In late August 2024, Nora, a devoted mother, received the heartbreaking news that she had cancer. As she began her treatment and applied for disability benefits, the financial strain on her family grew. Unfortunately, the approval process for disability has been slow, leaving her daughter, Betty, to shoulder the entire financial burden.
With mounting bills and rent payments falling behind, their family faced the very real possibility of eviction. The stress of not knowing if they would be able to stay in their apartment was overwhelming. For Betty, the pressure of caring for her mother while managing their finances was a heavy load to bear.
That’s when HIF stepped in.
Through HIF’s Emergency Housing Fund (HIF), the family was able to catch up on their rent and avoid eviction. This vital support not only allowed them to stay in their home but also provided a much-needed break from the relentless worry and stress.
Betty shared her heartfelt gratitude, saying, “You can’t imagine how happy I am. I am grateful to HIF with all my heart. The support you provide is so important to me that I can’t explain. I can’t thank HIF enough for the help. It’s good to know that HIF is here to help those in need, and that they have such a great team willing to go that extra mile to support us in our time of need. Thank you, your support means the world to me!”
Thanks to our supporters, Nora and Betty are able to focus on Nora’s health and recovery without the added fear of losing their home.
