Help Now	Veteran in Need of Assistance I am working with a 33-year-old veteran who recently lost his job. He is a responsible person who doesn't drink or do drugs and is looking for a new job. His search is made more difficult given that he doesn't currently own a vehicle. He would be grateful for whatever assistance that could be provided--including any job leads, even for short-term employment. Any of the following would help cover short-term needs related to rent, food, and transportation expenses: $500 to help with rent. $200 gift cards for groceries. $50 Uber gift card to help get to job interviews. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided. Submitted by: St. Michael's Catholic Church	Prior Lake	Employment Food Housing Mortgage/Rent Veteran	Yes	11/22/2025	Active Offers

Help Now	Help a Senior Widow Maintain Her Home and Independence I'm reaching out on behalf of a senior widow who lives alone in her home and hopes to continue living there as long as possible. She has her own well and a septic system that needs regular maintenance every 5-6 years. It's now time for her septic tank to be pumped, and the cost is estimated between $675 and $700. This is a necessary expense to keep her home safe and functional, but it's difficult to afford on her limited income. She also helps care for her grandson so that her only daughter can continue working full-time, which makes her contribution to the family invaluable. Currently, there are no local programs that assist with septic system maintenance. Any donation toward this cost would be deeply appreciated and would help her remain in her home, maintaining her independence and security. She took out a home equity loan to help supplement her Social Security - her only income and sold a nice lawn mower to help finance other bills. She is maxing out her credit cards and cannot finance anymore debt. She also uses a cane while inside the home and is having trouble with not having a railing to help guide her up her front steps and on the outside back door to her deck. Installation of these two railings plus materials would be approximately $400.00. This added safeguard will help ensure a prevention of a needless fall which will be harder to recover from should she suffer any injuries. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your kindness and consideration. Submitted by: CAP (Scott-Carver-Dakota)	Savage	Household Repairs Senior	No	1764460800	Active Offers

Help Now	Urgent help needed for local family with special needs children facing water shut-off A local family in our community is in urgent need of support. They are loving parents to 4 children, 3 of whom have special needs, including one child with seizures, another with autism, and a third child battling a serious lung disease due to have surgery in October. These children are getting services through the county due to their disabilities, and their care requires constant attention, numerous medical appointments, and costly treatment. Over the past three years, the family's property taxes have increased by nearly $1000.00 a month, putting even more strain on their already tight budget. Nearly every dollar they earn goes towards housing costs, electricity, heating, gas for medical transportation, and overwhelming medical bills. The mother works full-time, and the father had to quit his job to care for the children and take them to the numerous medical appointments. When they purchased the home three years ago, they were both working full-time and could afford the house. The eldest and youngest had yet to develop their heinous diseases and the property taxes hadn't increased their monthly payment by a whopping 25%. Their expenses increased while their income decreased. Due to these ongoing challenges, their water bill has gone unpaid and is now scheduled to be shut on October 1st. They are reaching out to our community with a humble request for assistance to help cover this water bill -something most of us take for granted but is absolutely essential for this family's well-being. If you are able to help in any way - big or small - your generosity would mean the world to them. Every donation will go directly toward keeping water running in their home and providing their children with the safe, stable environment they desperately need. Their one-parent gross income makes them ineligible for most governmental programs, thus seeking alternative resources. Moving from their home may become a necessity but disrupting their surroundings will be difficult. After the youngest has lung surgery, this may become their only option. Thank you for any support you can offer. Submitted by: CAP (Scott-Carver-Dakota)	Prior Lake	Child Welfare Children Domestic Issues Utilities	Yes	1759190400	Closed - Filled through FISH Offers
