Dear John,

Dana S., a 56-year-old Wisconsin resident, was temporarily living at the Milwaukee Salvation Army Emergency Lodge. She wanted to apply for permanent housing, Social Security, and disability benefits, but she needed an ID to do that. With no income, she couldn’t afford the fee for a new ID at the DMV.

Luckily, VoteRiders is a partner and frequent visitor to the Milwaukee Salvation Army Emergency Lodge. When Dana saw that VoteRiders would be on-site to provide one-on-one assistance to voters in need, she knew she’d found the help she needed to get her ID.

Jake took Dana’s information, scheduled a DMV appointment for her, and arranged a free ride to take her to and from her local DMV office. To ensure everything went smoothly, Jake accompanied Dana to her DMV appointment and helped her fill out the required paperwork. Once the paperwork was signed and completed, Jake covered the cost of Dana’s updated ID.

“VoteRiders is so needed because there are so many people out here financially struggling,” Dana said. “Even with jobs, people are still struggling. This is a major blessing and I’m thankful and grateful for it.”

Before Dana left, Jake made sure she was also registered to vote since a photo ID is required to vote in person in Wisconsin , and a copy of an accepted identification is required the first time you request an absentee ballot.

With her new ID, Dana is ready to apply for housing assistance, and of course, vote! Read more about Dana’s story on our website. >> [link removed]

P.S. VoteRiders always covers the fees and transportation costs associated with getting a voter ID, because we believe cost should never be a barrier to voting. All gifts are currently being matched, which means we can help twice as many voters like Dana!
