A motivated woman is stepping up to help her sister, a hardworking single mother, care for her children. She is currently enrolled in school and doing all she can to get back on her feet. In order to help with school drop-offs, medical appointments, and extracurricular activities, she needs to obtain a Florida hardship license. To begin the process, she must first complete a required online driving course, but she cannot afford the registration fee at this time. Helping cover the cost of this course would be a huge step toward enabling this family to stay strong, connected, and supported. The hardship license would also give her the ability to work.

I have a client who is living at a large apartment complex with his kids. The upstairs neighbors are very loud and keep them up at night. My client has taken his concerns to the office at his apartment, but the apartment complex told him that any evidence my client can send in of the neighbors being loud would not be received, as the apartment themselves have to catch the tenants above them being loud with their own evidence. Client is very frustrated. He has surgery coming up for his knee, and due to his physical barriers is only able to work 10 hours a week. With his current income he is only able to provide necessities. Client is looking for a couple of box fans to try and drown out the upstairs neighbors so that him and his kiddos can sleep more peacefully during the night. Example of box fan needed: Go To Link

This client is in need of assistance in paying for all or part of her application fees for a US Green Card. She is actively working with a lawyer who told her she will need to pay for the I-130 and I-485 applications through the Department of Homeland Security that will cost $675 and $1,440.

The client is married to a US citizen which makes her ineligible for public assistance in paying these fees. The client has a daughter from her first marriage and is pregnant with the child of her current husband. The father of her older daughter passed away and her current husband is in the process of adopting her daughter which has been a large expense for their family. The client is in the US legally but is experiencing fears around being deported and separated from her husband and children. She is applying for a Green Card so that she can stay in the United States with her family. The client and her husband both work full-time and are able to pay their monthly expenses by also utilizing community resources like food shelves and First Care. Both the client and her husband are believers. Their paperwork should be ready in the next week and the only thing they need to move forward is the funding needed to apply.

If you were to fulfill this request, you would provide payment by going with the client to her lawyer's office and putting your CarePortal debit card information on the application.
