Elise is a determined 24-year-old mother of two who’s doing everything she can to build a better life for her family. She's taken big steps forward and recently secured stable housing, but transportation remains a major barrier. Without a car, she relies heavily on Lyft and Uber to get to work, appointments, and childcare. These rides are expensive and consume much of her income. She dreams of driving her own car, but challenges related to ADD have made it difficult for her to pass the driving test.
Elise would greatly appreciate assistance with enrolling in driving classes, where one-on-one instruction can give her the support she needs to pass the test and the gain the independence she's been working so hard for. As her family settles into their new home, Elise is also in need of beds for her children, so they can have a safe and comfortable place to sleep.
