07 Apr A Journey of Strength and New Beginnings

A parent currently living in our Interfaith Hospitality Network with her two children was recently highlighted in her employer’s newsletter as a “Teacher Spotlight” and was later named Employee of the Month. When she arrived at Family Promise, she was starting over and quickly secured a job at a local childcare center the very next day. Over the past five months, she has worked closely with our case management team, building stability, and accessing benefits while her children settled into school. Volunteers help her stay on track by saving meals when she works late and creating a welcoming space for her children, who love drawing and have begun to make new friends. She hopes to advance her career in early childhood education and is excited about moving out of the emergency shelter into her own apartment.  With support and her own determination, she is building confidence, savings, and self-sufficiency for her family.
