Story
The children came into the dependency system with the caregiver in October of 2024. The caregiver has had children since they entered the system. The caregiver is currently not receiving any funding. The caregiver is currently struggling financially as she is only making $18 an hr. She lost her home due to hurricane Milton and has been staying in a hotel since January with the children. The cost of the hotel is $100 per day Monday-Thursday and $150 per day Friday-Sunday. She is currently struggling to keep up with these payments and has been in danger of being kicked out of the hotel this week. She is having difficulty saving for a deposit for an apartment since she has to ensure placement at the hotel each day. The current request is $630.70 to cover the caregiver’s hotel fees for another week. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
