Homeless Assistance

A combination of bad luck and some poor decisions in the past led us to living in our truck with just a little gas and no money to our names. Once we knew we had a place to call home and shower every night, we were both able to quickly gain employment, as a chef at Perkins and as a retail worker and to focus on other issues that had held us back in the past.

I’ve been on my own since I was 13. I fell into addiction and lost my world, including my children. I was homeless for five years until I found help through New Visions. I now have a home to call my own with my children and have the opportunity to work at New Visions as a way to give back and help others.

I was an alcoholic and got into some trouble. I was at my lowest and even spent some time in jail. My time at The Heal House changed my life – I’m now a better person – I’m sober, gainfully employed and looking forward to advancing in my career – and best of all, my children are back in my life.
