A Little Help makes big difference

In the Spring of 2007, a young family fell behind on their bills. With both husband and wife working, the pressure of life began to affect their fledgling family. The motto “we don’t ask for help” was being severely tested, that is until the baby became sick. Jessica met with our volunteers, sharing stories and tears. A bill was paid and friendships were formed. Afterwards, Jessica wrote to us,

“My name is Jessica, and your group has helped my family and my husband. I have been on low income housing and temporary aid to needy families for a year now, trying to find a good career. I will be starting at AIMS to hopefully start a great life ahead. When we came to ask for help it was hard, I never had fallen behind on bills before. I and my husband thank you very much for helping to us to make bill payments, it has greatly helped us. I thought if you wouldn’t help – we would be out of luck! Thank you so much,
Jessica, husband and baby
