We alert you to a single mother of four boys (17,11,9,3) in need due to the COVID Shutdown causing her children’s school to convert to digital learning. Typically she worked weekdays, and two of the boys stayed in after school, the three-year-old had childcare, and the seventeen-year-old is self-sufficient. Due to digital learning, she has to be home to help the middle boys with their school work, and childcare has been interrupted for the three-year-old. As a result, she has been forced to work nights on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays. She is fighting, but it is less money, and she is burning the candle at both ends. She does not qualify for food assistance, and the boys are no longer eating at school. This has increased her expenses. She has gotten behind on her power bill and owes $540 to keep power. She also needs help with food for the boys. We are praying that the schools will open again soon, and she can get back to her normal way of providing for her and her boys. To help bridge the gap, we want to pay her power bill of $540 and give her a Wal-Mart card for $500 to ease the pressure to feed the family.
