Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

User-submitted image -  Click to see real sizeI am overwhelmed by your generosity to help our family. With five kids, our life can be very hectic. With my husband injuring himself and being laid off for a few months we really got behind on our bills. It's very hard not to be able to take care of your family. I feel so blessed to have been helped by kind people who understand that sometimes people need a little extra assistance. We will forever be indebted to all the donors that helped our family. Thank you!! Jennifer



Missed Work Dut To Injury, Employed Again, Need Help Catching Up

My Story:

I am a married mother with five children. My oldest son is almost twelve, oldest daughter is almost ten and we have a four-year-old boy and three-year-old boy/girl twins. The kids are always busy! I work full time as an educator and my husband, who was self-employed up until two months ago, is now a framing foreman for a local construction company.

During the time that my husband was self-employed, he injured his finger. This led to time off work with no income and medical bills. We fell behind on our bills and have been working really hard to get caught up. Luckily, my husband found a job about two months ago so we're able to pay our monthly expenses but trying to catch-up is so hard.

I am asking for Modest Needs' to help pay a daycare bill. I am afraid if not paid, my kids will lose the care that they need while I'm working. This funding will help our children keep daycare so that my husband and I can work. The funding will also free up some money so that we can buy groceries for the family. Thank you so much for your kind consideration.
