NJ-2025-0102: FAMILY BACKGROUND: A 22-year-old mother facing severe financial hardship while caring for her 4-year-old and 1-month-old children.

FAMILY BACKGROUND:
A 22-year-old mother facing severe financial hardship while caring for her 4-year-old and 1-month-old children. Bills have fallen behind, rent is overdue, and she prays daily that the landlord does not move forward with eviction. She and her partner are doing everything they can to keep their stress from affecting their older child, who is excited for Christmas and proudly believes in Santa. He is a kind, thoughtful child who even donates his own toys to others. With the family overwhelmed by financial strain and focused on basic survival, they fear they won’t be able to afford any gifts this year. Support would help ensure their son still feels joy and security during the holiday season.
