Your direct connection brought an end to a families’ journey through homelessness
April 11, 2022
An unexpected loss led to a terrifying eviction. Cindy* and her daughter found themselves staying at a friend’s house, sleeping in the living room which they converted to their bedroom at night. Working two jobs as a homecare aide and hospital administrative clerk, while taking classes for nursing school admission, Cindy wasn’t discouraged, but motivated to do what was needed to take care of her daughter. Cindy got closer to her goal when she began receiving services from Bridge of Hope Lancaster. The first step was to find safe and sustainable housing.
Because of your direct response to the housing need we shared in our February eNews, we were able to bring an end to this young family’s journey through homelessness. Cindy and her daughter found housing because you responded and made a connection to a landlord. Thank you. Your willingness to share about the work of Bridge of Hope creates new opportunities for families facing homelessness to secure housing in an incredibly tight market. Cindy and her daughter are now matched with their group of Bridge of Hope Neighboring Volunteers from a local church, and are excited about building new relationships. Cindy is working hard to start nursing school soon.
Finding housing has been especially difficult for single mothers, but when you share your connections with landlords, who then partner with Bridge of Hope Lancaster, new beginnings are possible.
