Linda's Story
Linda is a 34 year old single mother of 4, who lives in Provo, Utah. She has two boys 13 and 7 and two girls 15 and 4. Linda is currently living with her mom in a one-bedroom apartment and working three part-time jobs to afford the little they have. She is often stressed that her children do not have a bigger place to live, with more room to play. Linda's mother watches her children while she works, however, this is far from ideal as her mother is sick and this prevents her from properly being able to care for the children. Linda's youngest child is also sick and requires monthly costly medications. Linda is barely able to provide the medication for her child and struggles to afford healthy meals for her children, they mostly eat mac and cheese or other low- cost, easy to make food items. She knows that her children need more healthy food to grow and develop properly, but that is all she can afford. Linda has also recently left an abusive relationship with the father of her children, and he is threatening to take the children from her. Linda feels so overwhelmed, she loves her children and wants the best for them, she knows what they need and is trying her best. She feels that no matter how hard she tries, she cannot pull her head above the water she is drowning in.
Linda's Path To Sustained Life- Long Improvement
After sitting down with Linda for her one-on-one session and compassionately listening to her life story- we identified her most urgent needs and matched her with an organization for each one. With the help of these non-profits Linda now has a defined pathway to sustained life-long improvement. Allowing Linda and her children a better tomorrow and a brighter future to look forward to.
