Family Promise Steps In

Clare is a single mother with no support from her child’s father. She fell behind on the rent due to a combination of her daughter being born two months prematurely, loss of income, lack of childcare for her preemie, and her mother (her support system) passing away, all around the same time. Although Clare recently returned to work, she had been stuck in a cycle of late fees and hadn’t been able to dig herself out of the hole she was in. We assisted with back rent of $3,500.

These are Clare’s words: “You have no idea how thankful I am. I went through such a rough time and have never been in this situation before. This is a fresh start!”

Shortly thereafter, Clare secured a new position paying $60,000 per year.
