So this grandmother has been in a shelter with her grandmother for almost 1year. Grandmother was approved for an housing program , Housing Key! This provision provided her with the approval for a 2 bedroom townhouse. She has absolutely nothing to go in the home. The 16 yr old child is an excellent student and has not allowed these challenges to stop her from excelling in school. They assistance will allow them to have a fresh restart and enjoy her junior year of high school. Grandmother is so grateful to be out of the shelter and ready for her new home.

As a result of this, a large portion of her dry goods have been thrown away due to the mice. She is on a fixed income but was able to pay for the exterminator to come and begin the process. However, she is in need of metal or glass food storage containers and groceries to replenish what she had to throw away. Thank you in advance. Amazon $30 for a set of 4 (she needs 3 sets)
