Single mom of two boys & two girls
Before receiving help from Family Promise, I was living in a shelter with no outside support. My relationship with my children was stressed and negative. My children were unhappy due to living in a shelter and not having much money, nice clothes, or even fun life experiences. I was in a very tough place in my life before receiving services from Family Promise.
​
Family Promise has been a supportive voice in my ear as I struggled, a partner in footwork for hunting down resources and appointments, a completely crucial component to my success.
My family is finally stabilizing and thriving. Having someone alongside me to encourage me, aid me in resources, and advocate for me made the complete difference. Not only does my family have a beautiful, safe place to live, but we are thriving as people—learning more and moving past barriers that have held our entire bloodline back. We are striking a new path for our family, for generations to come. This would not have been possible without the support from Iris and Family Promise.
