This family has recently been rehoused by Impact Avenues. They have faced many barriers this past year, including legal issues, domestic violence, loss of benefits & transportation, and more. This parent has been working hard to rebuild and put these struggles behind her. Her legal battles are completed, she's restored her benefits/income, and she's even going back to school and beginning employment.
A washer/dryer give this family additional support as they begin this fresh start. It will increase her & her kiddos access to clean clothes, towels, blankets, etc. Also, with the cost of laundromats increasing, having a washer/dryer in-unit could save her hundreds of dollars a year. Funds that she will then be able to utilize for their housing and other needs. They are currently on a fixed income until she is able to begin working, and purchasing these appliances herself is not affordable or sustainable.
