A single mother residing in the Oldtown area, where local financial resources are very limited, needs help securing stable housing. She has escaped domestic abuse in the past and is currently living alone with her children. However, her landlord issued a lease non-renewal, so she is facing an unexpected, urgent relocation, and needs help paying the deposit on a new apartment to avoid homelessness. She is actively reaching out to multiple resources, including 211 and local partners, to piece together enough move-in funding, but only $400 is guaranteed so far of the total $2,200. She is a hardworking single mother trying to make ends meet. She works full-time and takes on side cleaning jobs for extra income. Despite working consistently, balancing regular living expenses on a single income has left her without enough upfront savings to cover a full deposit on short notice. Her new lease will accommodate her brother as a roommate starting in December, splitting rent and utilities moving forward, which will drastically lower her monthly expenses and ensure long-term sustainability. Because she is coordinating with multiple agencies to cover total move-in costs, any contribution toward her deposit will help keep her family housed.
You can donate $50 - $1,800 by adjusting the quantity. We do have money in our general fund to assist with part of this, and she is working with other organizations as well, so we’re hoping to combine resources to reach the full amount.
Thank you so much!
