Client success story

I Want to Give Back

Georgette was a parent from the word ‘go’, having run away from home at 13 after her mother passed away and taking legal guardianship of her younger siblings at only 16.  She dropped out of school and worked two jobs to support herself and her siblings.  At 21, Georgette had a daughter of her own, followed by a son five years later.

Georgette worked hard to support her children, and eventually they got a home of their own.  Only a few months later, the house caught fire, and Georgette, her eight year old daughter and three year old son were forced into homelessness.

Fortunately, a co-worker told her about Bridge Communities; she called immediately but doubted she’d be accepted into Bridge’s Transitional Housing Program.
