Mr. Baker is a hard worker and one of the best employees at McDonalds. However, he is experiencing homelessness recently after maintaining his housing for over 3 years. He loves family especially playtime with his grandkids on his off days. Unfortunately, due to health issues, he was not able to maintain his previous residence. Currently, he is a participant at the Caritas Men's Emergency Shelter and has been given another opportunity to have playtime with his grandkids. Therefore, he is asking assistance from the community to pay a portion of his double security deposit so that he can move into his new place that has already been approved but needs extra support on the move-in fees.

After experiencing abuse from her mother, she was kicked out of her home because of her sexuality and gender. Ms. Maddie needs repairs to her vehicle so she can reliably get to work and continue working toward living independently. Without reliable transportation, maintaining employment and saving enough money to secure housing become much more difficult. A vehicle repair bill can be an overwhelming expense when you are already trying to make ends meet without the support of family.

Shannon is a survivor of human trafficking who is actively working toward rebuilding her life and gaining independence. One of her first steps is obtaining a replacement ID and Social Security card to access employment and other opportunities. However, outstanding fines from another state have created a barrier to obtaining her identification. Shannon is currently participating in programming focused on helping her achieve long-term stability and self-sufficiency. Financial support for these outstanding fines would help remove this barrier and allow Shannon to obtain the identification she needs, support her journey toward independence, and a more stable future.
