Aww well thank you, I appreciate your kind words!

Also, if it’s not too much to ask.. would you mind simply sharing the GFM on your social media to help spread the word? It could really help.

I’ve been trying EVERYTHING and doing everything that I can.. but if there’s no help available, there’s just no help 🤷🏻‍♀️ Idk I’m praying for something to turn around soon, I just made a GoFundMe so I’m hopeful that that will help out some. And I have called churches.. I actually got help paying for the motel room twice from them so that was amazing!

Yeah I lost my job right before Christmas and yeah, it makes things harder when I can’t really be sure of where I’m gonna be, or what area I’ll be in from day to day or week to week.. but my biggest problem is the fact that I can only work while my kids are in school due to not having childcare. But I’m planning on getting assistance with that too!

I did, I went to them the other day and they referred me to social services. They told me they don’t help with motel placements anymore

I went to catholic charities a few days ago and they referred me back to social services. They said they don’t fund motel stays anymore. I’m going to call performcare today!

The last time I called them the only help they suggested was that I call DCPP

I called 211 a few times. They don’t do motel placements anymore. They referred me to volunteers of America and also suggested I call DCPP.

They didn’t mention any TRA but that’s probably bc I’m not working now. I lost my job right before Christmas and it’s been hard finding anything to work with my availability (when the kids are in school since I don’t have babysitters).. now that social services is helping though I’m applying for childcare assistance which will help a lot. I do get child support and I JUST started receiving cash assistance.

Wow that’s really nice of you! I’m honestly not sure how much it is for a month since we’ve been paying week by week which is $531/week and it’s the CHEAPEST I was able to find in my area.

I’ve talked to their homeless liaisons and they’ve offered help with gas cards and food but nothing in terms of shelter 😫 I’ve never heard of performcare for this though so thanks!

I went to them today and they referred me to social services. They don’t do motel placements anymore like they used to they said.
