Please Join Us In Making This Mom's Day!!!

After talking to a young mother this morning I wanted to share her story and see if we might be able to help her out today...

She contacted Ruth's Heart last September and at that time was pregnant and had 4 children, ages 9,7,6,2.  She was trying to get on her feet and was enrolled for housing through the Agape program.  She had to wait 2 weeks for housing and we assisted her with one week at Trinity shelter.

We tried to contact her in October and her number was no longer in service so we weren't sure what was going on...

Well, she called today and since we last talked to her last, she has completed the 4 month program at Agape.  She is enrolled in CDL school that starts Monday morning and is planning to get her CDL and apply for a school bus driving position.  She is supposed to be moving into her new apt this weekend.  MIFA is assisting her with her first 2 months rent so she will have rent and utilities paid while she goes to school, she is moving because her housing through Agape was only for 6 months.


The only thing keeping her from moving into her own apartment is that she has a MLGW bill of $468 and cannot move into her new apartment until utilities are on, and can't have the utilities transferred until this is paid.

Please just consider this request and let us know if you would like to help.  Any amount will help and ALL DONATIONS made through this post will go directly to help this single mom.  Unfortunately she needs this done either today or over the weekend so she can move on Monday.  If there are questions you would like answered please let me know.  I would love to show her that her efforts are not hopeless and that people still care.
