Story
Mom is currently living with three kids in the home, and two kids have been placed in foster care. Dad was the main provider and has been incarcerated for the past several months. Dad will not be released anytime soon. Mom is receiving SNAP benefits and is getting financial assistance from family for mainly mortgage, utilities, food, and other items. Mom has been looking for employment for the past few months but has been unsuccessful. Mom went to two different organizations that provide clothing. However, the organizations did not have anything clothing/socks for the 14- and 10-year-old boys. I am requesting a $130 gift card to assist the boys in buying summer clothes and socks. The past several months, the family has been going through many difficult challenges, both emotionally and financially. Receiving this gift card will assist the boys in focusing on something exciting and feeling better about themselves, given their current difficult family situation.
