In addition, we assist with everyday living costs, including food and utilities. We understand that each family's situation is unique, and we review all requests thoroughly to provide the necessary support. Requests are processed in the order received, with a review period of at least 15 business days. We are here to help families navigate these challenges with care and compassion.
