Recently we received a call on our OLA helpline from a mother of SIX boys, all under 10, who moved to Atlanta from the Midwest with only 4-6 weeks worth of savings. A falling-out had
occurred with family and she moved here intending to start a new chapter in her and her children’s lives. She called St. Vincent de Paul after depleting all her cash reserves. She was approved for Section 8 housing and had a solid long-term plan for employment and child-care. But she and her boys needed shelter for a week or two until the long term housing came through. OLA's SVDP conference provided 2 1/2 weeks at a local hotel, groceries from our food pantry, and clothing vouchers for the Chamblee SVDP Thrift Store to tide this family over.
