Help for Doris

Hello everyone,

 

Doris needs our help! She and Jonas moved out on July 1^st, she had a full-time job, earning a decent living wage. At least, that is what she thought. She had completed the Drake College Program for Administrative Assistant, earned a 4.0, completed her externship and was promised a full-time job.

 

After two weeks on the job, she was told that she would only be working 25 hours per week, at a much lower pay than was originally offered. She is not making enough money to cover her rent of $900 a month, or her other monthly expenses. This was not the case when she moved into the apartment. Had she known this, she would have never moved into the apartment.

 

I have attached Doris’s resume- if anyone can help her locate a new position, a full-time position, PLEASE respond to this email and reply to all, as Doris will be included in the response. She is also willing to get a 2^nd job, another part-time job, just to make ends meet ASAP. It would be tragic for her to lose this apartment, after working so hard towards housing stability for her and Jonas.

 

Please circulate this email, along with her resume to other folks in your congregations, or other people you know who may be able to help her.

 

Thank you so much!!

 

Geleen
