When I met you in 2017, you were in the shelter. Now, you are in an apartment via HousingPlus. Because of the help you have gotten from HousingPlus, you went back to college and graduated. Self, you have come so far from the broken woman in the shelter. You smile more, you feel safer, you are happier, you have a support system and hour have people you can call family. Now, that you are a Registered nurse, I’m so proud of you, self. Keep the good work up. Never give up!
