Family #30 This family consists of a 23 year old mom and her two sons, ages 4 and 2. She became homeless due low income status.
Our mom is working on her goals and continues to seek another full time job; however, she is in desperate need of a car and must settle a debt before she can reinstate her license. She has still not signed up for GED classes and is showing some hesitation since she struggled academically while in high school. She is being encouraged to sign up because special accommodations can be made for her limitations.
Goals:
● Save up at least 3 month’s rent/saving IRS tax refund
● Obtain her GED
● Apply for low income housing
● Obtain her driver’s license pay by paying off outstanding debts
This family is very happy to be a part of the
Peace and Justice Cluster Parishes
and very grateful for the extended support.
Family #31 This family consists of a 24 year old mom and her two sons, ages 7 and 5. They became homeless due to emotional abuse from her ex and his family.
Our mom is doing quite well. She is excelling at work and her employer sent her to Texas for additional training. She continues to attend school and is also meeting her savings goals each month. Her case is pending for Medicaid; however, she will be reinstated within 30 days. She knows that her food stamps will be cut due to an increase in her income. She has filed her taxes and is waiting to receive refunds. She plans to save her refunds to increase her savings.
Goals:
● Save up at least 3 month’s rent/saving IRS tax refund
● Attend work and school as scheduled
● Apply for low income housing
This family sends gratitude to the Peace and Justice Cluster Parishes for their continued support.
