Making Independent Living a Reality for Homeless Families
http://www.harfordfamilyhouse.org/
I have always had a heart for giving. However, in 2009 I
made the decision to leave my home of ten years, and a severely abusive 13 year marriage, for the safety of my then 4 year old son. I was given a place in our local safe house for abused women, and then I was placed in a transitional housing program that serves homeless families. Through that program, I found healing and a new beginning in life. I still work with them today. When I graduated out of the program I felt so triumphant over my situation, and so grateful to a community that supported my son and I every step of the way. I did not have a lot to give, but I contributing $600.00 when I moved out of my apartment, specifically to be used for the next family that would be given shelter there. This is one of the most successful programs I have ever seen and I know the success is happening because the employees and volunteers, who are people from all over our county, care deeply about the success of the families they serve. It is now my honor and pleasure to be a part of helping our homeless families get back to a place of independent living.
