„ During the month of May a
young woman about twenty seven
ffltwars old, accompanied by her mo
*ner, came to the office of Asso
ciated Charities and requested help
for herself and three little chil
dren, all under five years of age.
She stated that her husband had
deserted her and the children and
that she had absolutely no means
of support. A fourth child was
expected in the near future. She
had been sent to Associated Char
ities by the case worker for Hali
fax County Welfare Department
yfedio knew the family and felt that
only temporary assistance would
be necesary.
The woman did not know the
husband’s whereabouts, but she
had contacted the local police
court here and sworn out a war
rant lor his arrest, charging non
support. Her mother, with whom
she is now living, was not able to
take care of them since she her
self receives Old Age Assistance
from Halifax County| The woman
was born and raised in Roanoke
Rapids. The case worker for Asso
ciated Charities verified these facts
before any assistance was given.
A weekly food order has been
given this family for about six
weeks. Medicine for the woman, as
prescribed by her physician, has
also been provided by Associated
Charities. The fourth child was
born in June.
Since no trace of the husband
has been found, and assistance
by Associated Charities is o»lj
temporary, application for perma
nent aid from Halifax County has
been made. This woman will re
ceive, in the very near future
regular financial assistance knowr
as ADC, or Aid for Dependeni
Children. Meanwhile Associated
Charities is providing the familj
with necessary food,, including
fresh milk for the children.
