Story
A single mom of six children ages ranging from 3-13 years of age, including a 4-year-old with autism with special needs urgently needs housing. Mom is trying to protect her children from bio dad who has a history of domestic violence. Mom has fallen behind on her rent and is now ordered to move out Wed, April 30th. She has been diligently working on finding a new home and because of the size of her family she is unable to secure low income, federally funded housing due to lack of availability. She is on several waiting lists, including Section 8 but nothing is currently available. Her credit was ruined by her ex-husband, therefore, she has been unable to pass a credit check with other apartment/housing options. She has filled out numerous applications for transitional housing for singles moms and children. She was able to find an apartment in the children's current school district (to not disrupt children's day to day) that doesn't require a credit check but does require $1500 security deposit. She is able to come up with $500 on her own and she just started a job today to pay for her rent month to month. I am requesting $1000 to make up the $1500 in order for this family to not be homeless after April 30th. Any amount for funds will be greatly appreciated and we will continue to work to secure the remainder of the $1000 needed. Thank you so much.
