Overview
I am a 57 year old single parent raising my 2 sons 14 & 15 years old in a mission. I've had some changes in my life as we had to leave our apartment we had & then moved to the mission.
My goals are to return to work but a stable place to live is essential for my sons & myself to allow for this to happen.
I need a birth certificate for both my sons & myself for us to transition to a place of our own. As I'm applying for housing I find I need our birth certificates to complete the application process.
Meeting this need will help me because once housed I'll be able to obtain full time employment & see my sons thrive where now they don't want anyone to know we are homeless staying at the mission.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Simone fund this need.
