We alert you today to a single mother recovering from oophorectomy surgery. She has a longstanding and consistent work history that has provided for herself and her two children (15, 20). The father of her kids is incarcerated; he does not support them. She has a well-paying factory job where she loads supplies onto heavy machinery. It is physically demanding, but she enjoys the work.

In February, she started having severe pain that kept her out of work for several weeks. Doctors discovered large cysts on her ovaries. She underwent an oophorectomy to remove her ovaries last Friday. She will be returning to work in two weeks. This medical setback has put her behind on her April rent. After I told her the OneNeed network could help with her rent, she expressed her thanks, and then proceeded to explain that she would also need to pawn her car title to pay for several other outstanding bills. After digging a little deeper, I obviously told her, in no uncertain terms, not to pawn her car title. We want to support her through this trying time by covering her remaining rent and utility bills totaling $1,700.
