Story
I just began working with a mother of a child under the age of 1, who was a DV victim. In the first couple weeks of working with this mother, her home went from a two income home to a single income home; however an accident with her vehicle left her without transportation, the ability to get her child to childcare and then this mom lost her job due to this series of events. Her landlord has given her a 3 day eviction notice. We are in the process of preparing her for having to utilize shelters, maybe getting her into a hotel for a period or finding her a room to rent. Mom is having a yard sale in the next couple days in order to get rid of things and raise money for some kind of housing. Mom and baby are in need of funds to get shelter for enough time for mom to get another job.
This mother is a sweet woman in her early thirties, and the baby is a beautiful little girl whom mom has taken good care of.
Mom needs:
- Funds for a place to live with her child.
- A room to rent under $800/month.
If anyone is able to step up and help this mother secure some kind of housing/shelter, it will help keep her sweet little girl out of foster care. I will be working with mom on finding employment, foster care for her elderly dog and budgeting once this emergency is handled. Thank you.
