Alexandra faced numerous obstacles before she sought financial assistance from DESC. She has a seven-year-old daughter and does not receive child support. Alexandra allowed her brother to live with them and drive her car, but he did not contribute financially. Her brother stole $1,800 intended for the rent. When the rent was overdue and she had nowhere else to turn, Alexandra humbly asked DESC for help. She declined DESC’s offer of food and clothing because she wanted them to give it to people who needed it more than she did. She is now looking for a new job and thanks DESC’s supporters because she’s always helped others and will be able to keep doing so thanks to DESC.
