Who Are You Helping?
I received a call this morning from a Grandmother who is looking for some assistance. She and her husband have recently taken in their two grandchildren: a 2 year old and an 8 year old. They were living with their mother who had an addiction problem that she is now seeking treatment for. Child services got involved and the children were going to end up in foster care if the grandparents did not take them in. The children’s father was tragically killed in an accident.
The cost of taking in the children has created some challenges for the couple. The grandmother had a heart attack six months ago and has been unable to work in her profession. Her husband is fully employed as a maintenance person.They have been able to stay up to date on their monthly rent but have difficulty keeping the utilities paid. They have received final notice and the power will be turned off early next week if no payment is made.
She is at the end of her list of people she can call for help and wants to provide her grandchildren a safe, and secure home to live in. She feels that cancelling the power will cause further stress on her and the children and is overwhelmed by what they have been through enough already.
A one month payment of utilities has given this family hope that has allowed them to once again stand on their own two feet..
Do you want to help? Donate now and lend a hand to more people in situations like this.
