A young lady, a former ARC
Community Youth participant now a college student, did some community service
over the Christmas break at a North Charleston elementary School. She and her friends noticed some children
scavenging for food scraps and decided to look into their situation. They found these children were living as a families
in a small motel room. She and her
friends decided to search them out and found one family in a local hotel by the
school. A mother and her six children
were facing being put out of the hotel because the mother lost her job and
could no longer pay for the room. These
young adults took it upon themselves to try to do what they could to help this
family, find the mother work, find a less expensive hotel, raise money for food
for the family and whatever else they could do the keep the family off the streets.
The former ARC student approached Change for a Dollar for assistance and we
provided her with funds toward the hotel room.
Amount $168.00
