Aminah This time last year, Aminah was struggling. Her landlord had removed the radiators from her apartment during springtime, with plans of converting the building’s heating system. Six months later, the renovations were not completed. “It was November and I had no heat,” said Aminah. “Mice were able to infest my apartment through the holes left in the floor where the radiators had been.” At the time, Aminah was on maternity leave. Plagued with financial burdens in addition to the deteriorating condition of her apartment, Aminah cut her maternity leave short and returned to work. “I was left with no other choice but to pack up my infant son and prepare to move. I found an apartment; I just needed assistance with my security deposit. I began to research assistance programs and that’s how I found the Emergency Fund. The Emergency Fund changed my living situation for the better. I now live in a safe, worry free environment.” |
