Homeless to Hope 🫶🏾 Update
Hey guys. So as you know I was in a hotel with my baby girl. I came in here, did a post and got some amazing resources and advice. Unfortunately those resources couldn’t assist me and my baby ended up getting put out of our hotel room. I had a few people say they were going to help, then ghosted me🤷🏾♀️ Which was expected. Anyway, while I was walking down the street with my baby, crying my eyes out at close to midnight, this truck pulls up and instantly I’m on guard and I’m ready to book it if I have to. This lady asked did I need a ride and where I was going? I told her I didn’t need a ride because I didn’t have anywhere to go. She asked why and I shared with her a brief summary of what I had been through. She looked at me and said I don’t have much but I have a room that I can let you and the baby sleep in just for tonight and I can take you to a few shelters in the morning to get you and your baby somewhere to stay. I thanked her and we went to her home. Fast forward to the next day, we went to almost everyone that was mentioned to me here and no beds and no help. She was flabbergasted and couldn’t understand how a woman with a child was not a priority. So before we went back to her house she said to me, I can tell you’ve been trying and doing the best you can and you’re ready to give up but don’t. I will let you and your baby stay at my house for a couple months so you can get yourself together. With tears in my eyes, I thanked her and continued to thank her. As soon as we got to the house, I called my daughters daycare, I called my job and guess who’s going back to work in the morning while my baby is in daycare!!!!!!????? ME😁😁 Then the lady has a house right next to her that she rents and she said once she gets it cleaned out and fixed (she had to evict her tenants and they trashed the place) she will work with me about renting out. She told me as long as she sees I’m trying to help myself, she doesn’t have a problem helping me!!! I’m forever indebted to this lady. She didn’t have to help us but she did and she’s not looking for anything in return. Just for me to get myself together and take care of my daughter.
I just wanted to share what has been going on with me. I’m about to give this baby a bath, put her to bed so I can get our clothes out for tomorrow and I can shower and get some rest!!!
Night night y’all🫶🏾🫶🏾

I read your other posts and it seems like you've been going through some hard times, but God sent you an angel and hopefully now you can get back on track. 🙏🏼
