Jessie Found a Home
Jessie’s life was full of broken promises and missed opportunities, but she never gave up. After being unhoused for over 10 years, Jessie found her way to Sojourner Truth House. Thanks to your support, she moved into permanent housing just before Christmas.
Jessie came to STH’s day center previously but left when family members promised space in their homes. Their broken promises led Jessie to experience a pattern of unstable housing.
She returned to STH and was hospitalized due to unaddressed medical issues. Jessie was more determined than ever to obtain permanent housing.
As her health improved, Jessie began attending classes daily at Sojourner Truth House. Financial literacy classes helped her with budgeting, credit repair, credit building, and savings.
Career classes helped Jessie overcome employment barriers, write a resume, and practice interviewing skills. She also had access to classes in life skills, parenting, recovery, and goal setting.
Jessie tells new participants that commitment is the key to housing success.
Your commitment to helping others gave Jessie the boost she needed to find her own success story. She’s become a great role model to others, proving that despite any number of setbacks, they should not give up. Supporters like you provide life-changing aid at STH’s day center.
