A Young Mother's Journey Toward Stability and Hope
M. Anderson is a determined young single mother who is doing everything she can to create a better life for her one-year-old son. Right now, she and her baby are living in her car, but that hasn’t stopped her from taking steps forward. She was recently approved for the Early Learning Coalition (ELC) program, which will enable her son to attend daycare while she searches for employment.
M. Anderson is actively seeking employment and needs clothing for interviews. She wears a size large in tops and a size 14 in pants. Her son, who wears size 4T and up, is also in need of clothes to keep him comfortable and safe during this challenging time. His diaper size is 6 and 7. While waiting for shelter placement—which has a long waitlist—she recently purchased a tent as a temporary solution. She is also in need of a gas card to help her get to job interviews, daycare, and housing appointments.
M. Anderson isn’t asking for much. She is working hard to stand on her own two feet, and any support—whether clothing, a gas card, or simply encouragement—can make a real difference for her and her son. Let’s come together to support this mother as she continues her journey toward stability and independence.
