Story

•
1 Child

We are currently working with a 15-year-old boy and his mother who, in the past few months, have experienced many changes within their living environment. This family was referred to us through the Office of Refugee Resettlement since the child was an unaccompanied minor that was recently reunified with his mom. The mom's previous partner was their main financial source, but they are no longer together due to his emotional abusive behavior toward her and her teenage son. The mom has shown resilience and perseverance throughout this process and is now working full-time. She is making just enough to rent out a room in an apartment, but is not yet making enough to rent the entire apartment on her own. The child and mother are currently sharing a queen-sized bed since the mom cannot currently afford to purchase an additional bed for her son. However, they have both expressed a desire for the teenage boy to have his own bed, especially as he continues to grow as a teenager. Your collaboration in serving this family would be so impactful, especially considering all the challenges and pain they have been through! Thank you in advance for your consideration and support!

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.
