• Shaunte Williams's GoFundMe Profile (gofundme.com) — A Las Vegas mother of five who recently moved from a shelter into an unfurnished house is asking local residents for help getting basics like beds, couches, clothing, food, and other essentials. She works at a shoe store and says any donations or shares of her fundraiser will help turn the empty house into a real home for her children.
   

• Angelica Hernandez's GoFundMe Profile (gofundme.com) — A home gardener named Angelica is planning a move to Las Vegas and hopes to build a container garden she can share with her future neighbors, but recent home repair costs have strained her finances. She describes years of tending vegetables, herbs, and a small community project bed, and is using GoFundMe to ask for modest support so she can bring that same community-focused gardening spirit to her new Las Vegas neighborhood.
