Senior In Need of Assistance
An advocate with Syntero contacted us about a senior who lives alone. Her only income is Social Security, and lives on a very tight budget. She has recently incurred unexpected medical bills, and with the increased cost of groceries lately, she has fallen behind on her bills and is in need of a partial rent payment. Dublin Bridges would like to help her with $345 to pay her rent.

Utility Restoration Needed
An advocate in one of the elementary schools contacted us about a woman who is staying with the children of another mother in order to care for them after the mom left has not returned. The electricity to the home was disconnected because the mom never paid the bill. The woman who is staying with the children reached out about getting assistance to get the power turned back on. Dublin Bridges and One Dublin have partnered to pay the bill so that the power is restored. Dublin Bridges would like to raise $340 to restore the electricity to the home.

Seeking an iPad for Disabled Student
An advocate in one of the elementary schools has reached out to us with a request for an iPad for a disabled student to use for communication. The iPad would greatly improve the student's communication as there are apps that provide visual, auditory, and tactile learning opportunities. The student's parents are struggling financially and are unable to purchase an iPad for their child. If you have a used iPad in good working condition that is able to run an IOS 16.5 or greater, please click on I CAN HELP and we will arrange to get it from you.
