Story
I am requesting financial assistance on behalf of my 53 year old client who rented a room in a home prior to the wildfires. That house burned down during the wildfires, leaving my client without his possessions and a steady place to stay. After he was displaced, my client rotated between spending a night with a friend and using their shower and staying in 24/7 businesses to stay out of the elements until we were able to get him into an Airbnb in early March. This stay was instrumental in giving him a period of stability to allow him to make plans for moving forward. However, his stay just ended and he is staying with a friend for the next two weeks as we work to secure him another stay. The client is actively looking for a job and a new place to call home. With all of this in mind, my client is in need of new work tools, and money for food and toiletries. If the client received this disaster relief grant, my client would use the funds towards purchasing new work tools, food and toiletries. If any money was left over, and my client secured a lease, he would use the remaining funds towards the security deposit. Thank you for considering my client for this grant. It would truly make a different in the progression of his recovery.
