My client is going through an incredibly difficult time. She recently lost her cousin; she was the only family the deceased had. He died due to gun violence. As the next of kin, she took on the responsibility of covering his funeral expenses, which has left her financially overwhelmed. She is now struggling to keep up with her own basic needs. Her light bill is past due and scheduled for disconnection by June 4th. On top of that, she is having a hard time putting food on the table for her three children. She lives with sickle cell disease and relies on disability income, which is simply not enough to cover these unexpected expenses and support her family. Despite her health challenges, she has done everything she can to keep going, but right now, she needs help.

This request is to help a family in dire need. The family has been living in an apartment with extended family and the apartment complex is now requesting that the family leave as they feel that the family was there without permission. The family has two children, a 1 year old and a 4 year old. The family is in need of a temporary place to stay so that the children will have their needs of shelter met. I am requesting for at least 2 nights of a hotel stay to give myself and the family more time to figure out something longer term. A nearby motel for the family would be American Inn. I have checked and as of now they have rooms available. For the two nights the rate given to me was $174.92. I am requesting $200 to be cautious.

A kinship home is hoping for financial assistance with summer camp for the youth in her care. This placement is a single mom of 4 and is currently the placement home for her 15-year-old nephew. She is needing the children in summer programs to keep them safe and busy while she continues to work and balances having 5 children out of school for the summer. There is an available spot for this youth at the Boys and Girls Club this summer but comes with a coverage fee that we are hoping to get covered. Providing this will help to take the stress off of thing single mom this summer and will help to keep this teen involved in appropriate summer activities.

We have a family who is on the verge of homelessness and is late on their rent. It would be helpful to get her late bill covered and would relieve a lot of stress on the child.

I have a single mother whose phone has been shut off. Her daughter suffers from seizures and mom utilizes her phone to get ahold of nurses when she has concerns, to make appointments and to schedule Medicaid transportation for those appointments. Once this need is met this will allow mother to continue to be able to contact her doctor with any other concerns and be able to schedule follow up visits for her daughter.
