Crystal is a 29 year old mom of four kids. Her youngest, a boy, is 2 years old. Her daughters are ages 10, 12, and 13. Crystal was referred to Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN; multi-church homeless shelter program) through one of the kid's school counselors. At that time, she was living in "deplorable conditions," apparently being "scammed" by her landlord who knew he had control and Crystal had "no voice" to make any changes. Since entering the IHN program, she has been working cleaning hotel rooms. She's saved $1000 so far to help her and her family get into her own housing.
Crystal will successfully graduate from the IHN program at the end of January and will be moving into her own an apartment. She will have a few furniture items that have been donated by others from the various churches participating in the IHN program. She is in need of 5 beds (4 for the children and 1 for her).
We started on them last night.
