NJ-2026-0101: Single mother of four, recently laid off and facing eviction, hoping for help this Christmas

FAMILY BACKGROUND:
A single mother is raising four children in an apartment in Elizabeth: a 17-year-old son, a 14-year-old son, a 10-year-old son and a 7-year-old daughter. She was recently laid off and is facing eviction, with no income coming in, and she is struggling to find a job that works around her children's school hours. She says her family is barely surviving, and a sponsor's help this Christmas would mean so much to them.
