Ms. Roundtree is currently experiencing homelessness while working hard to earn money and support her family and children back home in Connecticut. Being away from her kids while trying to build enough stability to provide for them has been incredibly difficult. Right now, she urgently needs help paying for her storage unit. That unit holds belongings that are important to her and her family, and losing it would mean losing the things she has worked so hard to hold onto during an already overwhelming time. A contribution toward her storage bill would give Ms. Roundtree one less thing to worry about while she continues working toward stable housing and a better situation for her family.

Mr. Artis is a 62-year-old male who is experiencing homelessness. He is a current resident at Caritas' The Healing Place seeking recovery. He is an exceptional employee at Walmart which allowed him to take some time off to seek recovery and better himself. Nonetheless, he has to return to work by the end of September in order to retain his job. Caritas has provided some funds, but it did not cover the entire move-in fees. Therefore, he is seeking assistance from the community in order to pay for his apartment application fee and remaining move-in fees in order to have a safe place to stay while continuing his recovery efforts and maintaining his job at Walmart.

Mr. Price is a vibrant individual who enjoys helping others, but unfortunately, he is experiencing homelessness. Being a native of Texas, he moved to Virginia for better opportunities, so he decided to share an apartment with a roommate. The roommate lost their job, and Mr. Price was unable to maintain the entire rent cost. Currently, Mr. Price has just been offered a job with a juvenile correctional facility so that he can encourage the youth to explore other options and not end up in the Criminal Justice System as an adult. He is now in training and has not received his first paycheck but wants to start the process of exiting the shelter and transitioning to permanent housing solo. Therefore, he is seeking the community's assistance paying for his application fee.
