Emergency financial aid

Emergency financial aid is temporary assistance provided to individuals or families facing unexpected financial hardships, such as job loss, medical emergencies, or natural disasters. Its purpose is to help cover essential expenses like rent, utilities, or food while they navigate through urgent situations. This aid typically comes from government programs, nonprofits, or institutions, and is designed to offer quick relief without long-term obligations. It does not solve the underlying issues but provides crucial support during times of crisis, helping people stabilize their situation until they can regain their footing.
