Let’s start the week with compassion in action!
These are some of the most urgent needs in our community right now,
and your generosity can make all the difference.
Whether it’s $10 or $100, every donation helps lift a burden and brings hope to someone
facing a tough moment.
Thank you for being part of the FISH network—together, we’re creating real change, one need at a time.
What is needed:
I am working with a mom who is trying to leave a severe domestic violence relationship. It is not uncommon that the person trying to leave is financially dependent on the abuser, which is the issue that this mom is running into. Due to limited resources, she has minimal capacity to make sustainable change without additional support. She is currently working with me on housing applications, which would present her and her daughter with a positive opportunity of change. While she is working with me toward positive changes, financial support in the form of gift cards would be very helpful as it would help her cover costs of her storage unit, groceries, gas to get to meetings and drive her daughter to school, and presents for her daughter’s upcoming 7th birthday. This mom is very appreciative of any support and puts it to good use to make sure that her daughter’s needs are being met.
Cost: $350

What is needed:
We’re helping a single mom who is in need of a new queen-size mattress. The one she currently has is old and worn, making it difficult for her to get a good night’s sleep. A quality mattress would make a big difference in her rest and overall well-being as she continues working toward stability.

What is needed:
One of the men in our program is in need of help covering April rent. He’s been consistent and current for over a year, but recently experienced a severe mental health flare-up with depression that made it difficult to keep up. He’s now $900 behind and working hard to get back on track.

What is needed:
A family I work with is in need of a new bed. They had to move to a new apartment building and get rid of their furniture due to an insect infestation in their old apartment building. They have been able to secure a safe place for their baby to sleep again but the parents have been sleeping on the floor with sheets. They work very hard but have had a hard time affording things recently and are not sure when they’ll have extra funds to be able to purchase a new mattress and bed. Any amount donated to a new mattress and bedframe would be greatly appreciated! Below are links to the products that would be for the family.
