Story
A kinship caregiver has experienced some hardships in the month of March, which has led to difficulty coming up with her April rent. She works as a nurse’s aide and is paid when she takes shifts. Unfortunately, in early March she became ill and found out that she had contracted COVID. As a result, she missed two weeks of work. At the end of March, her car was totaled in a hit and run and she has not had reliable transportation. As she plans her next steps in regards to a car, she has been relying on an Uber to get to and from work. This additional expense is providing an additional strain on her already reduced income. Fortunately, CareSource has been set up to get her to the therapy and medical appointments for her granddaughter and grandson. Her April rent is $841 and she could really use support after such a challenging month. Any amount towards this balance would be helpful. Thank you for all you do for kinship families!
