Annie is an incredibly hardworking single mom of 1 who hasn't been getting any child support for about 6 months now. Bills are piling up fast. Inflation is causing it to be harder for her to afford groceries for her and her little (boy) who is on the grow! :) Outside of her full time job, Annie has been DoorDashing when she can on the weekends. Because she isn't a native of VA with a lot of family here, she hasn't yet found trustworthy support with childcare so it’s been a little hard to Dash consistently. Your help would allow her to get groceries for the next few weeks while she plays catch up. Thank you tremendously!
