This grant enabled me to get back on track and look forward to the future.
We recently helped a young woman whose life was turned upside down due to the pandemic. She is just one of the overwhelming number of people in the entertainment industry in Las Vegas that suddenly had no work and was beginning to recover by starting her own online business. She was still fighting unemployment because as a contractor in Nevada, it wasn’t clear that she was eligible. In the meantime, she was 4 months behind on rent. She had cut out every last expense that wasn’t essential and then was suddenly called to California to help her parents who were being forced to evacuate from their home due to a quickly spreading fire.
We know she has a lot of drive and will be back on her feet in no time. She wrote to us:
I feel like you were rooting for me to be successful and now I am.
Dear Resident Relief Team,
I hope you accept this card as a sincere token of gratitude. The Resident Relief Foundation assisted me with a grant to pay the back rent I owed due to losing my job because of the COVID pandemic. This grant changed my life and enabled me to get back on track and look forward to the future.
I have never had to ask for any financial assistance in the past. I have been financially independent, but when I lost my job and the economy was shut down around me, I needed help. I am so deeply grateful for all the hard work of your team. You chose to assist me after the thorough vetting process. I appreciate the financial course you gave me. I feel like you were rooting for me to be successful and now I am.
From the bottom on my heart – THANK YOU.
Sincerely,
Sara
We have a heart for renters

Without something like this a lot of families that are trying but just need a little hand up would be left to fall further behind causing greater harm.
There have been very few things that made me cry in my lifetime. I don’t know what would have happened without their (Resident Relief) aid but I am beyond thankful every single day.
I’m thankful the Resident Relief program exists. It is simply miraculous that a group of people are out there that will help people who are temporarily having a really hard time.
