A Family of 3 Just One Day From a Shelter

I decided to apply even though in the back of my mind I thought there was no way I would get approved...

August, 2020

I just want to thank you and your board for the grant to get my rent caught up. I had been searching for months online for help because the local non-profit organizations in my county had run out of funding shortly after the stay at home orders in March took effect. I applied to every job with no luck until the end of July. When I got the eviction papers I didn’t know what I was going to do.

My 2 daughters and I were 1 day from being put out and we would have more than likely had to go to a shelter

I found ya’ll online somehow and decided to apply even though in the back of my mind I thought there was no way I would get approved just because of the location, and the amount of past-due rent that was owed. When you guys called me and told me I had been approved I just cried, My 2 daughters and I were 1 day from being put out and we would have more than likely had to go to a shelter, so thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart for everything. I have no past due amount for my rent and going forward should have no problems at all with making my payments. Ya’ll gave me the fresh start that I needed.

I will continue to use the personal finance program going forward, there was a lot of information I had no clue about so that will definitely come to good use. I’m attaching a picture of me and my girls.

With Gratitude,

Jennifer
