"I am a mother and woman who was trying to get her life together, not just for me but for my kids. If my kids can see that I am trying and doing it, then that will show that they can do it too. My kids are the reflection of who I am."
We are so proud of Kayla and congratulate her on moving into housing! We could tell you more about her story, but Kayla tells it best.
"I was looking for help. It was stressful, I was giving up. But then BEDS Plus called me. I initially gained access to obtaining assistance through getting in contact with the Prevention Team and that was a blessing. I shared that I was going back and forth and when I was adopted, I was going house to house. It did not affect me too much but it affected my baby. She got comfortable with being confused and I felt like I was not providing, and it hurt me the most. It was not fair to her. The biggest accomplishment is putting a roof over her head, feeding her. And being able to provide is the best feeling as a mother doing everything I should. The LATH program has truly helped. It is an inspiration to gain independence as a woman, as a mom, and has helped me grow."
Congrats, Kayla! We are honored to have been part of your journey to housing and wish you nothing but the best in your new home.
