Please consider a monthly recurring donation. Even a small monthly donation is the most important, most effective way you can help.

* Sussex Help is not a formal legal entity. We are a group of neighbors who got together to help our neighbors through a difficult time. Donations to the Sussex Help Fund are managed by The Greater Lewes Foundation, a non-profit organization that enables groups like ours to function with full transparency and financial accountability.

— 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.

Stability is the most powerful form of help.

Recurring donations, even small ones, let us promise families predictable support through the months it takes to find footing. Your contribution is tax-deductible and managed transparently by the Greater Lewes Foundation.
