Through our Uplifting Lives Program, we were able to provide a timely holiday season intervention for a newly arrived American family in Baltimore at a critical moment. Ali, his wife, and their two young children (ages 1 and 3) arrived in the U.S. in late July. Despite a strong tech background, a difficult job market delayed stable employment, and while Ali secured hourly work and qualified for some public benefits, gaps in temporary cash assistance left the family short on January rent. A one-time emergency grant from Good People Fund covered the remaining half of their rent, keeping them safely housed while longer-term support took hold. This quiet act of compassion ensured stability and dignity for this family.
