G. is a single mother of a six-year-old. Her mother lives with her

and both of her family members suffer from bi-polar disease and

other severe health issues. Her mom is unable to work, but helps to

care for the little one. She is seeking employment and has no

personal mode of transportation.  Ms. G is interested in CWAH

educational programs. They need help with food, household items,

toys and clothing.

B. is a single mother of four who recently lost her job in Illinois

when her transmission went out, preventing her from travelling to

work. Her phone is disconnected and her electricity will soon be

terminated. She would like to acquire food, clothing and shoes for

her children. Her temp job is not sufficient and she has to catch

several busses to fulfill her assignments. Ms. B. is interested in

CWAH educational programs.

B. is a single mother of a 15-year-old who is on disability for

depression. After paying for bills and expensive medical co-pays,

there is little for food. No one should have to suffer from hunger

in this society – especially a youngster who is excelling at her

high school and a caring mother. Ms. B. would appreciate furniture,

household items and information regarding utility assistance since

both her gas and electricity have been turned off.

W. is married with four children, but has been unemployed for two

years. Even with the extra hours her husband works, it is a

constant struggle to provide food, clothing and shelter. Having

severe health issues, she often foregoes her medications because of

the cost. Two of her children have been diagnosed ADHD and the gas

and telephone are disconnected. Ms. B. has completed various

training programs without acquiring permanent employment and is

interested in CWAH educational programs.

O. is the essentially single mother of a four-year-old, expecting

another child next month. She has suffered physical and emotional

domestic abuse from an unsupportive father who visits unexpectedly

and steals from them.  Although she works full time, she can’t

afford a new bed for her child, replacements for clothes he has out

grown, clothes for the new baby, and a couch better than her

current one which has a large hole in it. Ms. O is very determined

to triumph and is anxious to enroll in CWAH educational

programs.
