As a single parent, when I lost my housing it was devastating. The Women's Center worked tirelessly to locate and secure, safe, temporary shelter for myself and 3 children. With their assistance, we moved from the shelter into government housing. From there I was able to locate permanent housing. I continued attending college, and now have a Master's Degree in Psychology: Human Behavior. As a result of their help, I will begin volunteering with the organization in hopes of assisting other women in need of housing.
