Help Now	Safety Equipment for Young Man in Shakopee Requesting grab bars for a young man in Shakopee who has trouble with balance and stability, particularly in the bathroom where wet and slippery surfaces increase his risk of falling. Showering has become a challenging task, and he often needs to move cautiously to avoid losing his balance. Having grab bars in his shower would provide him with the support he needs to enter, exit, and move within the shower safely. These grab bars would allow him to maintain his independence with personal hygiene while reducing his reliance on others for assistance. They would also provide peace of mind for both the individual and his caregivers, knowing that he has a secure handhold available when needed. This young man is experiencing significant financial hardship and is unable to afford the purchase of grab bars for his home. Nearly all of his income is dedicated to paying rent and meeting basic living expenses. While grab bars would greatly improve safety and reduce the risk of falls, the client’s limited financial resources mean he is unable to purchase them himself. Given the client's past housing instability and ongoing financial challenges, assistance with purchasing grab bars is needed to support his safety and independence. Without grab bars, he remains at risk for slips and falls that could potentially require medical treatment and result in serious injuries. A fall could also reduce his confidence in completing personal care tasks independently and his overall quality of life. For these reasons, shower grab bars are being requested to ensure this gentleman's safety, support his independence, and allow him to continue performing daily hygiene activities with dignity in his home. Thank you for your consideration! Submitted by: Mt. Olivet Rolling Acres	Shakopee	Clothing & Personal Items Disability Furniture & Household Goods Safety	No	N/A	Closed - Filled through FISH

Help Now	Vehicle Air Conditioning Repair We are requesting assistance for a hardworking family of four, including an infant and a toddler, whose van's air conditioning system has failed during this extreme summer heat. The van is currently at a repair shop for diagnostic dye testing to pinpoint the source of the air conditioning leak. Once the leak has been identified, the family hopes to repair the system, but they do not have the funds to cover the repair. Without functioning air conditioning, traveling has become extremely difficult and potentially unsafe for their young children, who have been sweating heavily even during short trips. As a result, the family has been limiting travel, making it challenging to attend appointments, run errands, and participate in normal family activities. Assistance with repairing the van's air conditioning would help ensure safe transportation for their children during the hottest months of the year and relieve a significant financial burden on a family that is working hard to remain self-sufficient.

Help Now	Stand fan to beat the heat I 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	Child Welfare Furniture & Household Goods	No	07/31/2026	Closed - Filled through FISH

Help Now	Daycare payment I am working with a mother who recently obtained shelter housing after being homeless for 5 months. Despite being homeless and having barriers in transportation, she has continued to work and has been steadily employed for almost three years. She recently obtained daycare for her two-year-old, but due to some unforeseen circumstances she has fallen behind in paying for daycare. She did apply for benefits and is hoping to hear back soon to assist her and paying for this as well as she is picking up extra hours. She is in need to help get back caught up in her daycare payments. Daycare is $200 a week. She is around $800 behind, but any amount is helpful for her to get closer in catching up. I would love to get this mom two weeks of daycare. Submitted by: Scott County	All Locations	Child Welfare Children Education Employment	No	1783728000	Closed - Filled through FISH
