Overview
My name is April and I am a 36 year old mother with 4 children ages 16, 10, 8 and a 5 month old. I just got placed into my own low-income apartment after being homeless for 3 years. Before getting placed in my low-income apartment my children and I resided at You Can Make It Interim House Shelter.
My goals are to get approved for disability due to chronic physical and mental health issues. I have arthritis in both of my knees, right hip and lower back and I also have bi-polar and depression.
I need 3 twin size beds for my children and a queen size bed for me because we are currently sleeping on the floor.
Meeting this need will help me because I do not have any source of income currently due to my health challenges. Without your help, my children and I will continue to have to sleep on the floor, which is very hard on our bodies.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping April fund this need.
