Testimonial
This person has left the following thank you note:
I was very surprised when I received notification that my application was funded! I had this initial reaction because I was feeling hopeless and overwhelmed. Since completing my application, I have become responsible for caring for my ill, 70+ years old parents. My mom is diabetic, my stepfather was recently diagnosed with cancer and my father developed an aneurysm. Not to mention, the car repairs I still need. I must have reliable transportation to my parents home to care for them and also to avoid public transportation and contracting COVID. Then, I was brought to tears, reflecting on how we can all bring strength and hope to one another when we come together in love. On behalf of my ENTIRE family, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your compassion and generosity!! -Leslie
I'm a Furloughed, Single Mom Who Needs Help with Rent Before We're Evicted!
My Story:
I am a single mother to my 7-year-old daughter. My daughter is a student in the first grade, and she has needed my support to ensure that she completes this virtual school year successfully. Therefore, I have spent a lot of time at home with her during this pandemic.
I was furloughed from my position at Mt. Sinai Hospital due to cancellations of outpatient appointments in an effort to prevent the Covid-19 virus from spreading. I have been unemployed since March and have been unable to collect unemployment benefits due to a past over-payment owed to the state. Recently, I received a letter from the USDA indicating that my food stamp case would be cancelled, resulting from an error on their part. I'm now without any income at all, and no prospects of returning to work any time soon. I now need help paying my rent for this month.
Assistance with paying my rent will ensure my daughter and I have stable housing for a while longer, and it will allow for me to use any other funds I can gather on utilities and car maintenance expenses. I will need a reliable vehicle should I be called back to work or even to a new job in the meantime. This has been a difficult time for me and my daughter, but I know that we can make it through with just a little help. Thank you so much for your understanding and compassion.
