Ms. Coleman has worked day and night to avoid being late with her bills. Recently she experienced a crisis that initiated the cliff effect.

Your support will go towards stopping the eviction process and keeping Ms. Coleman thriving in a space of her own.

Imagine sitting with a 13-year-old child waiting to be prepped for a 9-hr surgery. A surgery that not only save their life but also everything from the waist down. This is the room that Ms. Cox sat in with her child. To be present in the room sacrifices were made in the form of missed days from school and work which resulted in things like the electric bill being unpaid. Ms. Cox used her small savings to ensure their home still could exist. Your generosity and support will go towards ensuring the lights remain on while mom and child transition from one room back to their rooms at home.

Elise needs assistance with transportation and beds for her children

Partner: St. Joseph's Villa

Advisor: Drew Melson

Elise is a determined 24-year-old mother of two who’s doing everything she can to build a better life for her family. She's taken big steps forward and recently secured stable housing, but transportation remains a major barrier. Without a car, she relies heavily on Lyft and Uber to get to work, appointments, and childcare. These rides are expensive and consume much of her income. She dreams of driving her own car, but challenges related to ADD have made it difficult for her to pass the driving test. Elise would greatly appreciate assistance with enrolling in driving classes, where one-on-one instruction can give her the support she needs to pass the test and the gain the independence she's been working so hard for. As her family settles into their new home, Elise is also in need of beds for her children, so they can have a safe and comfortable place to sleep.

Noah needs Work clothing

Partner: Caritas

Advisor: Shereida Archie

It's wonderful to hear that Noah at Caritas men's shelter has received a job offer as a cook at McDonald's! This is a significant step forward for him. To help him successfully start this new chapter, Noah is requesting assistance through the Giving Wall for some essential work-related items. Specifically, he is in need of a pair of work boots in size 14, several size 2XL t-shirts, and a pair of work pants with a size 38 waist, along with a work belt. Securing these items will not only enable Noah to meet the dress code requirements for his new position but will also provide him with the necessary confidence and comfort to focus on his responsibilities and make a positive start at McDonald's. Any support in fulfilling these needs would be greatly appreciated and would directly contribute to Noah's journey towards greater independence.
