Community Action of Southeast Iowa

7 hours ago

Winter can be harsh. Winter 2020 was particularly harsh for Macie*. Unsure where to turn Macie came to Community Action who had been a support to her in the past. She was living in her car, had lost her job, didn’t have money to fill her empty gas tank, was hungry with no money for food, and hopeless about her future. Staff sat and talked with a hurting, struggling, and empty woman. They gave suggestions, resources, food, warm clothes, referrals, and tried to offer hope. Macie trudged on through many difficult days over the winter. Once we received housing funding this spring Macie applied and was approved for the Emergency Solution Grant (ESG) Rapid Rehousing. Macie had found a few side jobs to help her get by but was still homeless, and also now in the middle of a pandemic. Macie started working with a specialist on finding a safe place to live. Macie was able to find a safe home, where her daughter could now come stay with her. She found a temporary job and continued to seek steady employment. After a couple months she found a living wage job at a local factory. Life is looking up for Macie. At her last case management appointment with the specialist she noted how hopeful she is and how she can look up. Macie has repeated over and over how thankful she is for the help she has received through Community Action. It has truly helped her and changed her life. Winter was harsh, but the summer sun is shining.
