One Child at a Time
In fourth-grade, Brittany began to show signs of anxiety at school. Aware of her changed behavior, Communities In Schools’ local counselor learned that the family was on the verge of homelessness. Brittany’s mother was recovering from an important surgery, but wasn’t provided enough sick leave from her employer to cover the bills. Worry and stress over the families’ financial situation had impacted Brittany’s performance in school. Communities In Schools of Auburn provided assistance towards one month’s rent. With time to fully recover and freedom from financial stress, Brittany’s mom returned to work a few weeks later and the family was able to stay in their home. Brittany’s anxiety lessened and she was able to focus on doing her best in school.
