Katie* came to Becky's Place Shelter in April after a recommendation from her Department of Children's Services (DCS) Case Worker. She had an open case with them due to extensive drug use, mental illness, and neglect.
During her stay, she found employment and started saving her money. She applied for housing and was accepted at Clover Park Apartments in July. She worked with both her Becky’s Place and DCS Case Workers to achieve her goals. Katie started at home visits with her children and also began therapy with her children to work on reunification.
Becky's Place helped Katie with setting up her apartment so that she and both of her daughters could be comfortable. We also provided school supplies for the children. Katie stated that this will be the very first year she will be able to be involved in the children going to school and has high hopes that this is the start of a wonderful life together with her daughters.
