| Help Now | Computer for educational opportunity/CollegeI am requesting consideration for the donation of a laptop for a single father who is currently pursuing higher education while maintaining his recovery from substance use and mental health disorders. He has demonstrated a strong commitment to rebuilding his life through sustained sobriety, active participation in treatment, lives in sober living and is active in his community. He is dedicated to creating a stable future for himself and his children. As he prepares to begin college, access to a reliable laptop is essential for completing coursework, attending online classes, conducting research, communicating with instructors, and fulfilling academic requirements. As a single parent, he faces significant financial challenges while balancing the responsibilities of parenting, work, recovery, and education. Purchasing a computer is currently beyond his financial means, creating a barrier to achieving his educational and career goals. A donated laptop would provide more than just access to technology—it would be an investment in his long-term success, independence, and continued recovery. Education is a protective factor that supports financial stability, self-sufficiency, and sustained sobriety, allowing him to build a healthier future for himself and his family. Your generosity would help remove a significant obstacle and provide his with the tools needed to succeed academically while continuing the positive progress he has made in recovery. Thank you for considering this request and for supporting individuals who are working diligently to transform their lives through education and recovery. A windows based laptop would be most beneficial,Submitted by: Havens of MN | Shakopee | No | 1789776000 | ActiveFulfilledOffers | |
| Help Now | Gas card to get to workThis is a woman who has fought a long battle with addiction and mental health symptoms for years. Over the past year, she has made tremendous progress and now lives in stable housing, takes an active part in parenting her children, has full-time employment, purchased a car and was able to get her drivers license reinstated. Although her budget is tight she has managed to meet all of her needs and pay her bills on time. She recently missed work for a couple days due to a death in her her family. If she uses all of her paycheck to pay her bills on time she will not have enough to purchase enough gas to get to work. By utilizing the food shelf, she believes this gas card would be enough to help her stretch to cover the gap until her next pay check. If someone is able to assist with this need it would be greatly appreciated!Submitted by: Scott County | Scott County | No | 1789084800 | ActiveFulfilledOffers | |

| Help Now | Prescription Food for Emotional Support CatA woman in our community is currently struggling financially and living paycheck to paycheck. Her emotional support cat has been diagnosed with a bladder stone and needs prescription cat food specifically formulated to help dissolve the stone and prevent further complications. Unfortunately, the prescription food costs approximately $150 through her veterinarian, which she is unable to afford right now. Her cat has been experiencing discomfort for nearly two months, and getting the proper food would provide much-needed relief and help address the bladder stone. We are seeking $150 to cover the cost of the prescription cat food and help this individual care for an animal that provides important emotional support and companionship.Submitted by: FISH | Belle Plaine | No | 1790726400 | ActiveFulfilledOffers | |

| Help Now | Request for Household FurnitureI am requesting assistance for my 17-year-old client, who recently moved into her father’s home.

At this time, my client does not have a proper bed to sleep in, and her clothing is being kept in a pile on the floor because there is no dresser or other storage available. Providing a bed and dresser would help meet her basic needs and create a more stable, safe, and comfortable living environment as she adjusts to her new home.
