Single Mom of 4 Behind on Rent

I'm working with a dedicated single mother of four energetic young boys who's encountered a rough patch in keeping up with her rent. An unforeseen expense has created a ripple effect, making it challenging for her to bridge the gap in her rent payments. She's been shouldering this burden on her own without any assistance. Currently, a total of $3,000 is owed, which includes late fees that have accrued over time. In this trying situation, any support, no matter the amount, would significantly alleviate the stress this family is enduring. Your contribution can make a meaningful difference in their lives. Thank you.

Prevent Disconnection for a Family of 4

I'm assisting a family of four that is struggling financially. The mother lost her job due to the indefinite closure of her workplace and hasn't received her last three weeks' wages. She's fighting for her unpaid wages while job hunting. This has put them in a tight financial situation, especially concerning their Centerpoint Energy bill. With a $1,379.64 balance and a disconnection notice, any contribution would prevent their utilities from being disconnected. Your support would make a significant difference for them.

Car Payment

Working with a single mother who recently had to miss work due to a medical emergency. She thankfully is okay and was able to recover quickly. With her current job, she did not receive any paid time off - this has caused her to be behind on money for the month. All of her paychecks went to rent and bills. She is behind on her car payment for August. She owes 664.98. Anything helps take this burden off of her.

Storage Unit Fee

I am working with a family who can not afford to pay for their storage unit. They live paycheck to paycheck and are transitioning into a new home that had some unexpected costs. Each month is $188- they owe for July and hoping to have some help for August too. There is also a late fee that was added on for missing their July payment. Since they are behind on payment their unit is eligible for auction- it will be scheduled in the next few days. Anything Helps. Thank you! Thank you for the donation! She is still in need of $422 since they do have late fees now.

WATER BILL

I am working with a single mom who was charged a large amount last year on her water bill. It seems something was broken on her meter and the water company refused to work with her on the bill. She continues to make a payment on it but barely makes a dent. This has been a huge burden on her and she feels as if it will never go away. Anything helps take some of the stress off her. Thank you!

Rent Help for Working Mom

I am working with a mom who is supporting herself, her partner and her child. She has fallen behind on rent and is now facing a late fee on top of back rent for the month of July. Her landlord has sent her a notice letter that without this payment by July 10th she will be facing evection. She recently moved to Scott County and was able to make ends meet to secure this housing, losing it would be a huge set back and would not only affect herself and her partner but her child as well. Anything helps as the clock is now ticking and she is feeling the weight of this upcoming payment. Rent needed: 2,124.36.
