Story

•
5 Children 1 Adult

The family consists of a single mother with five children, ages 15 (F), 10 (F), 7 (F), 5 (M), and 4 (F). They recently moved into a new apartment in February 2025, but shortly after, the mother lost her job. Although she has since secured new employment, the family continues to face significant financial hardship. Currently, the home is unfurnished, with only a few basic kitchen items. The mother and all five children are sleeping on air mattresses with throw blankets and no sheets. The lack of proper bedding is impacting the children’s ability to get restful sleep, which in turn affects their health, well-being, and performance at school. We are requesting mattresses for the family to help provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment. This support would allow the children to rest properly, focus better in school, and improve their overall quality of life. It would also bring stability and comfort to the mother, who continues to work hard to care for her children.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Dear community, we are reaching out to support a hardworking single mother of four who has recently lost her full-time job cleaning hotel rooms due to a drop in bookings. She is now only working two days a week and actively looking for more work. Her job search has been especially difficult due to her legal status in this country, but despite the challenges, she remains hopeful. She is not currently receiving food stamps or child support, which has made it even harder to stay afloat.

She is now short on rent for July 1st, especially after falling behind on her electricity bill. Our organization is stepping in to help with groceries, and basic needs — and we are also working to help her find additional resources. We are doing everything we can to help her and her children stay in their apartment and avoid eviction.

If you’re able to support with some of the rent, no matter how small, it would make a real difference for this family during this difficult time. Thank you for your compassion and solidarity.
