Persistence Pays Off-Angelica’s Story

Persistence Pays Off-Angelica’s Story

Angelica walked through the doors of Serving You Ministries for the first time in August of 2019. She had become a single mother in early 2019 and suffered from a stroke. Both of these events led to a lack of housing and a low credit score.

However, Angelica continued to fiercely fight for a better life for her three children. When the Serving You volunteer asked for an address, Angelica gave the address for a hotel. This led to an application for ELI and Thrive Together.

Even with a great job, housing application after application was turned down because of her history. Finally, through the persistence of Angelica and the partnership of ELI, Angelica moved into a home in early November 2019. She received support during her family’s four months under homelessness and will continue to receive support.

We are so proud to know and partner with Angelica.
