The story

I'm a working mom of three boys, and keeping a safe, stable home for my children is my biggest priority. I work at Casey's, but my hours have been significantly reduced, leaving our family struggling to keep up with our living expenses. Our family has fallen approximately $6,000 behind on rent after experiencing financial hardship and a significant reduction in available work hours. Our landlords are becoming concerned about the unpaid balance, and I'm scared that if we cannot get caught up, my children and I could lose our home. What the money covers: - The $6,000 would go directly toward our overdue rent and help bring our rental balance current. This assistance would help protect our family's housing and give us an opportunity to regain financial stability before the situation gets worse. Needed by: We need the assistance as soon as possible because our overdue rent has reached approximately $6,000, and our landlords are becoming increasingly concerned. Already tried: I've continued working and looking for ways to cover our family's expenses, but my reduced hours have made it extremely difficult to catch up on the overdue rent. I've also pursued assistance programs, including food assistance, to help cover groceries so our limited income can go toward other essential expenses. Already helping: I'm doing what I can through my employment, and our family has been approved for food assistance to help with food costs. However, we have not been able to secure enough financial assistance to address the $6,000 rent balance, due to local agenciesand churches either not having the funding or they are unable to help due to the county I live in. What changes: Having the $6,000 rent balance paid would lift an enormous burden from our family and help us maintain a stable home for our three boys. It would also ease the strain with our landlords and give us a chance to focus on keeping up with future rent and rebuilding our financial stability.

  • Six thousand behind after hours were cut is the kind of gap that grows while you sleep. May the landlords stay patient and the balance start to come down before anything is lost.

    • Knocking on door after door and hearing no is tiring on top of the worry itself. Hoping one of those doors opens soon and your household stays steady through this stretch.

      • Scripture speaks of God providing for the birds of the air, and this housing worry is worth laying down in prayer. Hoping the arrears ease and stability returns to your household.

        • Local churches and agencies running out of funds does not change that God sees what your household needs. Hoping the rent balance clears and that your work hours pick back up soon.

          • Three boys and a job that cut your hours through no fault of yours. Asking God to send the rent help and to keep your family under one roof.
