Story

2 Children 2 Adults

I have a family where the mom was recently out of work due to her 7 month old sustaining a femur injury so the family fell behind on rent. Mom just recently went back to work but hasn't got her 1st paycheck since going back or NYS Disability while she was out on leave. The family also relies on Uber for transportation because the Medicab never shows up to transport them to medical appts and the mom will not bring her 2 small children on a public bus transportation. As the family is playing catch up on bills and provisions for the children, they are also in need of wipes, size 3 diapers, and 3T pull ups.

This is family of a mom, dad, 3 year old female child, and a 7 month old female child.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This resilient Douglas County family is working hard to rebuild stability after the father lost his job and housing due to medical challenges. Now living in a family shelter in Aurora, the mother is employed full-time, while the father is actively job searching, attending fatherhood classes, and caring for their children.

They remain connected to Douglas County through work and community ties. Gas cards would help them stay mobile for work, housing searches, and meaningful family outings during this transitional time.
