Request: #231336 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Rochester • State: Minnesota • Zip Code: 55901 • County: Olmsted • Submitted By: Olmsted County

Story

•
1 Child

A local Kindergartner is in need of a pair of flexible/indestructible prescription glasses to help her learn and see in our world. Her insurance is no longer covering a pair of glasses for her due to her accidently breaking her last pair. To help with her sensory and developmental needs we are asking for help purchasing a pair of "indestructible" glasses from Zenni that will be kept at school for use. The support staff at school will be helping her learn and adapt to these glasses to ensure she can learn and keep them safe. Ideally we would love to get two pairs one for at home and one for at school but at this time just focusing on a pair for school to ensure learning. The total I included is an estimate from the company.

Thanks for considering.

The youth is located at a facility 2 hours away from the parents’ home. The mother has recently needed to stop working due to needing to help care for some of the kids at home. The cost to drive and visit this youth is very expensive round trip, but the parents really want to see him more often. They have just been able to begin visiting in person, and it means a lot for the youth to see his parents after so long in a facility. This request is for gas cards to assist with the journey to and from the facility. When the request is met, the parents will be able to schedule an in person visit immediately after assistance is given to see their son.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Please consider helping a single mom and her 2 year old daughter here in our Scottsville community. They are in need of a refrigerator as theirs went out and now they do not have one. This would help them keep cold food instead of just shelf food for meals. This single mom works multiple jobs including an in-home bakery. Appliances are very expensive and finances are tight for her. Not only would this help with their food but it would also help her continue her business and the flow of income.

We have contacted Doug's Maytag in Scottsville and they have a new Amana for $667 or a new Whirlpool for $754. There is a $79 delivery fee and they will remove and dispose of the old one for her.

If you do not have a refrigerator to give, please consider giving financially through Go To Link In the "Give To" section select "Single Mom's Ministry" with a note for "Refrigerator".
