A women, a single Mom with two
middle school aged children, contacted ARC for assistance with her rent. The Change for a Dollar team set up an
interview with the woman to explore her needs.
She has just switched jobs to pick up additional hours and had fallen
behind a bit in her rent while waiting for her checks to start coming regular. She is also attending school to be a Medical
Assistant and was nearing graduation. Because
of school she can only work part time and struggles to make the bills as her ex-husband
is not making any regular child support payments. She brought her children with her and by all
accounts the children were well behaved and the woman appears to be a good mom
trying to make a better life for her family.
Unfortunately, Change for a Dollar did not have enough funds to pay the
entire rent but we did pay 50 % of her past due amount for which she was very
appreciative.
Amount $300
