A single mom with 2 children, ages 5 and 1 has experienced some unexpected financial expenses and is currently behind on her rent. The mom is employed working 2 jobs, but does not get any other support such as child support or food stamps to help. She has to pay for daycare in order to be able to work. In addition, she had an aunt to die unexpectedly and this caused further financial strain as she had to take off work. She is asking for $1000 to pay for her rent. She is a Christian mom. Any assistance would be sincerely appreciated.

Family consists of a mother and her 3 sons, ages 12, 10, and 6. Mother recently became homeless at the end of May. She sent her children to stay with relatives for the summer while she searched for housing. The Department was able to help secure housing for her with a move-in date of July 16. The children will return to the mother at the end of July. The mother is requesting assistance in purchasing 2 twin mattresses for her two youngest sons' bunk beds and a full mattress for her oldest son. Mother is not financially capable of purchasing these items, as she receives little support from the children's fathers. The Department has committed to buying the full mattress, so the 2 twin mattresses are what we need. Please consider blessing this family to help promote the children's safety and well-being.

This family is requesting assistance in purchasing 3-4 cans of formula(Enfamil NeuroPro Enfacare-blue can) for their infant daughter.

The family also consists of 3 other children the parents provide for financially. Formula for their infant would help to ensure her growth and wellbeing.
