Margarita C.'s Story
Total Assistance: $21,540.00
In April 2017, after seeking outside help, Margarita found the courage to put an end to the domestic violence she withstood for years. She fled from home, her three children in tow.
Margarita’s job as a cashier is now just enough to cover her expenses since her husband refuses to pay child and spousal support, despite a court order. She does without all she can—considering even the internet to be a luxury she cannot afford. But when a recent car accident left her with a $4,500 bill, she was forced to sell most of her belongings to provide for her children.
With a wrecked car and no internet, her ability to maintain her income and her independence was left in doubt. Because of your kind donations, we were able to cover Margarita’s car repairs, a Target gift card and a full year of rent to help lighten her load.
