Prevent 100 people from becoming homeless

Interfaith Neighbors has helped over 200 families in 2013. Many of these families have come to us because of the devastation they have faced as a result of Hurricane Sandy. However, we continue to serve working poor families throughout Monmouth County who are on the brink of homelessness. 

Interfaith Neighbors recently helped a father who was diagnosed with a degenerative eye condition that has left him legally blind. He had to leave his job as a result. During the same time, he and his wife were asked to raise his infant nephew. The wife had to miss time from work to care for both her husband and the baby and fell behind with their rent. They also have a twelve year old daughter. The family was granted help with their back rent and avoided eviction and homelessness. They are most grateful for the assistance.

Interfaith also assisted a family in crisis because their young daughter  became ill and they had no medical insurance. They were granted rental assistance to avoid eviction and homelessness. The father now has a new job that provides medical coverage for the family.

These are just a few examples of struggling families who need just a little boost to help them stay in their homes and avoid homelessness. We serve hundreds of families just like this each year, and your help means so much when these families become financially stable and are able to put the crisis behind them. Please continue to support Interfaith Neighbors and the people we serve. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!
