Help Now	Urgent Assistance Needed for a Mom Without Power I’m reaching out on behalf of a mom in our community who is currently facing a difficult situation.

Help Now	Assistance Request for Vehicle Tabs We are reaching out on behalf of a client who is a quadriplegic and living on a very limited fixed income through Social Security. Due to high monthly rent and ongoing living expenses, he is struggling to cover the cost of renewing his vehicle tabs, which expire on September 30, 2026. For this individual, his vehicle is more than just transportation. It represents one of the few forms of independence he still maintains. Being able to drive allows him to attend appointments, access necessities, and remain connected to his community. The cost to renew his tabs is $178.25, and unfortunately, this expense is beyond his current financial means. We are seeking any assistance, donations, or community support that may help cover this cost and allow him to maintain his mobility and independence. Any contribution, no matter the amount, would be greatly appreciated and would make a meaningful difference in his daily life. Thank you for your consideration and support of this community member.

Help Now	Computer for educational opportunity/College I 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	Education	No	1789776000	Active Fulfilled Offers
