Below are cases where we have received donations:

Homeless Single Mother with Young Son
Cynthia, a divorced single mother with a fifteen year-old son was homeless after being laid-off from a well- paying production job. Presently, she is working two jobs at minimum wage to help pay off her escalating bills. This family could use some financial assistance. Maybe help with rent or help with payments on the van - $250.00 per month (maybe a month or two). Both Cynthia and Trevin could use new clothing. A pre-paid gas card would help greatly. Of course, any type of financial assistance would help this family immensely.

Thank you, Val Gold for a $100.00 check to EHC for Cynthia and Sue Datta for donating one month of car payments with a check of $250.00.
