Please join us in congratulating Angel and her daughter for ending their homeless situation by getting into a place of their own. We built a budget with Angel and when she found a place that fit this budget we were happy to pay their security deposit so they could move in. Read their full story below:

Where we were living before we became homeless:
Me and my child are homeless living pillow to post or sleeping in my car, often times family allows my child to sleep at their home but there is no room for both of us, in that case I will feed, bath and put her to bed before I leave for the night, I usually try to park close to where my child is because, due to go and get her ready for school

How I became homeless:
February 13, 2019 I quit my second job due to being sexually harassed by my supervisor who received No repercussionsa, February 15th 2019 I was fired from my 1st job!! Which caused me and my child to become homeless!! I was living paycheck to paycheck and unable to save money

How long I’ve been homeless:
March 1st 2019, which was the following month after I was fired from both jobs I was unable to pay rent, so I was able to move in with my mother for a limited time which was 1mnth due to her home being over crowded, April 1st 2019 I had to leave my mothers home in which I began to sleep in my car
