We appreciate all of those who have participated in our Secret Santa Program by purchasing gifts for the children, adopting wish lists, wrapping presents, making charitable contributions, and more! At this time of year, we are always amazed by the big hearts of those in our community and we hope for your continued support through the holiday season.
I was struggling to keep a roof over our heads. After my relationship with my son’s father ended after 10 years, I found myself single while working full-time, and I couldn’t afford an apartment on my own. I moved into a tiny place with my mother and sister, but there simply wasn’t enough room for all of us to sleep in one room.
A friend told me about Transition House. I told myself that I had to get there. It was time for me to take care of myself and my son so I could change our lives for the better.
I am not going to lie—the program was hard, but I took advantage of everything Transition House offered like the job club workshops and parenting classes. My case manager helped me stay positive and on track for the future.
My son made friends and played soccer with them on the shelter playground. The volunteer dinner providers were sweethearts—I loved talking to them in the evening—and my son loved the treats they served after dinner.
Thanks to Transition House, my son and I now have an apartment of our own! I appreciate everyone there who helped me, and I am so grateful for the opportunities it gave me to live the life I want to live.
