Back on Track, Thanks to The Salvation Army
“I don’t know how things got so off track...”
“Just a few months ago, everything was going well,” Debbie continues. “We were saving money to rent a new house, and the kids were doing well in school.”
The derailment began when this single mother of three suddenly found herself unemployed. The company where she’d worked for years unexpectedly closed. In an instant, Debbie lost the means to support her family.
To make matters worse, Debbie’s water heater sprung a leak, causing costly damage. After spending the last of her savings to pay for repairs, there was nothing left.
Scrambling to find work, Debbie took a part-time job which allowed the family to remain in their apartment. But her paycheck wasn’t enough to cover food — or the school supplies her children desperately needed.
Thankfully, The Salvation Army was there to help Debbie and her children get back on their feet. Through the generous support of Salvation Army donors, the family was provided with nutritious food and emergency assistance. And the kids were so excited when they each received school supplies to help them thrive in the classroom!
After a few weeks, Debbie let us know she had found a new, full-time job! She was also proud to inform us that all three of her children were doing well in school.
“Thanks to The Salvation Army, our family is back on track,” Debbie says.
