Basic expenses and utilities

My daughter's best friend's family is in need of help.  The father left and was the main source of income.  Mom's part time job ended with the school year.  Mom is looking for work and having trouble paying all of the bills.  She is worried about utilities and basic needs for her girls, she cannot get everything she needs for them at the local food banks.  She is working with her church to find a job.  I am hoping to raise enough to get them a Visa gift card that she can use for bills.
