Story
I have been working with a single mom for a while now and recently she found out that she is pregnant. This pregnancy is extremely important to her as she had a miscarriage last year. This pregnancy has also caused her severe sickness where she has had to take extensive time off from work due to being weak. She's had to have daily blood transfusions on top of this as well as caring for a 3-year-old by herself. She's run into financial issues this past year due to domestic violence from her former partner and her child's father onto her. She's had to move to a different residence, in part, because of this. She's attempted to reach out to different programs within the community to help with rental assistance. She makes too much money to qualify for Emergency Assistance and the county has assisted a few times with rent this past year. She's reached out to local churches and her family for help during this time. This mom is trying to get back on her feet and has a good plan moving forward as she is addressing her physical health during this pregnancy. Rental help and gas assistance will ensure that they are able to keep her apartment and also get her child to and from daycare as well as get her to and from her daily blood transfusions. She has appreciated this help so much!
