The number of elderly in communities is growing rapidly, Most will need help wit

I am trying to find at least 3 volunteers that could provide rides to folks needing to get to doctor appointments. It would be helpful if you could commit to doing a couple of rides over the next 3 months. Many of our volunteers agree to receive calls from us on a schedule that is convenient for them. We generally know 3 days or more about the rides needed. In addition to the joy of helping others in your community, we provide a reimbursement of $.56 per mile to cover your expenses. While that reimbursement is a break-even proposition over time, it is a pleasant way to create some cash flow between paychecks. Most of the folks who need rides are elderly, disabled or financially challenged. We are needing drivers throughout the communities in your area

Dentist recommendation

The need is for assistance paying for braces and/ or an orthodontist who will work with this family (i.e. maybe a sliding fee scale). A 14 year old girl from Shakopee is in need of braces, which was recommended by her dentist. She comes from a family of 3 children and they do not have insurance to pay for these expenses. After paying for rent and education expenses for older sister there is not money left to pay for the cost of braces. The mother is also paying out of pocket for ADHD medication for this same child.

I'm working with a 17 year old male who struggles with anxiety and depression. This young man typically tends to isolate as a result of his mental health issues.
