Application Details

Son With Spinal Injury - Rent | Cost to fully fund this application: 967.00 Modest Needs Points

The figure above includes the cost of fulfillment.

I am an unemployed single female trying to manage my own household and that of my adult son who suffered a spinal trauma accident in February of 2009 leaving him disabled. I was employed at the time and had taken FMLA (Family Medical Leave), but in July of 2009 when my son was finally discharged from 3 months of hospital and nursing home care, I was let go due to 'lack of work'.

I am trying to manage to keep a roof over my son's head in Ohio and pay bills over what his disability income does not cover and maintain my own mortgage while looking for work in a Michigan economy.

I am living month-to-month and the amount requested is to cover a mortgage payment with the hopes of buying another month and prayerfully getting employment so that I can take care of myself and my son until he can return to a degree of self support.
