Samantha G is a devoted Christian, a loving mother, and a dear friend who has faced more than her share of challenges. Not long ago, she was living in her car, then a shelter, and now she’s found temporary safety in a hotel. Through it all, Samantha never lost her faith. She prayed for a job, a car, food—just the basic needs so many of us take for granted. When she was offered a telemarketing job, she was overjoyed, but the work didn’t align with her values and she was let go on her second day. Still, she kept praying and believing that something better was coming.

Just two days later, her prayers were answered with a new opportunity: a service station snack store within walking distance offered her an interview, and she got the job! She starts tomorrow, and she’s been blessed with safe, reliable childcare. But there’s one more hurdle—her new job requires a strict dress code: black polo shirts, khaki pants, and black non-slip shoes. Samantha doesn’t have any of these items, and after everything she’s been through, she found the courage to ask for a small loan. Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to help financially, so I’m turning to you for support.

These funds will go directly toward buying Samantha’s work clothes and paying for her first two weeks of daycare, so she can start her new job and care for her baby. She’s grateful for food from the food bank and EBT, but she dreams of the day she can provide for herself and her child. Every little bit helps, and your kindness will help Samantha get back on her feet and move forward with hope.
