Hello all,

I have a guest at our shelter house that is approved for an apartment with a total move in cost of $2385. Associated Ministries is assisting with part of that cost and our guest is responsible for the rest. She is working full time and had saved up 2 paychecks to cover her portion but the money was stolen out of her wallet at her workplace yesterday (normally she would not have carried the cash, however, she went straight to work from the bank). The rental company is aware of the situation and is working with her to hold the apartment. This will set her move back 3 weeks until she has 2 full paychecks to recover the loss. Does anyone know of other assistance she can get to help with this? Specifically move in costs? Thanks in advance!!
