A Home for Her Family

"With God, I'm working toward the home that my family deserves."

For three years prior to the pandemic, we were rent­ing a beautiful house. Then I got an unexpected letter saying my landlords were selling. I had thirty days to find a new place for myself and my five children. Not much was available in my price range, so when I found a trailer, I felt like I had to take it. In my spirit, I felt bad because my kids had enjoyed such a nice house before. I didn’t have much of a choice because rental prices had risen so much.



Once we were settled, I was excited to find a new, better-paying job. I started saving everything I could to put together a down payment for something of our own. It was hard to pay rent, save, and care for my family, so when extended family invited us to stay with them, we moved out of state.
