Story
A mother in urgent need is staying at the Welcome Inn with her three young children, facing the risk of losing shelter tomorrow morning. Two weeks ago, she was unexpectedly discharged from a shelter and has struggled to find stable housing since. She managed to pay for two weeks at the hotel, but now options have run out. The cost for one more week is $280, and while Children’s Division has requested crisis funding, delays are impacting support.
She has been accepted into Amethyst Place for stable housing, but no units are available yet. With no family support, this mother and her children are vulnerable in the heat.
Despite overcoming domestic violence and substance abuse, she fights tirelessly for her children, especially one who needs extra care due to autism.
All she needs now is a safe place to sleep. A hotel stay of $280 for a week, or even a few days, could provide crucial stability while waiting for housing. This support would give her children a roof over their heads and buy our team the time needed to secure long-term options.
