Share the Season helps mother get to needed job

By The Active Age | December 1, 2024

Michelle has a special needs child and recently had difficulty finding a daycare provider that could accommodate the child’s needs. Michelle had to miss several days at work because of the daycare situation. Unfortunately, this led to her eventually losing her job. 

Immediately, Michelle began to look for a new job but got behind on her utility bills while still trying to pay for all the necessities. Before long, she was able to secure a new job that allowed her to do home health care while her child was at school. Since she was driving regularly to her patients’ homes, she needed reliable transportation. Her car needed some repairs to get it fully operational for the additional driving her job required. 

Michelle reached out to Share the Season for assistance. Because of generous donations made to Share the Season, the program was able to provide the necessary repairs and new tires for her car. Michelle could now securely and safely get to all her patients to provide their needed care. Share the Season also helped to get her utilities caught up. The extra assistance helped provide Michelle the needed stability to get her back on track and working again.   

Since 2000, the Wichita community has contributed over $4.5 million to Share the Season and helped serve more than 4,200 families.
