This family has been recommended by HomeStart.

A vibrant family of five, the M’s have always supported each other, played together, and tightened the belt together. A year and a half ago, when Mrs. M lost her job, they eliminated all unnecessary expenses and were getting along fine- they even had unsubsidized housing.

But then Mr. M, who is divorced from Mrs. M, lost his job too, and the child support for the four children disappeared. Rent began piling up, and now the M’s are in need of a little boost.

Mrs. M and her daughter are attending nursing school together in hopes of getting well-paying positions to become completely self-sufficient and able to add a little breathing room into the family budget. The two sons are excited about getting to go to camp, and the younger daughter is looking forward to buying books to fuel her passion for reading.

Mrs. M has always provided for her family, emphasizing the importance of responsibility. She strives to have her children well-adjusted and active members of society. With just $1200, we can help Mrs. M continue to set a great example for her children. Her and her daughter can wait for child support to start back up, cover rent, and graduate from nursing school, keeping this family together, healthy, and happy. How can you help them reach those goals today?
