A New Future Together

Jennifer, a former Certified Nursing Assistant, fled domestic violence and is now on disability. She’s completing her GED and plans to return to work soon. With her three young children—Samuel, Hannah, and JJ—they had little furniture and no beds, making family life difficult. Now, they enjoy a real home with space to relax and be together.

A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE AND MORE Jennifer worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant before she fled a domestic violence situation. She is now on disability but completing a GED with plans to return to work shortly. She and her three young children Samuel, Hannah and JJ had virtually no furniture and no beds. It was hard to have a normal family life. Now they have a real home where they have space to relax and enjoy their time together. Jennifer and her children are overwhelmed with joy at their transformed home. Samuel ran and hugged the volunteers, one by one.
“Oh my Goodness, I can’t thank you enough!” Maria said when she saw her new home. “I never expected that it would be so nice. Now my children have a real home for the first time.”
