A family at Castleberry Elementary school reached out to the school counselors because they are needing help with rent assistance and car repairs. The single mom of two children, moved to the Castleberry ISD area in April of 2023. Mom had a job and was able to get a place for her and the children to live. The only car the family has started having mechanical issues, including no AC, which would not provide consistent transportation to and from the mom's job. The family is also behind on their electric bill in which they just received a notice that it would be cut off if not paid. Mom also was having trouble getting enough hours at her place of employment to help pay the bills. Currently, mom is two months behind on rent and the landlord is threatening eviction. She is trying to pay a little at a time to keep from getting evicted but can't get enough to get caught up. She is looking for other jobs that can help her get more hours, but currently her work visa will expire at the end of September and she doesn't have the funds to afford to renew it, which will cause her to have an even more difficult time finding employment. Mom is worried about her kids not having a place to live. She is currently working on getting on food stamps and has visited local food banks so her kids have food. Mom is willing to take on a second job and do what she needs to do to get back on her feet for not only herself, but for her kids as well.
