Ms. Thomas is reaching out to our community during a deeply challenging season of life, having been unexpectedly displaced from her home due to federal funding cuts. This sudden loss of stability was further complicated by an eviction mark on her record, forcing her to start from scratch to rebuild the life she once knew. As she works toward the day she can finally access her retirement benefits (1 year away) and regain her full independence, she is seeking a helping hand to bridge the gap - specifically to secure her personal storage unit and protect the belongings that represent her history and her future. By supporting Ms. Thomas now, we are providing more than just a financial safety net; we are offering the dignity and peace of mind she needs to navigate this transition and reclaim her livelihood.

Mr. Williams is that uncle—the one who immediately springs into fix-it mode for his family. But this time, he quickly realized that age, limited tools, and the responsibility of being a devoted father to three girls made it impossible for him to handle this challenge alone. Williams began his Monday staring at a puddle of antifreeze on the floor of his vehicle. With age and limited resources, he quickly realized he would need additional support to resolve the issue. The root of the problem is a failed heater core that must be replaced in order for him to safely get back on the road.
