Aaliyah needs assistance with home essentials

Partner: St. Joseph's Villa

Advisor: Drew Melson

Aaliyah has faced nearly a year of homelessness while struggling with mental health challenges. Despite some setbacks, she has persevered with support from her DSS and Housing Stabilization caseworkers. Earlier this month, she successfully signed an apartment lease and is now settling in with just an air mattress and a few basic items. She is starting over after losing everything in a fire last year, which ultimately led to her homelessness. Aaliyah would be grateful for support in furnishing her new home, allowing her to rebuild her life and focus on her mental health and well-being.

Kim needs help with an emergency car repair

Partner: Forward Foundation

Advisor: Soliél Lindsey

Meet Kim - a devoted and hardworking mama of 1. It's been "raining" for quite a while for Kim as she works 2 jobs to make ends meet, has gone through a tumultuous divorce and is overcoming a very long, draining and expensive family court matter(s). As if things couldn't any worse, the final plate in the air drops - her vehicle dies on her. Between her 2 jobs, her child's activities, and school - there is no question that she needs a reliable vehicle. With no physical support due to not being an RVA native, she is in desperate need of your support. Your help will get her back on the road and avoid a costly unexpected bill. Thank you in advance!
