Help Strengthen a Bio Family
A single mother of two has recently exited a domestic violence situation, but the former partner continues to pose challenges for her and her children. Currently, she lacks both a cell phone and employment, which severely limits her ability to contact emergency services in the event of a crisis. Although she has applied for various jobs and assistance programs, the absence of a phone prevents potential employers and service providers from reaching her.
To ensure her family's safety and maintain vital communication with support resources, she urgently requires assistance in covering her phone bill. This would help her secure a means to call for help in emergencies and stay connected with necessary services.
