Maria has been staying at CARITAS Women's Emergency Shelter for the past month. She recently lost her housing and began staying in her car before coming to CARITAS for shelter. While staying here, she's been keeping her furniture in a storage unit so that when she is able to move back into housing she'll still have her belongings. Your assistance will allow her to pay her past due bill for her storage unit and keep her belongings.

Terrence has been in shelter for 30 days, and due to his consistency in meeting with the case manager and working towards his housing plan, he was offered a job with the shelter as a maintenance tech. As such, Terrence travels between the different facilities of the agency to make repairs, but needs a form of transportation to be able to get to and from easily. A bike and lock would facilitate him in being able to get to and from work daily, and would also mean an ability to get to and from work once he is stably housed.

Gregg has been in shelter for the past 30 days after becoming unhoused when his home was foreclosed on. He has reported losing "everything" as a result of a deep depression, including his employment and his transportation. A bike would help Gregg to be able to look for work outside of walking distance from the shelter, and would ensure that he would be able to maintain employment after finding stable housing.
