​Dear 30-Days Foundation,

I feel the need to express my gratitude towards you . My heart longs to do the same one day, for the last 15 years i been praying and leading people to christ for the last 4 years we were able to get out in feed , pray for the homeless . . When God bless us to do. This month I had to Separate from my Husband because of abuse and infidelity. Which lead me to come up short this month. But I long to do what God has bless you to do. And when I get to where the grand open comes. I would love for you to come. Thank you so much for all you do and what you do . You have a big heart. God bless you.  But let me share a prayer with you if you don’t mind. 
 
Father i pray you will bless Mick and The 30-Days Foundation and send supernatural funds to his organization. Bless his family, his foundation and all that it does.  May this new year and years to come be purposeful and Joyous in Jesus name.
Have a blessed day 
I just wanted to reach out to express my gratitude for the assistance. I am so incredibly appreciative that the foundation was able to help support me with my financial hardship and I can't thank you enough for your willingness to help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I can't express the gratitude I have for this. I can only say thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it so very much. 
This gives me a fighting chance and access to so many more opportunities when I graduate. 
Much appreciation and again thank you.
I am a housing worker with Dakota County, serving clients in our region with housing vouchers. The clients I serve are very delicately housed and often need a little extra money due to circumstances they encounter getting out of homelessness. These grants from the 30-Days Foundation contribute to stability for parents with minor children. Every dollar matter for these families and it is greatly appreciated when there are so few resources.
I just wanted to say a big grateful thank you to you and your team. I received the gas card today. I hope someday I will be able to help another person like you all helped me.
Thanks again!
This is just wonderful news!!!
Thank you so much!!!
I'm gonna do great things and rebuild my life.
​God bless you!
​I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to the 30 Days Foundation for their exceptional support. The past few months, since I commenced my journey as a young immigrant originating from East Africa, have been among the most arduous periods of my life. Your assistance has served as a crucial bridge during times when I believed I could not overcome my challenges independently. The knowledge that compassionate individuals are prepared to aid strangers during their most difficult times has provided me with more than mere financial relief; it has rekindled my hope. I am genuinely grateful for all that you do.
I am just very grateful for any assistance. There's so many people that need it.
Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it. This will help me get further in my recovery.
​The 30-Days Foundation is a great resource to assist low-income families and individual meet immediate basic needs and avoid embarrassments. My families have benefitted from the grant several times.
Grants given for people entering sober living from treatment are life changing. These grants get people in the door to safe sober living where they can recover and thrive.
As a full time artist, it can be so unpredictable what form and frequency work comes in and this last year I was hit with a lot of surprise expenses and car issues related to the scarcity mindset everybody is in, and I think this help was an integral part of getting out of that feedback loop and starting to feel hopeful again. 
It’s meant a lot, even the small pieces of kindness are helping to begin a new confirmation bias that we’re in this together and not turning against each other!
Thank you!!!
​The grant given to the residents I work with has allowed the resident to stay in their home and renewed their hope in housing stability.
​Thank you so much to The 30-Days Foundation! Your grant helped relieve some of my stress. You just don’t know how much this kindness means to me. 
Your grants have made a meaningful difference for the women we serve in our sober homes. Transitioning from treatment into sober living can be an incredibly stressful time, and your support helps alleviate some of that burden by easing the financial strain they often face.

I am personally very grateful for your generosity, kindness, and the purpose you serve through this work. Your support truly has a lasting impact, and it does not go unnoticed.

Thank you again for everything you do.

Warmly,
Lizzie Gabrielson CPRS, Supportive Housing Advocate.
First of all Thank you for the needed assistance. My husband I were grateful. Very easy to ask for and receive assistance. Thank you!!!
I am a social worker who works with cancer patients. The 30 days Foundation has helped my patients by paying their electric bills and a storage fee. Many of my patients have large medical bills and decreased incomes due to their cancer diagnosis. The patients are very grateful for any assistance available to them. Thank you
Mick and his team have been a pillar of support to my clients. From support with back rent to application fees, my clients have seen success with maintaining and obtaining housing because of this team.
They are one for the community and a core part of my team when my clients face emergencies and I have nowhere else to go. Thank you 30-Days Foundation!
The 30-days Foundation has been an invaluable resource for my clients facing basic needs challenges. They've provided crucial assistance with utility bills, among other things. Mick is particularly noteworthy for his prompt responses and is highly regarded within our organization. His dedication and helpfulness make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.
Hello! This organization has helped me multiple times! God definitely has blessed me & others who need help & The 30 Days Foundation is truly a blessing & really helps folks like myself who are in need of funds to navigate through life. 
God bless The 30 Days Foundation and all those in need....
​These funds provided a lifeline of support to women seeking out stability. Thank you 30-Days!
The help provided lifted some stress I was carrying, I was greatly appreciative! Thank you ! 
​I reached out directly to The 30-Days Foundation on two separate occasions for assistance with deposits for women in my recovery homes who were having difficulty securing funds elsewhere. 
​When I was sick and could not go to work I got behind on some of my bills. 30 day foundation helped me pay down some of my bills relieving some stress from my life. I am very grateful for what they have done. 
​I’m very grateful for the program and it helped me in a time of me, especially around the holiday seasons well things were a little tight. We are very grateful for you guys. Thank you thank you so much!
As the result of the 30 days foundations support of Act 2 Recovery Residence's clients, we have witnessed housing assistance during these very difficult times for .any of our residents. I myself was awarded a "sober home deposit" which changed the trajectory of my recovery journey and afforded me the necessary time to establish sustainable recovery and housing. Thru the 6 years I Act 2 has been operating, the 30 Days Foundation has been instrumental in providing support to our recovery community members seeking safe and supportive housing. THANK YOU!
​The 30 Day Foundation supports individuals transitioning out of inpatient treatment by easing financial burdens and helping them start their recovery journey with stability and hope.
Thank you for all the help you have given my clients through this foundation. You have provided a great service and I hope to keep sending you more clients to help them.
With all the changes that have taken place with treatment programs and housing the money that has been given has given well needed relief. As we move into 2026 the need for more programs.  Charitable funding is paramount to keep crime, addiction and homelessness out of our lives and communities so thank you for all that you do and have done. Nothing brings a smile to a face faster then a check that allows some to have a roof over there head for another 30 days. Thanks for helping us save lives.  

Robert T. Sinclair
Stable Homes Housing Director
​The mutual aid provided by the 30 Days Foundation allowed my family the security to know our utilities would not be disconnected while we go through a bankruptcy. This help is so appreciated! We are so thankful for the support. Thank you from our entire family!
​I am a Case Manager, working with clients who had Mental Health disorders.
​This foundation has helped two different clients with utility bills. Both clients were extremely appreciative, as am I, that there are organizations out there that help those in need.
​The support provided by The 30-Days Foundation is absolutely. transformative and a genuine lifeline for individuals committed to their recovery.
As the operator of A Way Out Sober Living, I've seen firsthand how these grants remove crucial financial barriers—whether it's helping a resident secure stable sober housing,.
This assistance does more than just solve an immediate problem; it buys people time to focus on their sobriety and proves that their community believes in them. It provides the stability necessary for long-term success in recovery.
The 30-Days Foundation is a critical partner in our mission to help people build new lives. We are immensely grateful for their compassionate and reliable support.
