Are you feeling overwhelmed by expenses you can’t afford?
You are not alone.
It is not uncommon for women 60 and older who live in our area to find themselves in occasional financial difficulty. Many older women are a single emergency away from the urgent need for financial assistance — the very assistance it is NSRAW’s mission to provide.
Individual Applicant Eligibility
NSRAW prioritizes women who have limited assets and demonstrate an urgent need for financial assistance. If you meet the following criteria, we welcome your application and the opportunity to assist you:
✓ You are at least 60 years old
✓ You have lived in Amesbury, Newbury, Newburyport, or Salisbury for at least one year – or have recently had to leave the area for financial or medical reasons
✓ You have limited assets
✓ You can demonstrate an urgent need for financial assistance
This application can be completed online on a computer, but not from a mobile phone or tablet. If you are working from a device other than a Mac or PC, please print out the blank application form and fill it out by hand. Thank you.
