Help Reunify a Bio Family
I have a mom who just lost her boyfriend. She is struggling financially and trying to clean out the house. Her boyfriend would collect everything and store it in the house. The house is completely full of junk. Due to all the expenses, she is unable to clean out the house. She is needing a large dumpster to clean it out. She is also struggling to do laundry as she has no washer and dryer. She had asked us if we could help her by taking her to the laundry mat to do her laundry, but she does not have the money. If there is any way you could help this mom so that she can do laundry and get a dumpster so that she can clean out the house, we would greatly appreciate it.
