Finally, a Home of Their Own

When Susie reached out to Love INC, she did not need money. What she did need was guidance and resources.

Clearinghouse staff and volunteers took the time to listen to Susie’s story. They learned about her strengths and struggles, and her hopes and dreams. With this knowledge, the Clearinghouse was able to brainstorm with Susie to figure out the steps she needed to take in order for their family to live more independently.

Susie was referred to Habitat for Humanity, and Marion County Housing Authority. She is now in the process with Habitat for Humanity, to have a home built through them. The Clearinghouse Coordinator referred her to a company to apply for a work-from-home job. In the beginning of August, Susie started a new job working from home. The company sent her the equipment she needed to do her job, and allows her schedule to be flexible enough to pick up her children from school. The schedule works out for her family, and she is thrilled to be receiving a paycheck.

Before she called Love INC, Susie could not imagine a life that was different from the one she was living. YOUR generosity provided the opportunity for her to call in and connect with people that were there to help her think about options she had never considered and didn’t know existed. Because of that, her life is beginning to look different. Imagine where she’ll be in a year, if she stays this course. Your partnership makes it possible.
