Denise’s Story – Finding Stability for Her Family
Denise never imagined she would face homelessness while raising her four children. Life became a daily struggle— finding shelter, keeping food on the table, and trying to stay hopeful for her kids. She felt lost and unsure of where to turn. When she connected with Family Houston, things started to change. Instead of just being handed a list of resources, she found a team that truly cared about her future. They helped her access housing assistance, employment coaching, and financial guidance.
“The support I received was more than I expected. The staff engaged with me every week, even when I didn’t reach out first. It made a huge difference to know someone cared.”
