Think of UsMercedes is a former foster youth who is now a full-time student pursuing a degree in child development. Three years ago, she courageously left a domestic violence situation and has since been working hard to support herself. Despite lacking family support, Mercedes demonstrates resilience and entrepreneurial spirit, aspiring to start a car bedazzling business. Her journey showcases her determination to overcome challenges and create a better future for herself while balancing her studies, work, and family responsibilities.
Mercedes and her family are doing their best to manage during the current government shutdown, which has paused their cash aid and SNAP benefits. With three children under ten, Mercedes is struggling to gather enough funds to buy groceries for everyone. Any assistance this month with food would be greatly appreciated while they wait for their benefits to resume.
