Story
A couple serves as guardians to a middle school boy. Due to unforeseen medical conditions, the male guardian has been hospitalized and is undergoing treatment. He was the primary provider, and now the increasing medical expenses have put a strain on the family. His wife initially faced challenges in applying for medical insurance but has finally managed to schedule an appointment for an insurance consultation. The family intends to apply for benefits; however, this process will take time, and as a result of the rising medical costs, their food supply has become limited. They are seeking assistance in the form of a grocery gift card to help alleviate some of their financial stress. While they are enrolled in the backpack program, the canned food provided is insufficient. The family also utilizes food pantries when transportation allows. Should assistance be granted, it would enable them to purchase food that meets their needs.
