Overview
I'm a recently homeless single mother of a 7 year old boy, needing some help to get back on her feet after going through a rough patch in my life. I'm enrolled to take classes to get a job in an office, but unfortunately I am not able to make the classes due to transportation challenges.
Due to my situation and the shelter I am in, it's hard to get back and forth. I'd like to start working so I can save money to move, and have my own place again. Unfortunately with no transportation to get me to the classes and job interviews, I am unable to do that at the moment.
I need help paying for transportation/bus cards that cover the 24-week class. With the Microsoft certification that the class would get me, I would be able to add something new to my resume and get a better job as an administrative assistant.
Meeting this need will help me advance my career and get a job that will help me provide from my son. I would be very thankful to get the help I need for transportation to classes and interviews, and start rebuilding my life.
