NJ-2026-0098: Young single mother working full time without health insurance, raising two girls including a 3-year-old with autism

FAMILY BACKGROUND:
A 26-year-old single mother in Dover is raising two little girls, ages 8 and 3. Her youngest was diagnosed with autism two years ago. Mom works full time but has no health insurance, and there are times she has to choose between paying the rent and buying food or medicine. She is hoping to find better work and would love the chance to go back to school. Christmas gifts for her girls are simply out of reach this year, and a sponsor would bring real joy to this small, hardworking family.
