Rachel's Story of Support

Community Partner: Circle Project
When I applied for support through the Emergent Women and Children’s Fund, I was living in supportive housing and trying to build toward something more permanent. I had utility arrears that had become a major financial barrier. My goal was not only to maintain stable housing for myself, but to work toward reuniting with my daughter and eventually having the opportunity to secure a home for both of us.
I received $2,000 in assistance toward my utility arrears. Taking care of this debt removed one of the major barriers standing between me and long-term stabilized housing.
This support came during an incredibly difficult period in my life. More than simply paying a bill, it gave me an opportunity to continue working toward stability and the future I want for my family.
“I just want to thank you for helping me at one of the hardest times in my life. God bless.”
