D, an ARC owner, has taken in a
homeless family of four. The husband
lost his job and their car was impounded for driving with no insurance. The wife continues to work but is seven
months pregnant and they do not make enough to survive on their own. They were evicted from their apartment in
D’s neighborhood. There are two very
young children (girls) in the family. One
is preschool and one elementary school.
The additional four mouths to feed has put a big strain on D’s
budget and the children only have summer clothes. We helped D with some Target gift cards ($30)
to purchase warm shoes/sneakers for the school aged child as all she has is
sandals. Also some cash ($170) and food
cards to Bi Lo ($50) to help with the food bills. Additionally, working with D we have
been getting the family into the “system” for food stamps, Medicaid, etc. The family unit struggles to live effectively
but given the children involved we are doing what we can to keep them in
a safe and wholesome environment.
Total Amount: $250
