Last year on December 1, 2016, my daughter, granddaughter became homeless. We were in an unsafe environment and were moved to a hotel by Children and Youth and Families into a hotel. It was a difficult time and I didn't know how I was going to get back and forth to work. My co worker and Supervisor brought me back and forth to the job.
My daughter found out she was pregnant with her second baby while we were living in the hotel. She really rarely got out.
We found a house but couldn't move in until January 1st. We stayed at the hotel for three weeks but were told we needed to find another place to stay with six hours notice. We spent the next ten days staying with my daughter.
My mother always told me that when you are down people will show you rather they are friends or aquaintences. I found this to be true. My church family helped me a lot and so did my friends on facebook. Three of my coworkers, including my Supervisor and a former Co-worker. My family of course was there for me or some were.
People helped me with Christmas presents or giving me much needed rides. My church family made sure I had a refrigerator and even took me to Goodwill to purchase used furniture.
I'm in a safe place now and looking forward to my first Christmas in this home. I'm in a much better place than I was in before.
