Emergency Assistance

Surprises happen all the time.

We all have them. Some are wonderful and we are so grateful! However, others are not. Car accidents, unexpected loss of income, onset of a serious illness or injury, a relationship that crashes, utility bills that go through the roof.

Unless help comes quickly the consequences could trigger a downward spiral that leads to an episode of homelessness.
