Story
A courageous mother who has recently escaped a devasting situation of ongoing domestic violence and severe isolation is in need of emergency rental assistance. Her husband, who was the sole provider in the household, is now incarcerated due to the abuse she endured. She fled for the safety of herself and her three children and is now in urgent need of support to stablize her family. This mother is now raising an 18-year-old son, who is a graduating senior in high school, a 13 year-old daughter, and a 2 year old son. In the aftermath of fleeing the abusive environment, she lost her hoome, vehicle, and all forms of stability. Despite these challenges, she has shown remarkable strength by securing employment and taking steps to rebuild her life. However, the burden of restarting from nothing--while also caring for three children--has left her unable to meet the full demands of her living expenses. Rental assistance would provide her with the stability needed to continue working, caring for her children, and to begin healing from the trauma they've experienced. This support would be a bridge toward long-term self-sufficiency and safety for a family who has already endured so much.
