Terri* came to Becky’s Place in April of 2021. She had been living out of state but decided to come home to Bedford. Terri has a long history of trauma in her life and struggled putting the pieces together to move on and restart her life. She came to Becky’s Place to start over and utilize our services to help get her back on her feet.
While she was here, Terri found her dream job and was able to use some training that she had taken several years ago. We worked closely with her on a budget, and she began to save her money. She was able to get treatment for both her physical and mental health. While at Becky’s Place, Terri developed several support systems including friendships, attended group sessions, and personal journaling. She worked tirelessly on her personal goals every week. She was able to obtain all her personal documents and started a file to save important paperwork. She worked on her time management and we helped her make and set a daily routine. It makes a huge difference to develop a routine and stick to it when you have not had this in your life before. Terri developed self-confidence and worked on her self-care daily.
After seven months of working, saving, and putting all the individual pieces together, Terri found her own apartment! She was able to move into her very own place, for the first time in her life. It was hers, all hers! We helped her to find household items and furniture to set up her own home. She even had her own Christmas Tree! She has taken everything she was taught and rebuilt her life! We are very proud of her!
