Story
A family of seven is currently facing significant challenges. The father, who was the primary provider, was recently detained by immigration authorities, leaving the mother to care for their five children alone. She is taking on small jobs, but it has been difficult as three of the children are not yet in school, and they lack transportation. Additionally, the mother does not have a support network in the area. Financial strain has been substantial, and the family is awaiting the father's court date at the end of the month to determine their next steps. They do not receive any form of assistance and are currently residing in a motel. The mother is seeking help to cover at least one week’s rent. She has been visiting food pantries but has been unable to secure any meat for the family. The two older children who are in school are in need of shoes as their current pairs no longer fit (Male size 10Y / Female size 11Y/ Female Adult Size 8). The mother appreciates any assistance that can be provided, understanding that not all needs may be met.
