Story
DHS is working with a single mother of three desperately trying to better her circumstances so her children can be reunified with her from a guardianship. The mother has been doing so well in a preventative case with DHS however she recently relapsed after a mental health break due to high demands at work and realizing for the first time she is on her own her own, navigating everything as an adult and doing it sober. She took necessary steps to ensure her children were safe first and out of the home before she relapsed and then she checked herself in to inpatient treatment. Because she is able to ensure her children's safety, this moment in time had little to no impact on her success in the case however she lost her job while inpatient caring for her mental health. She is actively looking for employment now but does not have enough saved to pay from April's rent. Any assistance with April's rent is greatly appreciated. The children have everything they need there when they can return. Having a home was a major part of the Judge's determination on whether the children could return to her or not and losing her apartment would be like starting over for her. Thank you.
