about the problem. The family has been boiling water on the stove to fill the bathtub or wash dishes. They have a relative that is near by so they have been going there to shower, wash dishes, and do laundry as much as possible. The family would like another professional to come out and look at their water heater to diagnose the exact problem. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you!
