    Hi [social worker’s name],

Could you send a request to Joe Andruzzi Foundation for us? They offer up to $800 per request for car insurance, car payments or repairs, rent, mortgage, utilities and other approved nonmedical household bills, and it has to come from you. Their page is here: https://joeandruzzifoundation.org/how-we-help/

I’ll bring the financial documentation for contributing household members to our next visit. Thank you for everything you do for us.
