J, a single mom with 6 six
kids who is a cancer survivor, was in jeopardy of being evicted. Due to her
illness she fell behind in her bills when Medicaid limited the funding of her
health care. We were contacted by a counselor from Fort Dorchester elementary school that the family has
one child who just started college, mother herself was finishing up some
additional classes to help in advancing herself, and the other kids in Ft
Dorchester were well behaved and appears that they are doing well in
school. She indicated it was a good
family who fell on hard times due to illness.
She needed $855 to prevent from being evicted - we indicated we
could not do it all, maybe $500 to $600.
The counselor was going to reach out to another church and/or take up a collection
at school. As it turned out the other
church was coming up with the $355 and Change for a Dollar would do the
$500. The school was very appreciative as they
felt family was definitely deserving.
ARC made a payment to the property management company in the amount of
$500 in her name.
Amount: $500
Looks good
