Recently Filled Needs
Large family in need of Lice treatment
An advocate from one of our schools has reached out to us about a Dublin family that recently contracted lice and needs immediate treatment. This is a family of 8 children. The cost to properly treat every child is prohibitive for this family that has recently moved into the district. We are hoping to raise $400 to treat each child to help the students return to school as soon as possible. With the service that is being offered at a discounted price, the family should be able to return to school as soon as they get treated.

Family Whose Child Has Cancer Faces Utility Disconnect
Our partners at One Dublin came to us on behalf of a family of 7 seeking assistance with their electric bill. Their child was diagnosed with cancer. The family is experiencing financial hardship because the mother is unable to work as much, because she needs to be home to care for him. The family has reached their financial benefit limit with One Dublin. Dublin Bridges would like to cover their $242.89 electric bill to prevent a disconnect. If you can help this family, please click I CAN HELP and donation instructions will be sent to your email.
Senior In Need of Assistance with Windows
An Advocate with Syntero has reached out to us about a senior client living on a fixed income who is in need of help with her old and very drafty windows. The senior is a cancer survivor and has other serious health conditions, as well as being immunocompromised. The drafty windows have increased her heating bills by quite a bit because of the amount of cold air coming into her condo. She has gotten estimates to have the 4 windows replaced and the lowest estimate is $5,200. She has no family to help with this cost. She has savings of $1000 to put towards the windows. Dublin Bridges is hoping to raise $2000 for her windows and will seek $2000 from another agency that may be able to help. If you would like to donate to this need, please go to http://bit.ly/donatedublin.
