Good Neighbors Fund: For working parent, RAM's help with electric bill 'made a huge difference'

On paper, Cheerilyn Chapman’s financial situation looks pretty good. The income she earns from working 60 hours a week as a restaurant delivery driver is enough for her to qualify for a loan on a modest home. Unfortunately, most of the houses in her price range — the decent ones, anyway — don’t meet her needs.
Chapman, 50, is the mother of seven children, ranging in age from 9 to 20. And while the 20-year-old is “learning to fledge,” and pays rent, she said, he’s not ready to be on his own just yet. So for now, they all live together in a rented home with plenty of rooms — as long as you count the large closet that has been turned into a bedroom as one of them.
