Sal is a civil rights lawyer who became disabled by a mysterious neurological disorder in 2023. He can talk and is completely cognitively unharmed, but he has trouble walking and cannot use his hands. He has not had an income since 2023. He is currently ineligible for disability benefits or medicaid (his application is "pending"), and has been surviving by having friends over to cook, help him eat and do chores around the apartment. We are looking for someone to come over for a few hours to help him with these things. It would involve feeding him with a fork or spoon, making conversation, possibly following instructions to prepare a meal, possibly some light cleanup chores.

Hello, my name is Kait my family and I attend Bridgetown. I am reaching out today because I felt nudged to and believe, if nothing else, Bridgetown can pray for us! I’m a traveling healthcare worker and after 3 years of traveling the country with my family we have decided to settle down here in Oregon. When we decided to travel for the extra income, we sold everything we owned to have enough money to leave. We’ve rented furnished housing since, and are now settling in an unfurnished home. We don’t even own a fork. I am the soul provider of a family of 5 and I have just recently taken my dad in. I’m feeling overwhelmed with the idea of not being able to provide essentials for my family. I am asking for prayer warriors and also, if it’s a possibility to get the word to the Bridgetown community that we are in need of donations. Cups, plates, towels anything. Writing this email asking for help is actually the last thing I want to do, but I know sometimes God provides through others. Even if that is prayer for strength. Thank you Kait

Hi neighbors, My name is Chantel, and my husband and I are reaching out because our family is going through one of the hardest seasons We are a family with young children ages 4 and 3, and I’m currently pregnant with our baby girl due this fall. Due to financial hardship and housing issues, we’ve lost a lot of our stability and are having to move from the Portland area back to Southern Oregon by the end of the month. My husband serves in the Army Reserve, and we’ve been doing everything we can to get back on our feet, but right now we’re overwhelmed. The biggest challenges we’re facing are: * Finding or securing a moving truck we can afford * Help with moving expenses or gas * Extra hands to help load or unload * Packing supplies like boxes or totes * Any resources for military families, housing, or emergency assistance We’ve exhausted many of the resources we knew about and are trying not to lose hope. With two little kids who don’t fully understand what’s happening and another baby on the way, this transition has been emotionally and financially exhausting. If anyone has advice, knows of any resources or is able to help in any way, we would be so grateful. Also, we live on a third floor. Moving with all our kids will be so hard with our present living situation. So many of our neighbors are leaving also because of the financial strain of our apartment. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Even sharing this post or sending words of encouragement means a lot to our family right now. — Chantel & Family ❤️

Josh had a recent incident where he was hit by a drunk driver while riding his bike home from work. He had to take a large amount of time off work and pay for a lot of the medical bills himself as the other individual did not have insurance. He is having trouble affording groceries for himself and his kids

We have a unit that is washer and dryer all in one. It recently stopped working. There were some unusual regularly required maintenance steps that we were unaware of that might have caused this. It is an LG True Balance

Hello. I have a one year lease in Portland that started on March 1st 2026 and I've already paid the deposit and rent for my Portland apartment. My only issue is that I'm trying to get to Portland from Albany OR. I'm contacting as many places that I can, hoping someone will know the solution. I'm in a pickle because Im disabled and a domestic violence victim with a restraining order. I've already called all of the services in Linn county and they were unable to help, so I'm taking a try at Multnomah. I have a studio apartment and I'm moving to a micro studio apartment in Portland. I contacted Allied vans for a moving quote and they weren't able to give me a quote because my apartment is way under 2000 pounds. They estimated all of my items together was barely 600 pounds. One flight of concrete stairs at my apartment in Albany and 3 flights of indoor carpeted stairs in my apartment in Portland. I live next to a parking lot. My heaviest items are my portable air conditioner, end table and mattress. I have a mattress bag with straps for the mattress. I can't drive because of my disability. If anyone knows anyone who can help. I would appreciate it. I just want my stuff from Albany to Portland before April 4th. I can do any date between March 10th and April 4th. I just want my stuff in my apartment in Portland, so I can relax. Everything is already packed, zip tied and I have 4 latch straps and shrink wrap. I would kindly appreciate any help or advice to help move me to safety. Thank you. I contacted Bradley Angle and a kind woman is setting up my case for when I make to Portland.

Looking to help an immigrant family get food. Not able to go to food banks. Mom is trying to get by in the wake of having husband taken by ICE. She has several children ages 19, 18, 16, 14 and 10.

My wife and I just moved into a new condo and it appears that the garbage disposal was not installed just right. It’s a simple fix but I am disabled and cannot do it without the help of another able body person. Would take all of five minutes. The drain leaks at the top of unit under sink because of this.
