Help a Savannah mom of 5 whose story reflects local increase in first-time homelessness due to the pandemic
This 28-year-old single mom and her five kids, ages 2 to 10, were forced to move from their Savannah rental home this past spring when Robinet’s hours were cut at her housekeeping job at the Courtyard Marriott and she could no longer afford rent.
Since then, she and her children have lived in roughly 15 Savannah hotels during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Her story is heartbreaking and reflects the increase in first-time homelessness in Savannah due to the pandemic.
