Dad and Son Avoid Homelessness
Victor, a single dad, and his teenage son recently moved up from California. They have had their apartment for about three months now. When Victor’s hours were cut at work, he found himself unable to pay their December rent. The balance needed to prevent eviction was $1300. Victor has no friends or family here in Washington. Full payment was required to prevent eviction, so we asked the local conference to partner with us to assist this family, which they did by pledging $500. SVdP pledged $399 and Victor was able to get a draw from his employer to cover the rest. Because of monetary and goods donations, we were able to help this struggling family avoid eviction, just prior to being filed in the court system. Victor has since found a new job that is full time.
