Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

Tears filled my eyes as I read the email that said donors were helping me! I struggle everyday to make ends meet. I am supporting myself, my daughter and 2 grandchildren. I went all winter without heat (just a little heater by my bed) and am now without ac. I desperately need help. Thank you so so much for helping me in my time of need. You are so kind and compassionate! It's so nice to find people like you that are willing to help others. I appreciate it! Thank you so much! Nancy



Grandmother Needs Help with Mortgage after Taking Custody of Grandson

My Story:

I am divorced, and have one grown daughter and two wonderful grandchildren. They are my whole world! I spent 30 years in my career as a teacher, and retired in 2007. My retirement income allows me to cover my bills each month, but there is not much room for anything else in my budget.

My daughter has struggled with substance abuse issues, although it was years before I learned about this. Shortly after having her son, she became addicted to prescription drugs, and was not able to be a suitable parent. When I learned about what was going on, I had her committed to a treatment facility. During her treatment, I had to file for custody of my grandson. The added childcare costs, and the legal expenses have put me behind on my regular bills. The good news is that my daughter is now clean, and passing her drug tests.

I need help to pay for my mortgage this month. The recent expenses to care for and obtain custody of my grandson have made things difficult financially, and I need some help to get back on track. I am happy to be able to help my grandchildren, and help my daughter, but I also need to maintain stability in my home, and this is why I am turning to Modest Needs for assistance.

This funding will ensure that I keep my home and that my grandson will be able to have all of his needs met. Thank you.
