Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

You do not know me but you took your time and personal resources to help me and I greatly appreciate that. With this assistance I will be able to catch up financially and start life out on a positive note. I one day hope to be able to help people as you have helped me. Please never let the negatives of today's world let you think that you can't make a difference. If we all helped each other as you have helped me, we would change the world. Once again, thank you for allowing me to one month to catch up on bills and start a savings so that I can make my mother proud and know that I truly will be okay even though she's no longer with me.



Recent College Graduate Needs Help With Rent After Mother Loses Cancer Battle

My Story:

I am a 23 year old recent college graduate who just started a job with a construction consulting firm. I live alone now because my mother lost her 3 year battle with cancer on Christmas morning. I take comfort she was there to see me graduate a week prior.

My mom's limited income had paid our rent but now I am stuck with all the bills including rent. While I have a new job, this is a lot for someone just getting started in life. I worry I will not be able to keep up before I start making my consistent income. I need Modest Needs' help to pay my rent so I can balance all other bills, work and start a proper savings.

I want to be able to start life out right after such a terrible loss. I promised my mom that I would be alright and I do not want to think I failed her. This would also allow me to have hope that something good can still come out of life after seeing so much sadness. Please help me.
