Meet Jennifer
Jennifer Stanley* and her six children faced the unimaginable—losing their home due to a small clerical error with her Section 8 housing voucher. The crisis deepened when, after discovering $50,000 in unclaimed tax refunds, an unforeseen banking issue froze the funds, leaving her family without the lifeline they desperately needed.
