Crystal 4Tragedy hit when Crystal’s apartment burned down. She and her four children — ages 1, 5, 8 and 11 — lost everything, including identification.While losing her home was heartrending for Crystal and her children, she soon realized that the loss of identification was an even bigger tragedy because she couldn’t get her family into a shelter without it.

Friends In Deed was able to help by providing the funds needed for Crystal to get a copy of her birth certificate. With the birth certificate, she could get copies of her children’s birth certificates and get into a shelter.

I’ve been going through a terrible time. Getting this help from Friends In Deed makes me very grateful. I greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
