They’re depending on you.
The Sullivan County single mom of two young daughters, who couldn’t pay the rent because she missed work when her 2-year-old unexpectedly needed multiple visits to the emergency room.
The Ulster County wife and mom of three, left struggling when her husband lost his job because his car broke down. Unable to afford to have the vehicle repaired, the family faced mounting heating bills, now that they were temporarily left with just the wife’s income.
The Orange County man who lost crucial income from his job when he contracted COVID-19 and fell behind in his rent payments.
These are but a few of the many stories of our Hudson Valley and Catskills neighbors – normally stable and self-supporting – who are now fearful that they won’t be able to overcome these unanticipated obstacles. Yet, a one-time bit of help would make a world of difference to these folks – people like you and me – who are facing a temporary setback.
Help is offered to people who have been able to financially support themselves until a major unexpected event changes their circumstances. Could be your neighbor, friend, colleague or even a stranger. The expectation is that recipients will go back to being self-supporting afterward.
