Dear Family Promise Metrowest Supporters,
When I became a young, single parent, I had
trouble maintaining my family’s stability, struggling to
meet basic needs like shelter, food, and clothing for myself
and my daughter. We had already experienced two emergency shelters
when once again we needed urgent assistance during the peak of the pandemic in 2020.
Unfortunately, with my unemployment benefits, I was making $50 too much each month
to qualify for emergency shelter. So I resorted to living in hotels, but it was extremely
costly and only a temporary roof. After extensive research I learned about Family Promise
Metrowest and how they evaluate families based on need and not income.
They swiftly responded to my request for immediate aid, and since that initial encounter I
have been thriving in ways I didn’t envision. I was paired with a Family Coach who was
with me every step of the way. She was patient and sincere and went above and beyond
to make sure my daughter and I were seen, heard, and accomplishing goals. In our
biweekly meetings, we constructed a detailed budget that helped me establish financial
literacy. In addition, Family Promise offered several courses that focused on essential life
skills such as good tenancy, financial management, and so much more.
These thoughtful programs opened many doors for me as someone who is determined to
achieve at life. I learned so many fundamental skills that have helped me gain
scholarships, permanent housing, and a healthy savings account. I recently completed my
Associate’s degree, which I couldn’t have done without the continuous support from the
staff at Family Promise, and now I'm working toward my Bachelor's. I’m not worried today
about how my household will eat or where we will sleep—I worry about how I can
maintain Dean’s List status.
This journey I’ve been on with Family Promise has been inspiring to say the least. I am
deeply grateful for being able to share my story with others who are experiencing
homelessness and hopelessness. These two obstacles are heavy burdens one can face and
overcome, especially with Family Promise guiding you and your family. I can attest to how
they contributed to my fulfillment and success in creating a stable life for myself and my
daughter, who deserves it most of all.
