Ashlee's Story of Support ~ Emergent Women and Children's Fund
Name has been changes to protect the individual's privacy
Ashlee is a devoted mother of five who has always worked hard to give her children a safe and loving home. But after the birth of her youngest child, life became overwhelming. Without access to childcare benefits and still recovering from childbirth, Ashlee found herself falling behind on rent and utility bills. She was doing everything she could, but it wasn’t enough. With the power company threatening to shut off her electricity, she began to feel like her hard work had been for nothing.
Ashlee described feeling lost and hopeless as the weight of unpaid bills loomed over her. That changed when she received $1,444 through the Emergent Women and Children’s Fund. The support made an immediate difference; she was able to pay her rent and keep the lights on. More than just financial relief, it brought her peace of mind, dignity, and a renewed sense of stability.
Thanks to this support, Ashlee now feels safer, more connected to community resources, and confident in her ability to care for her children. What once felt like an impossible burden has turned into a path forward. “I’ll never forget what this support did for us,” she shared. “It gave me hope.”
