Request: #236965 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Houston • State: Texas • Zip Code: 77025 • County: Harris • Submitted By: TX-CPS • Lead Church: New Life Baptist Church

Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

The client is a single mother of three children who is currently experiencing financial hardship. She is seeking immediate financial assistance to pay a delinquent electricity bill totaling $291.02. She has received a disconnection notice, with services scheduled to be terminated on June 17, 2025, if payment is not received. Meeting this need will directly support the safety and stability of the household by ensuring that the electricity remains on, allowing the family to maintain a livable environment with access to lighting, refrigeration, and air conditioning—especially critical for the well-being of the young children in the home. Timely assistance with this bill will provide temporary relief as the mother continues efforts to stabilize her financial situation.

Three children, currently sleep on air mattresses. The mattresses become deflated often and the children end up on the floor by morning time, disrupting their sleep when they have to be well rested for school. Mother has made attempts to patch the holes and at times has had to purchase new air mattresses as they are more affordable than purchasing and actual mattress and bed. The mother is a single parent and is currently not working as she is trying to stabilize her children's lives. The mother is trying to enroll in school to be able to start a career and get a better job to provide for her children. The mother is looking to go back to work, but she has to find a new location as the father continues to look for the mother and there is a restraining order.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This family we have helped before. She was removed from an abusive home and moved into Covington with her children and has struggled to make ends meet. Her apartment is now asking her to leave, but she has secured a place in Clifton but needs help moving some things to her new place. She has 2 children and has a very hard medical diagnosis that has been keeping her bills high. She will need a truck or trailer to haul some things. I have this valued at $10 because it's not really a monetary need. She has also requested to have someone sit with her to help her work out her financial budget. She is really doing her hardest to take care of her family.
