Ms. Danene is a single mother, navigating transition from an unsafe environment, working to establish financial security for her children. As Ms. Danene has been able to successfully obtain employment, the critical need for transportation still exists so that she can efficiently take her children to school then directly to work. Transportation will also support Ms. Danene's independence in being able to provide experiences for her children, attend school meetings, and appointments. Your support will go toward a healthy future for both this mother and her children.

Justina has a daughter who has experienced trafficking and this has resulted in the need for services for her daughter, and a lot of mental health concerns. Justina works hard and has insurance through her job, and has three other children she takes care of. Because of the mental health concerns from the trauma, her daughter has been admitted to acute hospitals to help her. These stays have accrued large hospital bills that mom cannot afford and is putting her in serious debt. Please help Justina, so she doesn’t have to decide between getting her daughter the help she needs or not being able to afford it.

It must be challenging for Steven to arrive in a new city and immediately face the lack of basic necessities like suitable clothing and shoes. Being at Caritas men's shelter and wanting to find employment is a positive step, and it's completely understandable that not having appropriate attire would create a significant barrier. Seeking help from the Giving Wall for something as fundamental as boxer briefs (size 2x) and pants (size 42) speaks to Steven's immediate needs. Having these items wouldn't just be about physical comfort; it would be about equipping him with the basics he needs to present himself confidently as he looks for work in Richmond. Feeling prepared can make a huge difference in someone's motivation and self-assurance when facing the job search. Hopefully, the Giving Wall can provide Steven with this essential support, giving him a better chance to secure employment and start building a new life here.
