Family rebuilding after long-term homelessness, disrupted schooling and complex heath struggle to afford a hopeful Christmas.
This single mother and her children have faced an incredibly difficult journey. After a long period without stable housing, they’ve finally moved into a safe place to call home, but they’re rebuilding from almost nothing. Throughout everything, the mother has done her best to protect her children while managing her own complex health needs, as well as the children’s. The constant instability meant belongings were lost, routines were disrupted, and sudden school changes added even more stress. Now that they are finally settled, every bit of energy and money goes toward basic essentials and creating a sense of safety for the kids. There is very little left for anything extra, and the emotional and financial exhaustion is weighing heavily on the family. Any support at this time would help ease the pressure on this mother and bring some much-needed brightness and hope to her children as they continue rebuilding their lives.
