Story
This hardworking mother is doing her best to care for her three children, but recent challenges have made it difficult for her to meet their basic needs. The requested resources for this single mother with three children include summer clothes, shoes, hygiene items (soap/body wash, shampoo, conditioner), and gas cards. For the children, her oldest son needs size 10 men’s shoes, a size 36 belt, black or white sneakers, and summer clothes. Her daughter requires size 14-16 clothes, size 6 shoes, black or white shoes for school (any type), and summer clothes. Her youngest son is in need of size 8 boys’ clothes, size 1 shoes, black or white sneakers, and summer clothes. This mother, who is working full-time, is currently facing significant financial strain. She recently lost her housing and is struggling to secure affordable housing. As a result, she must drive further to get to work and to take her children to school, creating additional challenges in affording gas. She has been unable to cover extra expenses, including those for clothing and hygiene items. Given her situation, the mother would greatly benefit from the requested resources. Providing these items would allow her to reallocate her limited funds toward more pressing needs, such as finding stable housing.
