Story
A mom and her three kids really need help right now. They’ve been through a lot. For years, the mom was in a bad, abusive relationship with the younger child’s dad. The kids saw and heard the fighting, and were subjected to the ongoing domestic violence in the home.
The mom finally decided to get out and keep her kids safe. She’s working with the department on a safety plan, but when she did that, the dad got mad and shut off the power in the house because the bills were in his name.
The mom is now moving to a new place with her kids, and she spent all her money just to get them in—paying for first month, last month, and the deposit. Now, she has no money left to turn the utilities back on.
She needs help to get the lights back on so she can take care of her kids and give them the basics they need.
