TESTIMONIALS
Lisa is a single parent of three small children - one of whom is on a nebulizer. The loss of electricity would be devastating to the health of her asthmatic son so LEAVEN assisted with her utility payment.
Debra and her 15-year-old son are both disabled. Debra has cerebral palsy and her son has muscular dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair. The family relies on a wheelchair-adapted van that needed some extensive repairs that were unaffordable on their limited Social Security disability income. LEAVEN helped with the cost, ensuring they could get to medical and other critical appointments.
Miguel and Olivia, working parents of three young children, suffered a reduction in work hours due to COVID-19. In addition, their two school-aged children needed at-home supervision as they attended school virtually and higher speed internet service, which was an additional financial burden on the family. Even though both Miguel and Olivia maintained their jobs throughout the pandemic, the reduced hours & increased expenses impacted their monthly budget. As a result, they were behind on their rent. LEAVEN’s assistance ensured a roof over their head.
Angela was struggling both financially and emotionally. In addition to being downsized from her job, she was in the middle of a divorce – events that significantly impacted her financial well-being. She was behind on her utilities and facing disconnection. LEAVEN matched Angela’s payment for 3 months, ensuring uninterrupted service while promoting consistent payments.
