Give progress by purchasing the urgent need of a hardworking human living through a financial crisis.

Ms. Williams needs assistance with a utility bill.

Partner: Peter Paul Development Center

Advisor: Chimere Miles

Ms. Williams is a single mother who is currently in need of assistance with her utility bill. Despite the financial challenges of supporting her children, she recently accomplished an important personal goal. After taking a pause from nursing school to focus on her children, Ms. Williams was able to make her final payment and complete all required fees to begin her journey toward becoming a Registered Nurse. Her goal is to complete RN school in 2027 and build a more stable future for herself and her children. Assistance with her utility bill would provide much-needed relief and allow her to focus on continuing her education and caring for her family without the added burden of an outstanding utility balance. Your support would be greatly appreciated as Ms. Williams works toward completing her education and achieving long-term financial stability for her family.

Ms. Erica needs a bus ticket.

Partner: Caritas

Advisor: Colleen McDonald

Ms. Erica is a pregnant single mother currently experiencing homelessness. Despite the difficult circumstances she is facing, she has been given an incredible opportunity to relocate across the country and stay with her sister, where she can enter a program that supports homeless mothers who want to carry their pregnancies to term and raise their babies. The opportunity is there—but she needs help getting there. Right now, Ms. Erica cannot afford the bus ticket required to make the journey to safety and stability. A donation of any amount can help get her one step closer to a safe place to live, support for herself and her baby, and a fresh start with family.
