Jewels

Jewels is a 21-year-old mother of two sons. When she started receiving guaranteed income payments, she planned to move with her two boys into a place of their own in East Baltimore. She can now afford rent thanks to the $1,000 monthly payments that Baltimore City started sending her in August. Before guaranteed income, Jewels’ situation was difficult. “I was struggling, and I couldn’t afford to get personal stuff and important stuff that I needed.” Jewels says the noticeable change after receiving the payments is “It helped me get more stuff for my sons and support them and myself.”
