Story
The mother of three children recently reached out to the Children's Division for assistance with her bills. Dad was recently incarcerated, and due to this incident, Mom lost her job as well (no fault of her own). She has been working with the CD Prevention Worker and the Juvenile Officer and has never asked for help from them before. Mom was referred to several programs, including EDGE through Community Partnership, CCC YBHL, EMAA, the School, and food pantries in Bollinger County. Mom has checked with Catholic Charities, the Salvation Army, EMAA, and Community Partnership, all of which have stated that they are currently out of funding to help. Mom has found a new job that pays better than any other she has ever had. It currently looks like Dad will be incarcerated for several years. The family is at risk of losing both their lot and the camper they are using as a primary residence. To keep this family together and mitigate any trauma caused by the father's incarceration, CD is requesting the following: $350 for lot rent and $260 for camper (house) payment (This camper is the family home and has been for a while). This will help mom and children stay together, as well as bring mom closer to being current, and will keep them from getting evicted from the lot and/or having the camper repossessed. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Prayers for the family are also welcome. Any amount you can donate will help us get closer to meeting this need.
