I am writing in behalf of my client is a single mother of 3 who recently experienced a DV incident, leaving her in a state of crisis. With the assistance of a navigator, she sought immediate help and was able to secure temporary transportation through PADV. Unfortunately, the transportation attempts were unsuccessful as the Uber drivers refused to transport her due to the absence of car seats for her children. The client was given a 24-hour window to reach a shelter. However, due to the transportation issues, she was unable to make it within the given time frame. The following day, she was informed that the shelter spot had been taken. She spent the next three days trying to secure another spot without success.

In the meantime, the client contacted her landlord, who changed the locks to ensure her safety and has also lowered the rent to help client. She has also applied for additional public assistance, including TANF and Cash Assistance, and currently awaiting approval. The client has been a victim of financial abuse which has left her in a vulnerable financial state. She recently discovered that her ex-partner did not pay the light bill, resulting in an outstanding balance of $209. The electricity is scheduled for disconnection on May 9th, 2025. The client is urgently seeking assistance to cover the light bill to prevent disconnection. This support is crucial for her and her children as they navigate this challenging period and work towards stability and safety.

We are requesting assistance in purchasing specialized shoes for a six-year-old child currently in foster care. This child was born with club feet and recently underwent surgery on her legs. She has just had her casts removed and now wears leg braces to support her healing and mobility.

Due to the braces, she requires comfortable, practical shoes that are easy for her foster parents to put on and will not hinder her recovery. She currently wears a child size 12, though a slightly larger size may be needed to accommodate her braces. She enjoys light-up shoes, but most importantly, the shoes must provide comfort, stability, and ease of use. She cannot stomp or place excessive pressure on her feet at this time.

We are seeking either: • A pair of light-up shoes suitable for braces, or • A gift card to allow the foster family to purchase appropriate footwear.

What will happen when this need is met: When this need is met, the child will have access to shoes that support her mobility, comfort, and healing. Proper footwear will help prevent further injury or discomfort as she adjusts to walking with braces. It will also make daily activities easier for both her and her foster parents, reducing stress and promoting her independence and confidence as she recovers.
