Urgent Food Assistance Needed for Quadriplegic Individual

We are seeking support for a quadriplegic individual living on a very limited fixed income, relying solely on monthly Social Security benefits. After covering basic bills, there is not enough left for consistent access to food, and this has created a serious hardship. This individual faces significant barriers to employment and mobility, making community support especially important. Any help with groceries, meal support, or gift cards for food would make an immediate and meaningful difference in their stability and well‑being. Thank you to anyone able to assist during this difficult time

Cleaning and Organization Need

I am working with a family who is in need of assistance with home organization and cleaning. 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.

I am currently working with a single dad and his teenage son who are homeless. They do not have a physical address they are able to use to accept mail which has shown to be a struggle with school enrollment as well as obtaining legal documents and just overall mail services. The family has very limited income and would really benefit from assistance with this. The family is looking at a XS PO Box with a six month rental in hopes that they will be able to fund the PO Box after the 6 months is up.

Vehicle Help for a Hard Working Mom of 3

We are currently trying to help a single mom of three girls who works full-time and is doing everything she can to care for and provide for her family. She previously participated in a partner in our network’s program and continues to do well as she builds stability for herself and her daughters. While she is managing her day-to-day expenses, she has not been able to save the extra funds needed for major vehicle repairs. Her vehicle is now in need of new brakes and new tires, and in its current condition it is unsafe for her and her children, especially with winter driving conditions. Reliable transportation is essential for her ability to get to work and safely transport her girls. We are hoping to have this addressed within the next week or so to ensure the safety of this family. We are estimating the cost for the fix would be around $1,200
