Story
A mother and her children are fleeing a domestic violence situation, and his home was the home they were living in but the utilities are in her name. She has notified the Evergy and KCMO water that she is not living there anymore. She needs $210 for apartment admin fees and she needs to bring the electric and water current so they can transfer to her at the new place. She has moved hotels twice to stay away from her abuser, and she is going to start counseling services once she is stable in her living arrangement.
She is helping herself and needs a little more help, not a handout, but a hand up. Children's Division saw the family in a hotel yesterday and they have gone to shelters for food. The mother has a stable job and if she can get the help with these needs, she will be on her way to financial independence and not reliant on her abuser for shelter.
