Many Lowcountry families have no safety net, making it difficult to recover from the ordinary setbacks of life. We help families who are in transition following a crisis, such as illness, accident, loss of a home or even loss of a loved one.

Dove Fund assists clients who are actively trying to get back on their feet, stretching themselves to payoff back rent or power bills while raising kids and holding down a job.  Our typical client is a single working mom with several young children. We dial in our time, money, and networking prowess to help motivated clients so that they can stabilize their household and carry on with their lives. 

For example, $1,500 to keep a family from being evicted has more impact than $1,500 to pay a month's rent for someone who will immediately get behind again. We help those with a viable plan for moving forward.  We offer the helping hand that will get them over the final hurdles.

Recently, a single mom of three in Hollywood faced imminent eviction. She had a steady office job, but an unexpected illness and resultant surgery had kept her homebound for months. Despite having recovered and returned to work, the mom lacked the earning power to pay her debt. Dove Fund kept them from being turned out on the street.
