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
Help Now	Gas card to get to work This 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	Mental Health Substance Abuse Transportation	No	1789084800	Active Fulfilled Offers
