Elevating Families
Helping parents gain the confidence and skills to achieve economic independence.
Charda is a single mom with three kids from newborn to 17. She is a manager with a local company and has worked there as a valued employee for 8 years. 4 months ago her baby girl was born with sickle cell
disease after a high-risk pregnancy. She does not qualify for Medicaid and had to pay her medical bills out of pocket. With no family in the area to help her she turned to us for help with her rent and utilities.
Charda is a woman of deep faith. She radiates a positivity and conviction of God’s care for her and her family and is an active member of a local church. There seems to be no space for negativity, in spite of the stresses of her pregnancy and financial abandonment by the father of the baby. She has a calm demeanor and is an honest, transparent person.
Our team was able to help with rent and utilities, and connected Charda with HOPES for medical appointments and care for herself and her children. She was so grateful.
Life is straightening out for the family and without the time and care of our team in the Resource Hub, her journey would have been a more isolated and confusing one.
