“My life before I stepped into Solutions for Change was chaotic. I felt crushed and devastated. I needed to put pieces of my heart, my mind and my life back together.
After facing domestic abuse, my two boys and I ended up sleeping on the floor of my sister’s living room for months. This was not the example that I had planned on setting for my children. I did not want my boys to grow up thinking that it was okay to hurt a woman. With an eviction, a very low credit score and no down payment, Solutions did what nobody else would do and they took us in.
Stable housing is just the beginning of what Solutions has to offer. This program has taught me so much about myself and my co-dependency. I have learned to establish healthy boundaries and have been educated in finance, parenting, emotional intelligence and servant leadership. I have completed a certificate in Massage Therapy and have completed a 1,000 hour Holistic Health Practitioner program. I am a first generation student with two certificates of achievement with highest honors, and am working on a Business Administration degree. I have learned about self-love, self-care, and that I must identify my needs, ask for help, and have a voice. When I take care of myself, I can take care of others.”
