Hey everyone, as many of you know, I serve as the VP of Echelon Syracuse which is a volunteer organization affiliated with the Salvation Army. First, please like/share/support their page. Secondly, we have an immediate need that the community could help support, see the story below and a link to help though even a like/share goes a long way.
We got a new client today, a young mother facing an urgent and incredibly challenging situation, and we are reaching out in hopes of rallying community support on her behalf. She is a 22 year old single mother with a one year old child who has recently relocated from Cayuga County to Onondaga County in search of a fresh start. Unfortunately, she arrived at her new apartment with virtually nothing. No furniture, no bed or crib - only the clothes she and her child were wearing.
Due to her recent move, she is not yet eligible for county assistance and will not qualify for support for at least 30 days. In the meantime, she and her child are in immediate need of basic household essentials to create a safe and stable living environment. We are hoping to gather donations of any kind to help meet these urgent needs.
If you are able to contribute or help spread the word, it would be deeply appreciated. Together, we can help provide comfort, dignity, and stability for this young family as they begin to rebuild.
Thank you for your compassion and support. An Amazon Wishlist with basic essentials to help get this mother back on her feet can be found here
