We alert you today to a single mother and her four-year-old son who are in crisis. She just graduated from college earlier this year. In March, they moved several states away from home along with the child’s father. A few weeks after moving, the father became verbally abusive towards her. The abuse became more frequent and escalated to physical abuse on July 4th. He abandoned the mother and child, drained their joint bank accounts, and stole her car.

She works full-time but could not pay for the apartment rent on her own. The apartment was in his name, and she was forced to leave. They spent the past few weeks in a pay-by-the-week motel. She filed a police report about the car, and the insurance company is paying the claim to take care of her loan. She is getting help from her family, but they do not have the resources to secure a new apartment and get her out of the high-priced motel system. She has been approved for an apartment that is within her budget, but she needs $2,700 up front to secure it. We want to help her and her 4-year-old son move into this affordable and stable housing.
