Become a Family Liaison And Change A Life Today
Imagine you are the mother in a family of five. You don't know exactly how or why, but you are homeless. You never thought you would be in this situation. But you are. You feel helpless and hopeless.
What if you were introduced to someone, a Family Liaison mentor, who could help bring insight and guidance to your situation and support you as you work to get out of poverty? What if having a support network and guidance is all you needed?
What if YOU were that Family Liaison mentor? It takes one person to change the lives of a family.
Moriah is a single mother to a 10-year boy. She was completely on her own with no family and no support system. Working two part-time jobs, she was living at the poverty level. She and her son lived in a house with three other families and she was struggling.
Moriah was referred to FFC and signed up for our program, unsure of what she would get out of it. Moriah was partnered with a volunteer Family Liaison, who began to meet with her once a month and would touch base weekly over the phone to see how her week was going. Together they set goals for the year and her Liaison checked in on Moriah's progress, providing support, assurance and direction to resources as needed.
A few short months into the program, Moriah's confidence boost. She had someone in her corner cheering her along. She had someone she could reach out to if things got tough or she needed help and guidance. By the end of the year, Moriah and her son were in stable housing with no roommates. Moriah was budgeting correctly to ensure she could keep up with her rent and utilities. But most importantly, she was beginning to change the course of her future for herself and her son.
The support her Family Liaison provided her gave her the confidence and resources she needed to help her succeed. You can impact a family like Moriah's by signing up to be a volunteer Family Liaison. There is no experience as rewarding as watching your impact help a family grow. Email us today to sign up at info@familiesforwardclt.org.
