Helping One of Our Own
We’d like to share the story of one of our dedicated Healthy Start home visitors who recently experienced an unexpected hardship. As part of her role, she uses her vehicle to travel to clients’ homes, providing vital services and support to families in our community.
During a recent day of home visits, her car overheated and left her stranded on the road. Thankfully, another staff member quickly stepped in to assist, picking her up and helping her complete the rest of her scheduled visits. Her car was later towed to a mechanic, where it was determined that the water pump and hoses needed to be replaced. The total cost for the repairs came to $450.
She was able to pay $150 toward the repairs, but she is still in need of $300 to get her car back on the road. Her vehicle is essential to fulfilling her job responsibilities and maintaining her livelihood, as her program contract requires reliable transportation for home visiting.
Any amount of support would go a long way in helping her continue her important work with Healthy Start families. Thank you for considering a contribution or simply sharing this story with others who may be able to help.
