[January 2016] The Social Services of Strasbourg called on our Entraide-Solidarity association to help a highly indebted mother.

After health problems, this mother with 4 dependent children, 3 of them living in Congo, their homeland, lost her job and was declared disabled worker in 2014. During the following winter, gas bills increased considerably due to a high energy consuming social housing. In the meantime, the Social Services have found a new housing to the mother who still has to pay more than 1000 euros to the gas supplier.

The Entraide-Solidarity association has decided to pay the amount of €1,000 in order to help her to start this year with one big financial problem less.
