A devoted and loving aunt has stepped up to care for her sixteen-year-old nephew, who is facing legal challenges in Cleveland, Ohio. Despite the difficulties, she has embraced this responsibility with an open heart, doing everything she can to support him. However, the journey has been overwhelming.
Living on a fixed income, she also cares for her fifteen-year-old son and supports her husband, who is on SSDI. The financial strain has been immense, especially with the unexpected costs of traveling between Columbus and Cleveland for her nephew’s juvenile court hearings and mandated legal appointments. To cover these expenses, she had to use the funds she had set aside for rent.
Now, as April’s rent of $1,500—plus a $50 late fee—comes due, she finds herself in urgent need of support. She is doing her best to provide a stable, loving home for her nephew and family, but she has limited resources to lean on. Any assistance would be deeply appreciated as we continue to explore community resources to help her through this challenging time.
