Mr. Demetris is a single father of four young children who is facing one of life's most heartbreaking challenges. On June 7, his beloved life partner and the mother of his children passed away after a courageous battle with breast cancer. In an effort to give his wife the farewell she deserved, Demetris exhausted his savings. As the initial support from family and friends has begun to slow, he is now left to navigate the overwhelming task of rebuilding life for himself and his children while carrying the weight of an unimaginable loss. One of his immediate concerns is paying the family's July rent on time—a responsibility that was especially important to his wife. As Demetris prepares to return to work and establish a new normal for his children, he is reaching out for help during this incredibly difficult transition. Your generous support will help ensure that this family can remain safely housed while they begin the long journey of healing.

Ms. Yvette has mutliple physical health conditions which limit her ability to work and maintain her bills. After receiving support from families and congregations, she finds herself soon to lose her storage unit which contains her final belongings after bouncing between rooms to rent, couches, and her car. Upon working with her CARITAS case manager, she identified a voucher-based housing program to which she will soon transition. Supporting this need helps that transition to housing come with the memories she has of her family and friends.

Ms. Krista recently moved out of shelter into a place on her own. After working with the case management team to obtain a new job, pay off arrears, and obtain benefits, she now finds herself unable to balance both rent and furnishing her apartment. This support would allow Ms. Krista to make her new apartment feel like a home instead of a source of isolation, allowing her to continue fighting depression and fear.

Mr. Leroy is experiencing homelessness and currently resides at Caritas. He is a dedicated worker at The Restaurant Depot and has 3 children to take care of. Because of his obligations, he decided to make a payment plan to pay for his federal taxes but with the interest accruing each day, he needs assistance paying off his bill, so that he can focus his attention on permanent housing. He would greatly appreciate the communities help with alleviating this burdensome bill.
