Story
I am seeking support for a single mother in our community that is experiencing significant financial hardship. She suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a chronic genetic condition that has caused her to become wheelchair-bound and in daily pain. She requires a double knee replacement in order to possibly be able to walk again in the future. Recently, there has been a lapse in her government benefits, and she is actively working with a team of professionals to resolve this issue. In the meantime, the father of her 8-year-old son is withholding court-ordered child support payments in an act of control over her, leaving her with very limited resources and a significant amount of emotional burden and stress.
I am requesting a $200 Walmart gift card to help her purchase groceries and other necessities for herself and her 8-year-old son. Walmart is her preferred store to shop at due to the low prices offered. In addition, I am also requesting a $100 King Soopers gift card for fuel expenses. Access to gas is essential so that she can transport her child to medical and therapeutic appointments, as well as school and other activities.
The bond between this mother and her son is very evident. To the mother, her son means absolutely everything. I have no doubt that she will use these gift cards wisely and in the best interest of her son.
Any support during this difficult time would make a meaningful difference for this family. Thank you!
