Kristin is a single mother with 2 children. Due to drug and alcohol addictions, the father of Kristin's two children is not in their lives as he became physically and mentally abusive towards Kristin in front on the children. Kristin has done an amazing job of protecting herself and her children by not allowing him to be around, however he does not pay child support and Kristin only receives a disability check once a month, which barely covers household bills and household needs.he father of the children was this family's main source of income and with him being gone, money is very tight and leaves no extra money for holiday gifts.
Kristin joined our supportive parenting program approximately 6 months ago after she had the children's father arrested for domestic abuse. She has worked very closely with her case manager to work on budgets, safety plans, and most recently they found an affordable safe apartment for Kristin and her 2 children (they were living with the father of the children and went into a domestic violence shelter after he was arrested). This year has been a tough year for Kristin and her children and we would love to be able to bring this family some happiness as Kristin is working so hard to ensure she is the best mom she can be and that her children are SAFE and not living in a scary situation.
