| Help Now | Disabled, Safe At Home Woman needs Damage DepositA woman who is enrolled in the state program, Safe-At-Home, which keeps battered women's address secure from the abuser is being forced to move from a two-bedroom apartment to a one-bedroom apartment since her 16 year-old son has decided to move out and live with his dad, (not the abuser.) She has a housing voucher, which enables her to pay 30% of her income towards her rent. She currently is on the State's General Assistance (GA) for disabled people of only $203.00 a month until the Federal disability program: Social Security Disability can determine if she meets their higher criteria. She has found a place to move that is a one bedroom and will only pay 30% of her check at $67.00 a month, but needs $500.00 damage deposit to pay before they will let her move in MONDAY, September 25th. She says she knows she screwed up by not having this deposit already, but her current rent is $277.00, YES, more than her income per month, but they determined that on a 12 month income and when it was reduced to her current GA of only $203.00 they didn't reduce it!!! She is depressed that her son moved out, has to move to a new residence and is afraid of her abuser, suffering trauma. Can anyone contribute to this cause? She is getting help with the moving truck and expenses already. Please let me know as soon as possible if you can help! She just found out today that her dog is suffering a health impairment and is saddened by this as well. Thank you for reading this request.Submitted by: CAP (Scott-Carver-Dakota) | All Locations | Yes | 09/22/2023 | Closed - Filled through othersOffers | |
| Help Now | Mother needing wearable Breast PumpA single mother is currently getting used to being a full time parent of two! The mother is currently pumping for the newborn and working to maintain her connection with her three year old. The mother is currently finding this very difficult to continue pumping while she is using a wall plug in pump which restricts her mobility. The mother is hoping to get assistance with purchasing a hands free wearable pump. This will allow her to play and interact with the three year old and helping the newborn while also being able to pump and get her breast milk to her baby! The mother is hoping for a $60 gift card to Amazon where she can purchase the pump! Otherwise the link can be provided and the donor can order it and we can get it to the mother. Any help is greatly appreciated!Submitted by: Scott County | Shakopee | No | N/A | Closed - Filled through othersFulfilledOffers | |
