Life has carved its mark on me through every challenge and victory. A single mom of four, my journey has been anything but easy. I’ve walked through the dark valleys of domestic abuse, faced the harsh reality of homelessness, and carried the weight of raising four children on my own. But through it all, I’ve held tightly to hope and an unshakable belief that better days were ahead. There was a time when each day felt like a battle for survival — raising 4 kids alone, there were moments when the fear and uncertainty seemed endless. Yet those struggles taught me resilience and the kind of strength that only a mother fighting for her family could understand. I learned to lean into faith, community, and sheer determination to pull us through. Slowly but surely, the pieces began falling into place. Step by step, I rebuilt my life — finding steady work, getting sober, saving every penny. I worked harder than I ever imagined possible, fueled by the dreams & eventually became a homeowner.
