Anna, a dedicated mother of four, recently moved her family into public housing. While they now have a safe place to call home after experiencing homelessness, the apartment lacks air conditioning, making it difficult to keep her children comfortable as the seasons change. The cost of an AC unit that provides both cooling and heating is a significant financial hurdle as Anna works hard to rebuild stability. She would be deeply grateful for assistance in making her home a healthier and more nurturing place for her family.

Despite this struggle, Ms. T is on the cusp of a major breakthrough. She is actively working toward stability and is in the crucial process of obtaining Virginia Supportive Housing. This housing is her lifeline, her ticket to a sustainable, independent future. However, a single, urgent crisis threatens to undermine all her progress: she is in jeopardy of losing her stored possessions due to an inability to cover the monthly payment. If she loses these items, she risks a devastating outcome: being forced to start completely over just as she is about to enter supportive housing. She would begin her new life stripped of her personal history and memories. Ms. T is reaching out to the community not for a long-term solution, but for a critical bridge a lifeline to ensure she can transition into her new home with her history intact. Helping her secure this payment means helping her secure a stable, dignified beginning.
