Amy's Mess is the non-profit that Helena is supporting with our first Alive at Five on June 17 at Lewis & Clark featuring the The Talbott Brothers!

See you then!

🩷She reached out!🩷

She is a high school senior who is trying to finish school and graduate, but right now she has very little support, limited availability to transportation and no stable place to call home.

She and her boyfriend were staying in a trailer with no running water and no electricity, except for an extension cord, and they wanted to charge them $1,000 a month plus a $2000 deposit. They are currently staying at a hotel but it is taking nearly all of her paychecks just to pay for a few nights at a time.

Despite everything she is facing, she wants to graduate. She is meeting with her school counselor to find out what it will take to catch up and, if needed, attend summer school to earn her diploma.

Right now, she is in immediate need of:
• Clothing and undergarments
• Laundry assistance
• A cooler
• Storage totes
• Groceries
• Gas cards
• Help with a shopping trip for clothes & essentials
• Continued support with lodging

Like so many young people facing homelessness, she does not know where she will sleep or how she will continue paying for a roof over her head.

If you would like to help, whether through donations, gift cards, clothing, or financial support, please send me a private message.
Sometimes all it takes is a few people coming together to help someone stay in school and build a better future.

Let’s help this young woman cross the finish line and earn the diploma she has worked so hard for.

Did you see that one of the Alive at Fives we're doing this year is on the Capitol Lawn? What an amazing place to take in live music and celebrate the Montana History Fest. Thanks to sponsors like Rocky Mountain Credit Union, Alive at Five is back for another year in Helena, Montana. See you there!

Alive at Five is gearing up for the 2026 season, and we’re looking for sponsors. This is a chance for your business to be part of something that’s genuinely fun, energetic, and meaningful for the Helena community. We see hundreds of people each week, and it’s the kind of atmosphere people want to be around.

We know businesses get asked for sponsorships all the time, and committing can be tough—especially right now. But if there’s ever been a time people are looking for something positive and fun, this is it.
