Opportunities for Kindness

Money for Utility Bill Needed


A hardworking Lakota mother of four has secured an affordable home for her family in the district, but a single past-due utility bill of $500 stands in their way. As the sole provider working full-time, she is just one step away from moving her family into a stable environment—and needs a little help to get there.  The family is very grateful for any and all assistance!  You can also make a monetary donation by clicking the link below.

Money for Car Repairs Needed


A single mother in our community is facing an urgent financial hurdle: her personal vehicle has been repaired, but the outstanding auto shop balance prevents its release. To maintain her daily responsibilities, she has been forced to pay for a costly rental car, creating an unsustainable strain on her monthly budget and putting her at risk of falling behind on essential expenses. Assisting with these repair costs delivers immediate financial relief, ending the cycle of temporary rental fees and restoring long-term stability for her family of five. The family is very grateful for any and all assistance!  You can also make a monetary donation by clicking the link below. Thank you for your kindness.

Mom is working hard to support her family and having comfortable family room furniture - like a couch, chairs and/or end tables - would transform the new space into a warm and welcoming home.
