In Michigan, the lack of mass public transportation is a major obstacle to people experiencing homelessness and poverty. Inadequate transportation can not only be a barrier to securing and maintaining housing and employment, but it can also contribute to feelings of isolation and depression. SOS offers various transportation solutions to help people maintain their independence, connect to their community, and increase their self-sufficiency.

• $5 One round trip bus ticket

• $30 A week's worth of gas

• $66 A monthly bus pass

• $100 Assistance with a car repair

Once we reach our goal, South Oakland Shelter will distribute the funds to people like the ones you see below.

Aubri, met her goal of a new vehicle that she desperately needed in order to achieve stability for she and her son.

I'm working hard each day to give Aiden the life he deserves. When people go out of their way to help us, it keeps me going, and gives me a chance to help someone else too! Your donation goes a lot further than you think!" -Aubri
