I am seeking help for a single mom who works for my wife. She has a 9 year old son. Between rent, food, utilities, car upkeep, insurance, and other necessities she is having trouble providing all that is needed for her son. He is in school, but when there is no school and there is work he has no place to go. So that she can work I have been watching her son without compensation. She is only making minimum wage. My wife can’t afford to give her off with her shortage of employees, plus the woman needs the money to survive, leaving me as her babysitter. Are there any options for her? She lives in the Brick area and was given help to find housing. Anything kind of assistance would help her during these times.
