Printables — take them with you
Everything in this app that can be printed lives on this one page, so a person with no phone, no internet, or no printer of their own can still carry the help out the door. A library can print this whole page, or one piece at a time — each Print button below prints only its own piece. Libraries, shelters, and helpers: you are welcome to print these and hand them out, free, always.
“I am Deaf” wallet card
Print this card, cut it out, and carry it. Show it at a police stop, a hospital, a workplace, a school, or any window where speaking is hard. (This is the same card as on the Help page.)
I am Deaf.
I communicate in writing or in sign language. Please write to me, or face me when you speak so I can read your lips. In an emergency, you may text me. Thank you for your patience.
Who to contact — the sheet
This is the sheet that should be handed to a person on the first day their identity is taken: every door, in one place. Keep it with your records. (The same directory stands at the top of the Identity page.)
| Who | Official door | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Your local police | Your local police station, or its non-emergency line | Non-emergency line for your area |
| Federal Trade Commission (FTC) | IdentityTheft.gov | 1-877-438-4338 |
| Your state Attorney General | Your state Attorney General's consumer protection office | Listed on your state Attorney General's official site |
| FBI — Internet Crime Complaint Center | ic3.gov | Through ic3.gov |
| Your free credit reports | AnnualCreditReport.com | 1-877-322-8228 |
| Social Security Administration | ssa.gov | 1-800-772-1213 |
| IRS identity protection | irs.gov/identity-theft-central | 1-800-908-4490 |
| Local help of every kind | Dial 2-1-1 | 2-1-1 |
Getting your documents back — checklist
Most money programs will ask for ID at some point. Help that asks for little or nothing exists today — and there is a free path to get your documents back. Start where you are. (The full teaching stands on the Grants page.)
- Asks for little or nothing now: food pantries (many need no ID; TEFAP food needs no ID, only the income limit), Red Cross disaster help, shelters through 2-1-1, HRSA health centers (they will see you and help you start even if your papers are not in order — ask for the sliding-fee scale), and public libraries.
- Anonymous first step: the USA.gov Benefit Finder screening asks for no name and no Social Security number. You can learn what you may qualify for before showing anything to anyone.
Getting your documents back, in order
- Birth certificate first — it unlocks the rest. Order a certified copy from the vital records office of the state where you were born; USA.gov teaches the process. If you cannot pay, ask a shelter or homeless-services agency: many waive the fee for people experiencing homelessness, and homeless ID projects in many cities do this whole process and cover fees. Find one through 2-1-1.
- State ID next. Take the birth certificate to the motor vehicle office in the state where you are now. No home address? Many shelters let you use their address or give you a residency letter — ask the shelter staff. ID fees are often waived or reduced for people experiencing homelessness — ask the clerk directly.
- Social Security card. A replacement is free through the Social Security Administration (ssa.gov or your local office) once you have ID. If you do not know your number, the office can look it up with other identifying information.
- A helper can go with you — a case worker, a librarian, or a ministry helper. Print this list and carry it.
CPR letter — for a library or fire station
Many libraries lend CPR practice kits, and fire departments, hospitals, the Red Cross, and the American Heart Association hold free practice days. Print this letter and hand it in to ask. (The CPR teaching stands on the Help page.)
Dear Library / Fire Station team,
I am preparing to learn CPR. Do you lend a CPR practice kit, or hold a free practice class I may join? If you do not, can you tell me the nearest place that does? Thank you.
Our privacy promise — the card
Print this and keep it with your papers, so you always hold in your hand what this app promises you — and so you can tell a fake copy from the real thing. Any page in our name that asks for your card, your Social Security number, or your bank details is not us.
Our privacy promise, in plain words
This is private. What you put into any tool in this app stays on your device. This app does not save your information, does not send it to us, and does not share it with anyone. There are no accounts, no sign-up, no trackers, and no card is ever asked for — not to start, not to verify, not for anything. If a page ever asks for your card, your Social Security number, or your bank details in our name, it is not us. Close it.
You choose what to open. You can stop at any time, and stopping changes nothing for you.
Missing person — the first-hours checklist
Print this and keep it where your family can reach it, so the first hours are already written if the day ever comes. If your person is missing now, start at the top and go in order. (The full teaching stands on the Missing Persons page.)
- If someone is in danger right now, call 911.
- Report to your local police right away. There is NO waiting period — you do not have to wait 24 hours, or any hours, to report a missing person.
- Write down the date, the time, the officer's name, and the case number.
- If it is a child, call NCMEC: 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
- Enter your person into NamUs at namus.gov — free and official. A family can create the entry.
- Do not clean their room, wash their clothes, or delete anything from their devices or accounts. Leave everything as it is.
- Start the records page: last seen — when, where, who was there, what they were wearing. Add a recent clear photo and their description. Log every call and tip with the date, time, and who called.
- The flyer carries the police phone number only — never your home address, never your personal phone.
- Real help is free — police, NamUs, and NCMEC never charge. Anyone who asks for money to find your person is running a scam. Write the call down and tell the police.
Lost wallet — replacement waiting times
Print this and keep it with your papers, so if your wallet is ever lost or stolen, the honest waiting times are already in your hand. First: lock every card in its banking app, call each bank and card company to report it, and — if it was stolen — make a police report the same day and protect your identity (FTC at IdentityTheft.gov, a fraud alert, and a credit freeze). Then work this list. Times change: your state and your company set the real time — check their official page or ask on the call. (The full teaching stands on the Lost Your ID, Wallet, or Purse page.)
| What was lost | Who to contact | Usual waiting time |
|---|---|---|
| Bank debit card | Your bank — number on your statement, app, or official site | About 5–7 business days by mail; some banks print one the same day in a branch; 1–3 day express often for a fee |
| Credit cards | Each card company — statement, app, or official site | About 5–7 business days by mail; 1–3 days express, sometimes free, sometimes a fee |
| Driver's license or state ID | Your state RMV / DMV — many states allow online ordering | Temporary paper ID the same day in person; the real card about 7–10 business days by mail |
| Social Security card | Social Security Administration — ssa.gov; the card is free | About 2–4 weeks by mail. A lost card does not bring a new number |
| U.S. passport | U.S. Department of State — report at once: online, 1-877-487-2778, or form DS-64; replace in person with DS-11 + DS-64 | Routine about 4–6 weeks; expedited about 2–3 weeks, plus mailing. A reported passport is cancelled, even if found |
| Benefits (EBT / SNAP) card | Your state's EBT line — call immediately to shut the old card down | About 3–5 business days by mail |
| Health insurance card | Your health plan, or your state program | About 7–10 business days; a clinic can usually verify you in the system meanwhile |
| Birth certificate | Vital records office of the state where you were born | About 2–4 weeks by mail; faster options for a fee |
Nobody legitimate charges you to report a lost wallet, and nobody “expedites” a Social Security card for cash. If that call comes, hang up and call the number on your statement yourself.
Electrical safety — the seasonal checklist and detector reminder
Print this and keep it on the refrigerator. The monthly tests take five minutes; the seasonal walk takes one calm afternoon a year. (The full teaching stands on the Electrical Safety and a Safe Home page.)
Every month — the detector and GFCI tests
- Press TEST on every smoke alarm and every carbon monoxide alarm. A real one answers with a loud, real sound. If it does not sound, it is not protecting you — replace the battery, and if it still does not sound, replace the unit.
- Check the date stamped on the back of each detector. The whole unit is replaced at ten years.
- Test every GFCI outlet (the ones with TEST and RESET buttons, near sinks and outside): press TEST and the power should cut; press RESET and it should return. If TEST does not cut the power, that outlet is on the electrician list.
Winter
- Space heaters: three feet from anything that burns, plugged straight into the wall — never an extension cord — and off when you sleep or leave.
- Holiday lights inspected before they go up; damaged strings go in the trash; lights off overnight.
Spring
- Never step into standing water that may be touching electricity — stay out and call the utility.
- A downed power line is always live. Stay far away and call 911 or the utility.
Summer
- Air conditioners on their own outlet; cords and plugs kept away from pools and water; GFCI protection outside.
- Generators never indoors or in a garage — appliances plug into the generator, never the generator into the house without a transfer switch installed by an electrician.
- Lightning: indoors, and away from plumbing and plugged-in devices.
Fall — the home walk
- Walk the home: cords, outlets, switches, flicker. Warm, scorched, buzzing, or loose goes on the electrician list.
- Furnace checked before the cold. Heaters get their three feet from the first cold night.
- A device that tingles or shocks — even "a little" — gets its power cut at the breaker, and is not touched again until a licensed electrician and the utility have seen it.
The rule: a small shock is a warning, not a nuisance. Cut the power, log it, call. Shocks that knock someone down, hurt, burn, or cross the chest get medical care the same day — and any shock can be reported with the device to SaferProducts.gov.
Your legal rights — the checklist
Print this and work it on paper, one line at a time, if any of these things are affecting your life. Tick each box as you finish it. (The full legal section — the documents, the step-by-step guide, the real cases, the victims' money, and how a case is proven — stands on the Your Legal Rights and Your Case page.)
- ☐ Report made, and the number saved. Police report filed; the report number written at the top of your log and on your case file's first page.
- ☐ Evidence logged and backed up. Your dated log is current, and a second copy of it — and of your photos and papers — lives somewhere safe that only you control.
- ☐ Medical records requested — if you were harmed. Every visit, every bill, in writing, kept with the case file. (If you were not harmed, this one is already done.)
- ☐ Documents filled out, with their dates. Each form that fits your situation — FTC, FCC, CPSC, Attorney General — filed, with the date you filed it written beside its name in your log.
- ☐ Compensation application sent. Your state Crime Victim Compensation application is in — before your state's deadline, not after. Applying is free.
- ☐ The legal help call made. Legal Aid (LawHelp.org), your state bar's referral, a victim advocate, or a law-school clinic — one real call, made and logged.
- ☐ Court dates in the calendar. Every date, written in two places, with what you must bring written beside it.
- ☐ Copies filed in your own vault. Originals in one safe place, copies in the case file, and nothing important existing in only one copy anywhere.
The proof rule: suspicion opens doors; documented patterns win cases. Keep the original, file copies, and keep going — nothing closed.
Be Findable — the blank safety sheet and plan
Print this blank sheet and fill it in by hand — or fill it in on a device, on the Be Findable page, where it saves on that device and prints already filled. Either way: print it twice. One copy for your person, one that stays home. Names, numbers, and facts only — never a password, never a card number.

- If I miss: 1) Call me. 2) Call my contacts, in the order above. 3) Call the police — and hand them this sheet.

When it happens
- My person calls me.
- My person calls my contacts, in the order above.
- My person calls the police — and hands them this sheet.
- If I am the one in trouble and I get one moment: 911, Emergency SOS, or the code word.
Legal situations — who to call, what documents to bring
Print this sheet and keep it at the front of your case file. Each row is one situation: the number or door to call, and the documents to have in hand when you call, file, or stand in court. The full teaching stands on Your Legal Rights — the documents by situation, the court lists, and the directory this sheet is drawn from. Rule for every row: bring the ORIGINALS, and two copies. Never edit an original.

Every number on this sheet was checked against its agency's official source when this app was built. If a number ever fails, take the number from the agency's official website — never from an advertisement or a search listing. Doors marked choose your own location belong to your own state; your state's official site holds your number. The full directory stands on Your Legal Rights.
Domestic violence wallet cards
Cut along the lines. Leave these in restrooms and fitting rooms, where a person is alone with their phone and their thoughts. The front stays quiet; her name rides small on the back. The full teaching stands on Domestic Violence — A Survivor's Path.

Purple ribbon sheet — domestic violence awareness
The purple ribbon is the domestic violence awareness symbol, and October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Print this sheet, cut the ribbons, and wear or hand them out. Pair every ribbon with a wallet card and the helper's three sentences: "I believe you. It is not your fault. Here is help — you can take it when you are ready, and I will still be here."
How to make them: cut a length of purple ribbon about six inches long, fold it into a loop with the ends crossed, and pin it at the cross. Wear it on your chest, on a bag, or on a door. Hand the wallet card with it — the ribbon starts the conversation, and the card carries the number.

Domestic violence flyer — for bulletin boards
Domestic violence is a pattern of control — not a bad temper, not a marriage problem, not a faith failure. Love does not do this. It is not your fault.

Domestic violence information and resources packet
What domestic violence is. A pattern of control: physical, sexual, emotional, financial, isolation, threats, and tech abuse — trackers, phone control, hidden cameras. A bad temper passes; control stays and grows. The calm after an explosion is part of the pattern, not proof of change. It is not your fault. It is not a marriage problem or a faith failure.
The helper's three sentences. Say these, exactly: "I believe you. It is not your fault. Here is help — you can take it when you are ready, and I will still be here." Then hand them the card, and let them choose.

Andrew's Office — one page for men who have no help
This door stands in Andrew's name, because he is building shelter for men who have no help, and because what a person does now, when no one is watching, is the real measure. The full page stands at Andrew's Office.
A bed tonight, in order:
- Call 2-1-1 and say: "I need a safe place tonight." Free, day and night — they hold the live shelter bed list for your own place.
- Ask about rescue missions, Salvation Army shelters, Gospel Rescue missions, and church shelters near you. Many take a man with no ID and no money — that is what they are for.
- Bring what you own in one bag. Keep your medicines with you, and any papers — ID, discharge papers, a birth certificate — on your body, not in the bag.
- If the beds are full: get on the waiting lists, ask about overflow shelters and warming or cooling centers, and use the public library in the morning — the library is the daylight door. A hospital emergency room waiting room is not a bed; it is a door for a real medical need only.
- Keep your phone charged wherever you are welcome — the shelter, the library, a day program. A charged phone is how a bed finds you back.
The numbers: a bed and local help — 2-1-1. Addiction treatment — SAMHSA National Helpline, 1-800-662-4357 (free, confidential, day and night, in English and Spanish), and FindTreatment.gov. Being hurt at home — National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-7233 — men's calls are taken seriously. A crisis of any kind — call or text 988. In danger now — 911.
Asking for help is not weakness. It is the strategy that works.
Building shelter for men instead? The petitions and funding parts stand on Andrew's Office, and the printable petition sheet stands right below this one: Petition sheet — Men's Shelters in New York. The documents checklist that brings the shelter to reality stands just past the petition sheet: Documents + funding checklist — bringing a men's shelter to reality.
Petition sheet — Men's Shelters in New York
We, the undersigned, support creating a men's shelter in ____________________, and we ask the body that decides it to fund and allow it.

Documents + funding checklist — bringing a men's shelter to reality
Every paper that turns a men's shelter from an idea into a real organization, in working order. Print it and tick each box as the document exists; the official door for each stands in small type under its name. (The full teaching stands at Andrew's Office — Part 8, The documents.)
Formation
- ☐ Certificate of Incorporation
Door: New York Department of State, Division of Corporations — dos.ny.gov. Proves the organization exists in law. - ☐ Bylaws
Door: written by the organization and adopted by its board. Proves the organization can govern itself. - ☐ EIN
Door: the IRS, at IRS.gov — free, issued at once. Proves the organization can bank, hire, and be recognized. - ☐ Board of directors list + conflict-of-interest policy
Door: the organization's own records, kept current. Proves real people stand behind the work. - ☐ 501(c)(3) application — IRS Form 1023 or 1023-EZ
Door: the IRS, filed through Pay.gov. The first step toward the determination letter. - ☐ IRS determination letter
Door: sent by the IRS on approval — keep the original safe and copy it for every funder. The key that unlocks most grants. - ☐ Charities Bureau registration — Form CHAR410
Door: New York Attorney General's Charities Bureau — filed before asking for donations in New York.
Funding-Ready
- ☐ State prequalification — document vault complete
Door: the state grants system (the Grants Gateway prequalification, now in the Statewide Financial System). Vault: certificate of incorporation, IRS determination letter, most recent Form 990, audit or financial review, Charities Bureau filing, board of directors profile. - ☐ SAM.gov registration + UEI
Door: SAM.gov — free, renewed every year. Proves the federal government can find and pay the organization. - ☐ Written budget
Door: the organization's own paper — a startup budget and a first-year operating budget, in numbers. - ☐ Petition + community support letters
Door: gathered in the community and filed with the funding papers — signatures are funding evidence.
Program & Site
- ☐ Program plan
Door: the organization's own paper — who is served, how many beds, house rules, staffing, safety. - ☐ Site papers
Door: the landlord for the lease or letter of intent; the city buildings door for zoning and the Certificate of Occupancy — the zoning answer in writing before any lease is signed. - ☐ Insurance
Door: an insurance broker who works with shelters — liability cover for the building and the work; quotes inside the startup budget. - ☐ Operating policies
Door: the organization's own paper — admissions, overnight safety, and grievance, written down.
The order: papers before money, money before doors open. And when the stack is ready, a lawyer — legal aid or a law-school clinic — checks it, because this checklist does not replace one.
Community Flyers — print, post, and hand out
Eight flyers for bulletin boards, library counters, shelters, salons, ministries, and helping hands. Each flyer prints on its own letter-size page, in black and white as well as in color. Post them where people wait, and hand them to anyone who needs a door.

Your Identity Was Taken? Protect Your Papers.
The Identity page walks you through it in order: who to contact first — the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov or 1-877-438-4338, your local police, and the credit bureaus — how to keep a dated evidence log, and how a credit freeze protects you.
My Vault is your private records place. It lives only on your own device, locked with your own code and recovery words. Keep copies of your ID, your case numbers, and your letters there, where only you can open them. This app keeps no copy of anything you put in your vault.

Identity Stolen? Tell Every Place — With One Button.
When your identity is taken, every place that holds your name must be told: your banks, your card companies, and the official doors. Doing that one call at a time, while you are hurting, is how places get missed.
Inside My Vault, the Notify Everyone button builds your notice and your list of every place on it, then walks you through telling them one door at a time — and keeps track of which places you have told, right inside your vault, on your own device.
Door: ministerdestinymorgan.com/vault.html — the My Vault page. Open your vault, and press Notify Everyone.

Grants Help — Free, and the Computer Helps You Fill It In
Never pay to apply for a grant. Applying is always free. Anyone who charges you a fee to apply is running a scam.
The Grants Helper walks with you, one question at a time. Tell it your situation, and the computer helps you fill in the application and build your packet, on your own device — for health, business, personal, disability, and emergency help, and for scholarships. No ID yet? The same page teaches the free path to getting your documents back.
