Assistance with Car Insurance Payment

We are requesting support for a disabled individual we work with who is currently facing a complete loss of income. She has been fighting for short‑term disability and Social Security, but due to ongoing delays, she has had zero income since December 2025. Her car insurance payment of $205.00, due on February 1, 2026, remains unpaid. Her vehicle is essential for medical appointments, daily living needs, and maintaining her independence. Without assistance, she is at risk of losing reliable transportation during an already extremely difficult time. Any support toward this bill would make a meaningful difference and help her stay stable while she waits for her benefits to be approved.

Cleaning and Organization Need

I am working with a family who is in need of assistance with home organization and cleaning. The family moved from a townhome to a smaller apartment in October and hasn't been able to stay on top of these household tasks. This need is a borderline hoarding situation so ideally we are looking for a small group of people who could assist for a period of time to get the apartment to a point that is manageable. The client is aware that the situation has gotten to a borderline hoarding point and that she is in need of help. The family does have a plan for supports to be able to maintain the home once it is at a management point.

Patient with cancer needing car repairs in order to get to appointments

Patient with 4 different cancers and now may have a 5th cancer is in desperate need of car repairs in order to attend appointments. After paying her bills each month she only has $7 left. Goes to food shelves but still has food insecurities. She forgoes attending her medical appointments d/t not having transportation to get to them. An Uber is too expensive. She has had a difficult life and getting her car repaired would make all the difference. She has a 2008 Mazda Tribute. It needs new tires, a muffler, and it has an oil leak that drips onto the engine producing smoke inside the vehicle. She is the sweetest patient and I would love to find help for her. Thank you in advance!

Single mom in neded!

FISH Family! I am working with a single mom of a child who has some unique needs. The family recently secured housing following the city purchasing the land of the previous apartment resulting in the need to move. Mom is working full-time, but often needs to take time for appointments and school challenges to support her child. Within the last week mom has been having some car challenges and is in need of a new water pump. She has called 10+ auto shops to get the best rate for the work. Mom has found a shop that is able to complete the work for $1000. Mom is struggling to come up with payment to fix her car, with worries about falling behind on rent. She has looked into the option of using public transportation, but there is not a bus line near that is open during her work hours (in the AM). We are asking for any funds to support with the cost of the new water pump and cost of service. Any amount towards the need will help! Thank you so much for considering donating to this need.
