He’s about to graduate probation, recently got hired at a grocery store in Shakopee, and has been reconnecting with his family.

Here’s what’s needed: • $55 reinstatement fee for Nebraska • $327 fee + $55 reinstatement fee for South Dakota • $5 vendor fee Total: $437

Help Bridge the Gap

We’re walking alongside a man who recently lost his job. The good news is he’s already been hired at a new position and is set to start soon 🙌 — but the gap left him with about 30 days of no income. Right now, he needs help covering: • $320 for a car payment (to keep reliable transportation to and from work) • $300 grocery gift card (to ensure he has food while getting back on his feet) This is a one-time request to bridge the gap until his first paycheck arrives.

Mother in abusive relationship finally escapes – Needs Help!

A mother of three has been stuck in an abusive relationship and was finally able to get the boyfriend and father to the children, who was the abuser, out of the house. Within two days this man was arrested. The final straw was when they caught him stealing the 16 year old boys cash to gamble. When confronted he became physically abusive, unfortunately this was not the first time. On top of everything, she just got an eviction notice because the man gambled away the last months rent and said he sent a cashiers check. She owes $674.82 within 14 days or her an the kids are evicted. This has cut the household income by more than half, we want her to know that she does not need to rely on an abusive man to provide for her and her kids. We are trying to support her by helping her pay this rent and supplying her with gas and grocery gift cards. We are trying to provide security short term while she figures out a more full time work schedule that will work with her daycare schedule.

Preschool Tuition

I'm working with a family who's son is in treatment for sexually abusing his three younger siblings. Mom stays home to care for the younger children and is 6 months pregnant. The family would like to send their 4 year old to preschool, but only have one income. The tuition is $70. The 4 year old would benefit from the interactions with other children and the help with learning the English language since her parents only speak Spanish. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Bed needed for 7 year old chil

A family I'm working with is looking for a bed with their 7 year old. Mom is pregnant and due in August this year! Mom, dad, and their 7 year old are currently all sharing a bed together due to limited resources and funds. Mom worries about this as she becomes more pregnant as her son moves around a lot and kicks in his sleep, as well as wanting him to have his own space. Dad works two jobs to cover their rent and bills. We have looked into other organizations for a donation of a bed but have not had any luck, unfortunately. This would be a huge help for this family!
