Hello I am reaching out because I am dire need of financial assistance, I have been struggling tremendously with trying to keep up with my bills I am so far behind in rent and I'm afraid I will lose my home and I work so hard to obtain it. Now I seen that it said that I have to be a registered parishioner, although I am not sure on how to go about becoming registered. I just need some help please if I can get approved for this grant it will go straight towards my rent so I don't lose my home, so I can at least show my property manager that I am making the effort. It's become increasingly difficult to manage bills because I did get let go for my job a couple of months ago and it's been very hard trying to obtain a new one, my biggest challenge with obtaining a new job is transportation I don't have a vehicle so it makes it hard for me to get a job. All I ask is that if you would please help me I can't lose my home.
Thank you for your time and patience.

Good Day,
I am seeking help with my rent. I had some unexpected car repairs come about, along with being out of work for a little bit which put me behind on my bills. I’ve been trying to catch up little by little but I am still behind. Looking for anything to help.

Good Evening,
I'm now disabled due to traumatic brain injury and I am not able to work anymore. Before my injury I worked for thirty eight years. I have applied for disability but have not received anything yet. I am seeking help with my past due water bill. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Thank you for your time and patience.
