Story
I’m reaching out on behalf of a single mother and her toddler who are currently being supported through the Maternal and Child Health Program at the Douglas County Health Department. This family recently experienced a medical emergency that required the toddler to be hospitalized unexpectedly and undergo surgery. Due to this crisis, the mother was unable to work for approximately 2 weeks and is now facing significant financial hardship. We are reaching out to request gift cards for food and gas to help relieve some of the immediate burden she is facing. Any support you can provide would go a long way in helping this family stabilize during a very difficult time. Thank you so much for considering this request and for your continued dedication to supporting families in our community.
