| Help Now | Storage Unit Access for Vital DocumentsWe are supporting a young mother with one child who is actively working to exit homelessness and secure stable housing. She is in the final stages of qualifying for an apartment but is unable to complete her application process without her birth certificate and Social Security card. Unfortunately, these critical documents are currently in her storage unit. Due to a missed payment while navigating homelessness, she is temporarily unable to access the unit. She needs $157 to bring the storage unit current and retrieve the required identification documents so she can move forward with her housing application. This small but urgent amount will directly remove a barrier to housing stability for this young family and help them take the next step toward permanent housing.Submitted by: FISH | Shakopee | No | 1774915200 | ActiveOffers | |

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.Submitted by: Scott County | Prior Lake | No | 02/21/2026 | ActiveOffers | |
