Emergency Financial Assistance
Emergency Financial Assistance...

Many of our region's seniors are experiencing homelessness, hunger, evictions, unemployment and barriers due to lack of resources. Sleeping in cars, tents, shelters and abandoned buildings, hoping that some Angel will rescue them.   A Grateful Mind of course cannot unlock the entire grip of poverty single-handedly, but through this program's revisions, we aim to provide financial assistance or referrals for to seniors 60 and up who find themselves overwhelmed by the unexpected as funds are made available to us.

Our Emergency Financial Assistance Program combines an immediate response to crisis with an expectation of personal accountability by the recipient of our assistance to prepare for the avoidance of a future crisis. A crisis is an economic problem resulting from an unexpected event or circumstance beyond the control of the individual, which threatens their ability to maintain the basic necessities of food, shelter, or prescription medications.
 
Immediate assistance may be provided after the crisis is validated and the client’s ability to solve the problem on their own has been evaluated. As funds are available, assistance may be provided to avoid utility cut-off, to avoid eviction or foreclosure, to avoid loss of heating or cooling during critical seasons or to avoid absence of life sustaining medications.
In each case, clients must demonstrate the ability to maintain or plan for sustainability as part of their responsibility for the assistance provided. As part of their plan for personal responsibility, it is our belief that an individual can begin to prompt positive change in their lives by conditioning the way that they think. A Grateful Mind requires each client attend one of our Self-Sufficiency Seminars (or accept a referral to another community agency for specific counseling or training) in order for us to seize the opportunity to impart resourceful information and preventative means into the client’s mind that will equip them in exploring resources that will help them avoid recurring crisis.  You can help prevent homelessness. Please Donate Today, thank you.
