Happy Friday! We had 6 needs come in yesterday and I wanted to highlight some easy needs to fill:
Here is the first one: A client of mine had a major surgery in March 2024 and told me that she is not sure if she can pay the bill for next couple of months. My client went back to work remotely as soon as she was able to to support the family. Her husband also has been working hard, but he missed a lot of work days to take care of my client before and after the surgery. Due to the surgery and missed work days for both of my client and her husband, client said she might not be able to afford the living cost next couple of months. We appreciate it if you can support my client and her family by providing some Target gift cards so that they can afford groceries and use their money for her medical expenses. They are already working hard and expecting just next 2 months to be short with money. Thank you for considering!

The next need: I am working with an individual who was put out of his family home today by a court order. He was able to retrieve some of his items this afternoon. He has no where to go and barely any money left for a hotel stay. He is in the process to have his day in court regarding the situation. His whole world has flipped upside down and he is trying his best to stay positive. Anything will help get a roof over his head. He will have to sleep in his car tonight if he can’t get into a hotel.We are in urgent need for money for a hotel tonight. Quoted around $76 for one night at a hotel in shakopee. Totaling around $400 to get through Monday. To help with this need, follow this link: https://helpnow.fishpartnernetwork.org/need/money-for-a-hotel/
The last need: A young man in recovery is working on putting his life back together. This man attended an Intensive Outpatient Treatment program with lodging. He successfully graduated the program and moved out of the sober home to live with a girlfriend. That relationship did not last and the young man has been homeless ever since. He has been staying with friends and/or family. His sobriety has been tested given the environments he has been staying in. Regardless, he remains very committed and motivated for recovery. He is wokring with a peer recovery specialist and he very recently started a new job. He is interested in moving into sober living, but will need the money for first month’s rent and deposit. As part of his picking up the pieces of his former life, he recently went to a tax preparer to file the past 4 years of his taxes he previously neglected. He has refunds due to him that will help him get back on his feet, including getting into a sober home; however, he currently cannot afford the $125/year to file. He would be extremely grateful for assistance with even one year’s filing fee. He is hopeful he will be able to pay for the rest with his newly earned income. The tax refunds could help him secure housing, pay for his vehicle registration, and reduce his anxiety, allowing him to focus on his new job and his recovery.
