We alert you today to a single mother who recently lost her father. She works for her county school system as a paraprofessional and is in her last year of earning a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. She has a long track record of providing for herself and her child. About 18 months ago, she became the sole caretaker for her father, who was very ill. As his health declined, he had to undergo a partial leg amputation.

She could not quit her job with the school system, so she was forced to pay for a private CNA to stay with him while she was working. Sadly, he passed away last month. She had no other family to help with the end-of-life expenses, which pushed her over the edge. She is now two months behind on her rent. We want to help her get back on her feet while she completes her schooling to become a teacher. She needs $2,900 to catch up on her rent.
