This family is in need of some support for their housing. There is a single caregiver and a youth in the home. The youth recently started school and is doing very well. The caregiver recently started a new job which allows them to be more available and take better care of their child. The caregiver has been able to stay on top of their mortgage, but this past month had some major setbacks. The family vehicle needed some major repairs, preventing the caregiver from working their full hours. The caregiver has put money into the vehicle and has been able to return to work, after some expensive repairs and lost wages.

This money would help them get caught up and not fall behind with their basic needs. This caregiver is very resourceful and resilient.

The child would have lots of fun outdoors on his very own bike.
