A single mom with two small children, Jillian had been out of work due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Without an income, she was falling behind on bills. Regardless, she needed to move from a housing situation that was unsafe and caused her youngest to have chronic and severe asthma attacks. Emergency room and doctor's visits were pushing her already thin financial margins beyond capacity. Thanks to the help of a United Way funded partner, Jillian found permanent, safe, and affordable housing for her family...but money was still tight. She could not afford the entire security deposit. United Way’s Crisis Fund was able to pay the remainder of the security deposit, so Jillian and her boys could move into their new home.
