Priorities for Assistance
Our priorities for assistance are that you:
- Are working and/or are able to support your household in the near future
- Have a dependent child (typically 18 years old or younger) living with you
- Provide verification of your recent crisis
- Have not previously received assistance from LivingLight in the past 24 months or on three or more occasions
A LivingLight client recently wrote:
“Thanks to LivingLight, I now believe that some people in this world really care and understand … and it is okay to ask for help and some people will not look down on you, but will catch you to keep you from falling.”
