Story
This request is being made on behalf of a 57 y/o single mother to a 16 year old. The client was laid off wrongfully from her job back in 2023 and currently is going to court to fight it, due to this she has not been able to find a job. The client uses Calworks benefits and Cal-Fresh. She is also experiencing issues pertaining to her tenant rights in the apartment building she lives in - like excessive fees and charging her a high amount of water usage on a monthly basis on top of her rent. Due to this increase, she has exhausted her savings and is past due on the electricity bill (about $500) All of these stressors have affected her mental health and also her 15 year old daughter. Despite everything she is going through she sounds very resilient and proactive. Client is applying to jobs and she has been scheduled for job interviews - hoping she gets hired soon. This assistance will benefit the client to help her get back on her feet and alleviate the stress of the pending past due balance on the utility bill. Thank you.
