Arianna’s Journey to Stability

FAMILY #1 Arianna* is a mother of three children, Rosie* (age 16), Nicky* and Amy* (age 5). They have been couch hopping and sleeping in motels since 2016. She struggled to talk about her lowest point, when she ran out of money and would just drive all night to keep her children safe and warm. Arianna has been in multiple abusive relationships, starting with her mother when she was a child. She is a strong woman who is determined to break the cycle of homelessness for her and her children. All have begun therapy and the children are doing well in school. Her oldest daughter is set to graduate early and wants to join the military next year. Elizabeth House gave her a place to stay and assisted with her new place. *Names are changed to protect identity. When our volunteers arrived, they were so excited to make Taria’s house into a home. They quickly unload the truck and got to work. Arianna and Nicky couldn’t believe that this was their home. Nicky is a huge Warriors fan and loved his new bedroom. He said, “I don’t know how you did all of this. We just left here a few hours ago!”
