After the WCPO Cincinnati story aired, many local Cincinnati residents rushed to find ways to help our Ally, Neima Jackson. They even set up a gofundme page to help fund the costs of repairs. You can view the full story from WCPO Channel 9 News below:

This past Monday, Neighborhood Allies was contacted by an employee at Mercy West Hospital about a patient who has been out of surgery since the early morning and had no way home. This situation shed light to yet another ongoing issue those with limited resources face that is overlooked by public services.

About three years ago, Neighborhood Allies had a young man in high school come to us for help finding a job. We were eager to help, but quickly realized there was a problem. Our newly found Aly did not own an ID.

Eviction:

Neighborhood Allies recently helped a family who was dependent on SSI Disability checks transport their belongings to a storage unit after being evicted. The elderly head of household had been hospitalized with coronavirus, so their rent had gone unpaid. The family tried to file for the CDC’s eviction moratorium to delay the eviction process, but was unapproved as they could not provide evidence that payments were missed due to the coronavirus.
