Story
A father and his family had complete loss of their home in the Eaton fire. His family has been able to secure temporary housing and has been blessed by friends and family to be able to borrow home furnishings for the time being. The main concern that was mentioned to me is the need of a car. It is the basis of how much he can work. He is the main person working in his house right now. His income has decreased by half since the fires, this is mostly because his car burnt in the fire and since he is a construction worker, he has different places he needs to travel. When he is able to get a ride or borrow a car, he's able to take the jobs that his work offers him. If he was able to have reliable transportation, he would be able to go back to his regular hours of working. Once he has a car, he is eager to pick up the hours to be able to provide for his family again consistently after the fires. The most difficult part has been the loss of hours resulting in loss of pay and trying to pay monthly expenses while trying to get a downpayment together.
