Together with Families helped a working mother move into a home

Destiny worked for more than a year without a home, often sleeping outside, before an emergency hotel stay and housing approval.

Together with Families says Destiny went to work every day for more than a year without a home. Some nights she stayed in a hotel, and many nights she slept outside, while her two kids stayed with their dad.

The group got her into an emergency hotel and walked with her through the process. A few months later, she was approved for housing, moved in, and her kids came home.

Together with Families wrote, “Destiny did the hard part.” Through Thanksgiving, the group is sharing more stories from families and neighbors, and asks people to give, volunteer or share its work.

“Destiny went to work every day for more than a year without a home. Some nights she stayed in a hotel. Many nights she slept outside. Her two kids stayed with their dad while she kept working and kept looking for a place they could all live. She didn’t need anyone to tell her to work harder. She needed help getting into a home she could afford. We got her into an emergency hotel and walked with her through the process. A few months later, she was approved for housing. She moved in, and her kids finally came home. Destiny did the hard part. She never stopped showing up for her family. The difference was that she wasn’t doing it alone anymore. Would you leave her some love in the comments? We want her to see how many people are cheering for her family. ❤️ Through Thanksgiving, we’re sharing more stories from the families and neighbors who make this work possible. If you give, volunteer, or share our work with others, you’re part of how this happens. Thank you. Everyone needs help sometimes. Everyone can do something. This is what keeping families together looks like. #justhelp #togetherwithfamilies”
