A mother of 3 that has maintained a stable job is in need of a gas card. Her employer has cut her hours, however has started back more consistently this week. Due to the lack of hours it has led to her not having enough money for gas. If she does not have gas she will not be able to get to work. I am asking for $40 for her for a gas card. Any amount even if it is less, will be much appreicated!

The importance of having your water is critical on so many levels to a child's well being. This single mom of 3 is facing disconnect and just needs $90 to cover the rest of the bill due today. She has worked hard to get most of the bill covered but is struggling and almost out of time to cover the remaining balance! Thank you for considering!

A couch is one of those items that help a house really feel like a home. It is a place where everyone can come together and watch a movie, read a book, or talk about their day. When a family doesn't have anywhere to relax together, everyone ends up going to their own beds to sit down and that can make it harder to connect as a family. This single mom living with her adult daughter and her elementary daughter would love a place to sit down as a family. Mom works hard to make sure that everyone's basic needs are met, but that doesn't leave anything extra for a large expense like a couch. Please consider donating your gently used couch to a family in need. Thank you!

One of the barriers our families often face is not being able to afford to put their students into school sports due to the cost associated. This student has expressed to mom that he wants to play football and attend football camp this summer and Mom really wants to support him in this decision but cannot financially. This student has made great strides academically this year and wants to try something new. We are looking for someone willing to help cover the cost of camp ($30) and provide a pair of cleats so he can attend football camp this summer. Thank you!

This mother of 4 is working to stay on top of bills, however has gotten behind on her electric bill. She works full time, but still struggles to make enough to pay all of her necesities on time, due to the high cost of living. Her electric bill is due tomorrow and needs $320 in order to pay on time. If not paid, the bill will significantly go up (and will also take her off of her PIPP payment plan) which could lead to it being disconnected in the near future. Thank you for considering!

This student recently broke his bike and has attempted multiple times to fix it with no luck. He uses the bike to get around the community for school, sports, and summer work as both his parents work and mom is finishing up radiation for her breast cancer.

An 18 year old student who is about to graduate is in dire need of school fees being paid. This student has made it very far, all while working, he is set to graduate and will still be able to walk regardless, but will not recieve transcripts if the high fee is not paid. This student owes $450 in school fees which unforutanately, the fees are some that cannot be waived by the school. While this is a lot of money.. if togethe,r the community is willing to donate some money towards these fees, it could make such a huge difference for his future. Thank you so much for considering!

Mother of three with a baby due in May needs assistance with her vehicle. She does not have reliable transportation which serves as a barrier getting her children to appointments. She's had recent work on her vehicle but needs a catalytic converter and rear bearings very soon to avoid other problems.

This family with 7 kids is in need of some beds. The kids are sharing beds that are too small and no one is sleeping well. A couple twin beds or bunk beds would really help this family get better sleep and give the kids the dignity of having their own bed.
