During the Covid-19 pandemic, many of our partners, and community members have expressed concern for individuals going through domestic violence. It is more worrisome, if that individual is one of the families we serve. Ms. C came to us before the pandemic looking for help. She did not have work, her daughter was receiving behavioral therapy, and she was in an abusive relationship. National Coalition Against Domestic Violence states that in New Jersey, wives were the victim 16% (10,829), “overall, females were victims in 75 percent (48,697) of all domestic violence offenses in 2012,” (www.ncadv.org/files/New_Jersey.pdf). When Ms. C came to the center for help, there was not a solution in mind. Her situation was complex. A toxic relationship, issues with her daughter’s behavior, and no work-related experience. The first step was to find a job, so she could move out with her daughter. Nonetheless, she did not know where to start. One of our Family Partners suggested that we start with her resume, which we did. Next step was to apply for a job at one of the Public schools in Paterson working in the cafeteria. After a few months, she finally got great news, she got the job! Unfortunately, two months in she lost her job due to the Covid-19 crisis. Since she had not worked enough hours to file for unemployment, her benefits was denied. All doors seemed to be closed. She left her home to go to a shelter with her daughter. Every week we contacted Ms. C to get an update. When she needed food, we referred her to a food pantry. After a long wait, she received section 8. With only a few weeks left for the voucher to expire, she got an apartment. NDFSC was so happy to hear she found a place for her and her daughter to call HOME. Every step of the way we were there to assist. Her faith was contagious! Even when all was not going how we wanted, she stood strong. Our team saw a leader, an advocate, and a strong woman in action. Today, Ms. C has her own place, her relationship with her daughter has improved, and she found another job!
