Help the Contreras
family break the cycle of financial hardship and find a safe home for their
children.
Sacremento, CA – January 12, 2015 – The Contreras, a family of five, consists of two
loving parents and three wonderful daughters ages 4,5, and 13. The family
became homeless on 9-6-14 after being evicted due to an unexpected change in management,
resulting in their losing their home in favor of tenants better able to afford
a higher rent.
The family moved their belongings to Sacremento, CA, and quickly found themselves having car trouble. Their van is no longer safe to drive and exists primarily to hold their limited personal belongings. It has become a difficult task to find parking for the vehicle that will not result in tickets or towing.
While Mr. Contrera's husband's job will eventually turn into full time, and raises will apply after six months, both parents are currently only able to work part-time. Covering food, shelter or transportation is becoming more and more difficult.
The family is asking for donations that will cover a variety of needs: As the family applies for new housing, they will need to cover the cost of application fees, deposits, and first few months rent. The other funds would go towards getting a new used mini van. The monies received will allow the Contreras family to afford food, clothing and provide just enough to cover monthly rent.
As a family with 2 very young children, and one in middle school, Mrs. Contreras is growing increasingly more concerned about their safety and wellbeing. Finding schooling has been unsucessful due to their temporarily homeless state, and they have been forced to live in areas that are rife with crime.
A very hard working family, the Contreras are deeply grateful for every penny that can be donated to their cause. Their children need your help!
