Supporting Two Families Newly Out of Homelessness This Christmas
We are nominating two families who are newly transitioning out of homelessness and working hard to rebuild stability for their young children. Both families are facing financial strain this holiday season and would deeply appreciate any support. Family #1 – Young Couple Rebuilding Stability (Household of 3, Soon to Be 4) 1 Adult Female 1 Adult Male 1 two-year-old boy Mom is currently pregnant Both adults are unemployed at this time; dad is actively job searching This young couple has recently secured housing after experiencing homelessness. As they work to stabilize their lives and prepare for their growing family, they are struggling to meet basic needs. Needs: Learning toys for their 2-year-old Clothing (size 2T–3T) Any holiday support would be an incredible encouragement as they continue working toward stability and self-sufficiency. Family #2 – Single Mom Working Full-Time While Navigating Her Son’s Developmental Needs (Household of 2) 1 Adult Female 1 three-year-old boy This single mom and her son have also recently exited homelessness. She is working full time, but due to multiple appointments for her son—who is showing traits of autism and currently undergoing evaluation—she has had to miss work without enough PTO to cover the time. As a result, her income has decreased, and she is struggling to keep up with monthly bills. Needs: Learning toys that support development Clothing (size 4T) This family would greatly benefit from a little extra support to help them experience a joyful and meaningful holiday season. If you or your organization are looking for ways to make a real impact this Christmas, supporting one or both of these families would provide comfort, dignity, and hope during a crucial time in their lives.$0.00 of $600.00
