M, a young pregnant woman with
an elementary school child, whose husband was arrested for driving with a suspended
license. The husband had to do a 90 day
jail sentence and is due for release mid-December. The husband had a job and will still have it
upon release. We spoke with his employer
who provides employment for former inmates.
The employer stated the husband was a good worker but had made some bad decisions
but he felt he had potential. The family
fell behind on the rent as a result of the husband’s incarceration and was
looking for assistance with that. In
speaking with the employer it turns out the employer paid the rent but he indicated
the family had other needs such as food and utility payments. Change for a Dollar was unable to pay the
large deposit, late fees and arrears on the utility bills but was able to
assist with providing some gift cards to Bi-Lo for food for the family.
Amount $100
