Story
We had a family come through Abbott House today that is in dire need of rental assistance. Mom has a full-time job and is a single parent raising 3 children. She makes just a little bit over the minimum amount that would allow her to apply for assistance. Her rent alone is $949 and is due April 1st. She only has a month left on her lease and plans to try to find something more affordable moving forward. We provided her with a thorough list of resources that can potentially help her later on, but due to the rent being due next Tuesday, I do not think that will be enough time to help her right now. She broke down in tears when discussing the stress of this financial toll. I am putting that MAX amount that would be helpful, but she would be grateful for ANY amount of assistance. Thank you so much!

This mom just called to check in. Her rent is due tomorrow. I know the large amount is probably keeping the request from being met, so I just want to make sure it is understood that any amount helps. It does not have to be the full amount requested. I just want to try to take some of the financial stress off of mom's plate. Thank you!
