Gahanna Bridges

In February, a 17 year old explained that she was homeless, staying between various family members. After speaking with the mom who was living out of state, one of our local residents offered her to move in.  Mom did not want to sign her rights away, so the local resident was made power of attorney over this young lady. As a result she has taken on a second job to be able to best meet all of her needs but the young lady is in need of a new/used laptop for college (she is going to Ohio State Newark). Anything that anyone can do to help would be a huge blessing. we want to remove any barrier in her way of becoming a successful college graduate.

She will take any laptop, she just needs one that has Word on it so she can type papers.  If you would like to help, simply click on "I CAN HELP" to let us know how you can help.

Single grandmother raising her 17 year old son. They are trying to move to the Gahanna area for her grandson attend Gahanna Schools. The grandmother took custody of her grandson when her daughter was killed in a car accident. The Grandmother has some legal fees due to custody issues causing a huge strain on them financially. Her grandson is struggling in the school district he is currently in due to bullying and the family is excited to move to the Gahanna area because of the school system. The young man is very responsible and has already obtained a part time job for the summer but the family is struggling coming up with the deposit for their possible new home. The family is asking for help with the deposit alone. The deposit for them to move in to a safe and welcoming home is $1300. This would benefit the family greatly by relieving the pressure of the young man worrying every day about what he is going to encounter at his  current school, while relieving the stress and anxiety from the grandmother worrying her grandson.  If you would be willing to donate, please click on the "I CAN HELP" button.  Any donation would be appreciated and together we can assist.
