SEATTLE As many Americans wait for their stimulus payments to appear in their bank accounts, non-profits are helping those experiencing homelessness to receive checks.
Kara Bovee and her family are facing tough times.
”You know, not having an income, we weren t able to pay for gas,” Bovee said.
Her husband lost his job recently and expenses piled up – especially with five children. Their youngest is 4-months-old. The family was bolstered by news of a third stimulus payment, but worry set in trying to figure out how to track down their money.
