A client who is in an abusive relationship came to the office recently in need of housing & food. During the search for housing we helped her make contact with the landlord for low income housing. Fortunately there was an apartment that had come available that day. As we continued to work on helping her on the first month’s rent deposit, a local person called wanting to donate money to help someone in need. Everything started coming together for the client, & you could see her spirits being lifted. As she was without transportation, the client now had a ½ mile walk to work from her new apartment. The same hour a new warm heavy coat was donated to our office. What an amazing day for the client who had felt so down. Watching her walk out of the office with her head up and smiling, we knew we had helped her struggles become a little easier.
