Neighbors* helping neighbors.

Volunteer-driven support for families in crisis due to detention or deportation of a family provider.

Our Mission

When a family loses a provider overnight, the bills don't wait.

When ICE enforcement removes a family's primary earner, the household has days—not weeks—before diapers, food, and formula run out, utilities shut off, and rent comes due. We bridge that gap directly, with no overhead, no bureaucracy, and full transparency. Our fund manager handles the paperwork so every dollar moves quickly to where it's needed.

While keeping a family housed and fed, Sussex Help coaches suddenly single mothers toward the resolution that works best for their family: finding childcare, getting a job, budgeting, and rebuilding their financial independence.
