Story
I am working with a single-mom survivor of domestic violence. She has 3 children- ages 16, 14 and 6. The mother lost her job back in September in the healthcare field and has been unable to gain meaningful employment since then. She had unemployment which has now ended. She receives benefits (food stamps/cash assistance) but not much. Her power was cut off last week and their food spoiled. This family is in immediate need of assistance. The mother is exasperated and overwhelmed from calling agencies to assist. She is to the point where she feels like she needs to put her kids in foster care so that their basic needs are at least met. She needs $494.35 to turn her power back on. She is also in need of immediate food assistance (non-perishable) for her and her 3 kids. Please help if you can.
