Gas card for Amber who is waiting for her first check

Posted May 6, 2022
Amber recently was hired full time as a social worker - a longtime goal of hers! Unfortunately, the pay cycles between her last check at her previous job and her first check at her new job created a longer gap than she expected, leaving her a bit short. Her gas light turned on today and she is worried that she will not be able to drive to work without support.

Amber is 35 years old and lives in MD

From Amber: "I am a mom of 3 boys, and I work in child welfare. My biggest dream is to become a counselor for children who have experienced trauma. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in social work as part of making that dream a reality. I experienced foster care in my teens, and ultimately ended up in the custody of a relative, as my parents were unable to care for my sisters and me. As an adult, I work hard everyday to give a purpose to my experience through serving the foster care population in my area, and also by being the best mom I can be. I love staying active and spending time with my sisters. I'm not sure I would be where I am today without their love and support. Helping others is my passion, and I hope to spend the rest of my career in a role that allows me to do that every single day."
