From Shelter to Home: Anna’s Journey

“This cannot be my apartment. It’s too much. It just cannot be where I live!” For a year and half “Anna” has been living in shelters with her three young children under 6. Her new apartment was empty except for blow up mattresses when we arrived. Anna’s kids made this sign to welcome us as we loaded in furniture, beds, washer/dryer, dishes, pots and pans, toys and more! In order to keep the family safe, we cannot show their faces. But trust us when we say, there were many tears, excited children and one very relieved mom!
