Student in need of help: April 2022

Amy (name changed for privacy) is a Senior at CPS high school, Ombudman Northwest, and she needs help with rent this month.

Her mother is currently in the hospital and her father is unable to work, so she is the sole breadwinner for her family at the moment.

She’s in need of $800 for April rent, but any amount is truly appreciated.

You’ll receive a tax-deductible donation receipt from our donation processing partners at Our Change Foundation afterward. Goodsend will follow up with an update for you in regards to her story at the end of the month.

Our fundraising goal:

$800

Cause referred by:

The social services department at Ombudsman Northwest
