Story
We have a student who is getting close to graduation. For many years he has been his ailing mother's sole caretaker. She was disabled and bedridden. They were living on her disability benefits. In the last couple of weeks he missed school and his grades dropped. Following a home visit, we learned that his mother had passed away on Mother’s Day – she had a heart attack. The trailer the student lived in with his mom will stay with him, but it is in very bad shape. He has no other adults in his life right now. A team from the school would like to seal and paint his trailer this summer to prevent more of the siding from rotting away. They are hoping for a Lowe’s or Home Depot gift card to purchase caulking and all-weather exterior paint and possibly paint supplies. Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
