NJ-2025-0128: FAMILY BACKGROUND: A 47-year-old single mother working full time while raising her seven-year-old son, who is bright, energetic, and has sensory-seeking needs.

FAMILY BACKGROUND: A 47-year-old single mother working full time while raising her seven-year-old son, who is bright, energetic, and has sensory-seeking needs. She also supports her elderly mother and her stepfather as much as she can, stretching her income across rent, bills, groceries, and caregiving responsibilities. She does not qualify for public assistance, and child support is inconsistent because the father only contributes when he is employed. With her son’s eighth birthday approaching in early January, upcoming expenses like a replacement kitchen table and sofa, and everyday costs continuing to rise, she is unable to afford Christmas gifts this year. Support would bring joy to her son, who loves Sonic, Pokémon, puzzles, Legos, and games, and help her keep their home stable through a difficult season.
