Story
We are requesting support for a 22-year-old young mother with three children under the age of 5 (4 yrs, 3 yrs, 7 mo) who is facing multiple challenges and is in urgent need of assistance. She is currently employed at a daycare where her children also attend. Unfortunately, the daycare will be closing soon, resulting in the loss of both her job and childcare. She has a past-due balance of over $700 at a previous daycare center, making it difficult to find new affordable childcare options.
Additionally, she is unable to afford basic needs, including laundry services, diapers, and food. She is currently pending food stamp benefits, which have been delayed due to unresolved child support issues with the fathers of her children. She has ongoing issues with one of the fathers and is preparing to move out. He has refused to provide financial support, and the timeline for when child support will begin is uncertain.
This young mother is doing her best to provide for her children during this difficult time. We are asking for $500 in financial assistance to help her meet immediate needs such as food, rent, diapers, and other basic living expenses.
