Comme beaucoup d'entre nous, Robert et Sarah ont reçu un chèque de relance au début de l'année. Lorsqu'ils ont réfléchi à ce qu'ils allaient faire de ce chèque, ils ont convenu qu'il y avait des gens dans la communauté qui auraient plus besoin de cet argent qu'eux, et ils ont donc décidé de faire don de leur chèque de relance.
They decided they wanted to help someone impacted by the pandemic, particularly a first responder or nurse, and a landlord struggling to make ends meet due to their tenants inability to pay rent.
Robert and Sarah were referred to the Front Door Agency where they donated their stimulus check. Their generous donation was put to use right away. Rebecca, a single mother of two employed as an LNA, had recently reached out to us for assistance with her rent. She got injured at work and was out for almost a month.
When she returned to work, she was put on light duty and her hours were reduced, leaving her behind on bills and struggling to make ends meet.
Our Housing Stability Program Manager helped Rebecca create a plan to pay back part of what she owed, and Robert and Sarah’s donation helped cover the rest. Their donation not only helped a young mother and her children avoid eviction, but also supported Rebecca’s landlord who would have gone without the rental income he relies on.
Please help us thank Robert and Sarah for their generosity! Donating their stimulus check was a creative way to give back to the community and help other hardworking families that could use a hand-up opportunity to get back on their feet.
