NJ-2026-0147: Pregnant single mother of two, including a son with autism, rebuilding after domestic violence

FAMILY BACKGROUND:
A 29-year-old single mother in Pleasantville is expecting a third child and is raising her 13-year-old daughter and her son, who has autism, entirely on her own. She became a mother as a teenager, and their father has never been an active part of the children's lives. She is also a survivor of domestic violence from him. She works part-time, has no health insurance, and the family only moved to the area in July, so they are still in need of furniture for the children. She is doing everything she can to be the best version of a mother for her kids and to make them happy every chance she gets. Help this Christmas would mean a great deal to this family as they start fresh.
