Story

•
3 Children 2 Adults

I'm making a request on behalf of an 18-year old mom who attends our YoungLives program. She has a daughter and a son, and also cares for her little sister. She and her children's father are both working and have secured their own apartment, that they've been living in since early March. They're working hard to pay their car payment, car insurance, rent and other bills. They're learning to manage a budget, but some months are short on money for all their bills. Their rent is $1,225 a month, and they have managed to pay the majority, but they are short $295.

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.
