When checking with a past recipient
of C4$, a homeless man, he informed us of the fact there was another homeless
couple living in a tent in Summerville.
We were checking to see if he was going to be OK with the upcoming cold snap
when we became aware of this other couple who were going to be exposed to
weather also. He only had a description of
the woman and that she worked at a local fast food restaurant in town. C4$ went to the restaurant to see if we could
locate this couple. She was not working
that day but the manager on duty said she had a way of getting in touch with
them. We gave her our phone number to
share with the couple and asked they give us a call. About an hour later the woman called and we discussed
their situation and they indeed were still living in the tent and the woman was
battling a cold as well. C4$ offered to put them up in a hotel for the two
nights where the weather was forecast to be below freezing. C4$ has a relationship with a local hotel and
we put them up in a room so they were out of the cold for those two days.
Amount $125
