When Stacey and her children arrived at the National Home, they were looking for more than just shelter—they were searching for hope, stability, and a fresh start. Thanks to the support of generous donors like you, they found exactly that.
At the National Home, Stacey’s children thrived. They took part in work crew activities, after-school and summer programs, and community events that brought joy and connection. With a shared passion for music, they were also able to take piano lessons throughout their time at the Home—an opportunity made possible by donor support. Stacey’s oldest has since graduated high school and begun working full-time, while her youngest continues to flourish in high school.
Stacey came into the program with clear goals: achieve financial independence, raise her credit score, and save for a home. With no rent or mortgage to worry about, she worked hard and saved diligently, managing her finances with care and determination. Her efforts paid off—she increased her credit score, built up her savings, and eventually became a proud homeowner.
Throughout her journey, she worked in the restaurant industry and took on independent cleaning contracts, providing both income and the flexibility she needed to be present for her children. As her family grew more independent, she set her sights on securing full-time employment with benefits—and she accomplished that goal as well. She now holds a stable job that offers health insurance, retirement options, and long-term security.
Stacey’s story is just one example of how the National Home empowers families to rebuild their lives—and it’s only possible because of people like you.
