Opportunities for Kindness
Westerville North Family in Need of Assistance with Utilities
A Westerville North High School family is currently in need of short-term assistance to help cover utility expenses. Due to a recent and unexpected move, the family is working to stabilize their finances and catch up on outstanding bills. Without assistance, they are at risk of eviction and potential utility shutoff. This is a one-time request intended to help the family regain stability while they work to become current on their financial obligations.
Any level of support would be greatly appreciated. The family needs approximately $800 to get utilities current and prevent further hardship. Contributions of any amount will help them move toward financial stability during this difficult time.
WCS Seniors in Need of Help with Fees
This time of year, graduating seniors have to pay off their school fees to be able to attend prom, go on the school Cedar Point trip and get their diploma. There are a huge variety of reasons why students accumulate fees over their high school years and much of it is due to financial strain. Would you consider donating to help these students finish their year strong? This support helps students focus on the positive parts of their senior year instead of feeling left out and stressed about money. Any amount helps and the students are so grateful!
