OCH is able to responsibly and impactfully provide urgent needs in as little as one day statewide, because we operate through an online platform. Working in this way also makes it possible to keep a low footprint so that the majority of funds raised can be used to directly support underserved children and their families.

Your help can change the trajectory of a child’s life.
Here are examples of what your contribution can pay for:

$1,000 can pay a month’s rent to keep a family from becoming homeless.

$800 can pay for summer camps or summer school.

$500 can pay for months of afterschool activities.

$250 can pay for laptops so students can be successful in school.

$150 can pay for urgently needed baby or child care needs.

$50 can pay for bus passes to help parents reliably visit children in foster care.

I can’t even begin to explain how valuable and truly essential the support that One Can Help provides is to our clients. I’ve been moved to tears by their generosity and unfailing support. I am a social worker and work with youths and families impacted by the court system. So many times the difference between success and continued struggle for these children and families is a small financial burden that cannot be met anywhere else. I’m talking simple things—like $30 for a bus pass for a teen to get to a first job, payment to a family’s electric bill to keep the lights on during a time of need, summer camp fees, cost of a moving truck rental to pick up furniture donated from an agency, clothes for a job interview, etc. All of these things are minimal—but the impact is enormous. Our clients benefit in so many ways from this assistance and it wouldn’t be possible without One Can Help. And on a selfish note from the social worker side of things, they make the process so incredibly simple and fast to minimize the hurdle even more. I truly do not know what I’d do without them and am forever grateful!”
