Good day everyone,
I’m reaching out to kindly ask for your prayers for my family. We are a family of seven currently staying in a family shelter, working hard toward getting rehoused. My husband and I have been married for 20 years, and throughout it all, we’ve remained committed to providing stability and love for our children.
We chose to enter the shelter program because it originally offered assistance with first and last month’s rent to help families transition into permanent housing. However, shortly after we joined, the program faced partial defunding and now only covers the security deposit.
Recently, we’ve received hopeful news that a new grant has been approved, which may once again cover first and last month’s rent, along with possible rental assistance for those who qualify. We’re told this funding may become available in the next month or so.
In the meantime, we are also being considered for housing at a federally supported property with reduced rent. They are currently reviewing our application and credentials to determine if we qualify.
We are praying that everything aligns — the funding, the approval, and all the things needed to settle — so we can finally have a place to call our own. This would be such a blessing and a fresh start for our family. We’ve worked so hard to stay strong and together, and I’m truly proud of how far we’ve come.
Thank you in advance for your prayers, encouragement, and support. Every kind thought means the world to us.
Blessings,
-A faithful servant
