A single mother of three young children was having difficulty making ends meet.Although her job in a nursing home had available hours for her to work, she was only able to work part-time, due to not being able to find consistent child care that she could afford.<\/p>\n
During the pandemic, the problem worsened.She began having trouble paying herrent andfell deeper and deeper into a financial hole.<\/p>\n
When she was no longer able to keep up with her rent payments, she reached out to the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund. The Needy Fund was able to help her pay off herback rent, giving the single mother one less bill to worry about.<\/p>\n
Many human service agenciesoffer assistance tothose in need, but the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund has been helping with a host of immediate, short-term emergencies, such as food, rent, medical costs and other basic expenses since 1936.<\/p>\n
No cash is given to Needy Fund recipients. Instead, the agency pays vendors through a voucher program. The case described above was provided by the Needy Fund on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n
