Andrew's life took an unexpected turn when he suffered an injury that left him unable to work for a week. During that time, he faced the harsh reality of not receiving his paycheck, which jeopardized his ability to cover his rent. Determined to avoid falling further behind, Andrew reached out to various service organizations in Salt Lake City. Fortunately, he was referred to Jewish Family Service. Andrew's situation was the kind we are here to assist with: he was back at work but needed a helping hand to catch up on his rent payments.
Thanks to the additional funding provided by our anonymous donor, we were able to step in and offer Andrew the support he desperately needed. When he visited our office to receive the assistance check, his gratitude was palpable. "All I had to do was reach out," he said as he embraced our JFS staff, overwhelmed with appreciation. With our help, Andrew is now back on track financially, and the weight of potential homelessness has been lifted from his shoulders.
Your support enables us to reach individuals like Andrew before they fall through the cracks, facing imminent homelessness, utility shut-off, or the financial devastation of healthcare emergencies and other crises. Every day, we witness the incredible strength and resilience of our community. Together, we are restoring hope.
