Ms. Yvette needs bed and bedroom essentials

Partner: Caritas

Advisor: Colleen McDonald

Ms. Yvette's life changed dramatically after becoming disabled, leaving her displaced and unable to work. She has endured multiple painful surgeries and continues to face significant physical challenges that make even everyday tasks difficult. She has been sleeping on an air mattress, which has made it even harder for her body to recover and manage her pain. The financial strain of her disability, combined with her limited mobility, has made it nearly impossible to afford or shop for basic household furnishings. Your support would help provide the essential furniture she needs to create a safe, comfortable, and functional home, giving her a better environment for healing while restoring comfort, dignity, and stability.

Alice needs support for a dash camera

Partner: Safe Harbor

Advisor: Cara Boim

Safe Harbor has been working with this single mother since the beginning of the summer. She has ongoing concerns about being stalked and believes that individuals have been tampering with her vehicle. Because she relies on her car to travel throughout the community for work, these concerns have created significant stress and anxiety. We are asking for the community's support in helping us purchase a dash camera for her vehicle. A dash camera would provide an added layer of security, help document any suspicious activity, and give our client greater peace of mind. Since it is not possible for her to monitor her vehicle at all times, this simple tool could make a meaningful difference in helping her feel safer while continuing to work and care for her family. Any contribution toward the purchase of a dash camera is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us support this client during a challenging time.
