A family of four, including three children, is in urgent need of monetary assistance to secure a small trailer home, as they are currently facing economic hardship and have also experienced abuse. Having been staying with relatives, their situation is precarious, and without the necessary funds for rent or a deposit, they risk being forced to relocate to Mexico, which would further destabilize their lives. Meeting this need for shelter would provide the family with a safe and stable environment, allowing them to rebuild their lives, protect their children from further trauma, and ultimately prevent homelessness in Texas, where they have limited support.
