CAN WE COUNT ON YOU THIS HOLIDAY SEASON?
Brandon visited our offices in July for services. He has been chronically homeless and has been living in his car with no air conditioner for the last 2 years. With a salary of only $365 weekly after taxes he was unable to find permanent housing. This was also not enough to cover the monthly cost of a room in a rooming house or a hotel stay.
In summer during the soaring temperatures Brandon was hospitalized due to heat exposure. Not only was his health at risk, but his employment because of the missed days due to being hospitalized
When Brandon came to the Elizabeth Coalition he told his caseworker that he was unable to take his heart medicine and insulin medication for his type 2 diabetes because he didn’t have stable housing to store his medication. Without sufficient finances he couldn’t eat the required food for his dietary needs. With YOUR donations we were able to help Brandon with emergency housing as he was at a severe risk of dying from sleeping in his car.
The Case Manager worked diligently advocating for Brandon and we are happy to say that Brandon moved into permanent housing in September.
We have more individuals and families just like Brandon. Your donation goes a long way. No donation is too small.
Thank you in advance for your support.
