Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

User-submitted image -  Click to see real sizeOn behalf of my family and me, I would like to thank all who were willing to make a sacrifice in their own life to help my family in a time of need. The burden lifted by such generous people is indescribable. Even though I try to be as generous as I am able to be, regardless of my own situation, the humanity of others still amazes me every time I see kind acts such as the generosity of those who contributed toward helping my family. Although a simple thank you doesn't accurately describe my gratitude, I thank everyone again for their generosity, and can't wait until I can pay it forward!



Single Mother Needing Rental Assistance After Car Troubles and Student Loans

My Story:

I am a single mother of a beautiful six year old daughter who is energetic and full of life! We love spending all the time we have together playing games, taking walks, going to the beach and making crafts. I am a paralegal and have been in the legal field for over 11 years, however, I recently started a new job one year ago that I love!

My daughter and I live paycheck to paycheck. With the cost of gas commuting to work, along with regular bills and other necessities, it does not leave much more for other essential items, or unexpected expenses. My 12 year old car recently broke down in December, which left me with no choice but to purchase a new vehicle. At the same time my student loans have started coming out of my paycheck by default. This has caused me to fall behind on rent. We need your help to catch up on rent.

Fortunately, I am expecting an income tax refund which will help me get caught up on other bills and let me start to save in case of future unexpected emergencies. Being a single mother and working so hard to make ends meet with no help from anyone is very hard. I will be extremely thankful to have outside help for once. Thank you so much!
