On June 8th, I moved into my apartment!
After having been on the housing list for more than three years, it’s a dream come true. It took a lot of hard work and determination for me to get to this point but it was well worth it.
It’s a two bedroom apartment in Oxon Hill, Md. It’s a very good area and very close to Metro. On top of that, my children, 15-year old Javonna and 13-year old Rasheeda, are coming to live with me. Being reunited with my kids is the best thing that could happen for me and my children.
I also know it’s going to be a big challenge and a lot of responsibility. But I’m willing and able to handle it because…I am homeless no more!
