Peter and Jennifer’s Story

Peter relocated to Columbus with his wife and young daughter for a job as a commercial pilot.  However, a few days into the job, he was let go after the discovery of a couple of medical issues. Fortunately, one issue was resolved quickly and the other one can be fixed after a short period of treatment.  But in the meantime, Peter and his family were stuck in a new city without an income.  Peter has been trying to get by with episodic jobs, but it’s not enough to pay the bills and put food on the table.

“We had no option but to seek help,” said Peter.  “If you had asked me two months ago, I never thought we’d be in this situation.  It just happened overnight, literally.”  His wife Jennifer added, “We left everything to come here and then when he lost the job, we’re just desperate.”

Peter and Jennifer were visiting the LSS Food Pantries for the first time.  “It definitely makes a huge difference,” said Peter.  “It’s taken some pressure off our shoulders.”  Peter is hopeful that his medical issue will be quickly resolved and he’ll be back to work as a pilot soon.  “We’re really, really hoping that we won’t be in this situation much longer,” he said.
