Jane, a working single mom with a young child recently got out of an abusive relationship. Her ex-husband has not been providing any support for his child. Jane has been working for temp agency and is currently with a local bank and is hopeful that soon she will be taken on as a full time bank employee. Last month she had an auto accident and missed several days of work, She also had an unexpectedly high electric bill. Her rent and all the other bills are current but she does not have enough income this month to make all her payments. She has applied for and been approved for food stamps but the EBT card is not due until mid-month. Change for a Dollar inquired about this month's electric bill (~$100).
