Hope for a better future is what motivated Hotel Hope guest to use the last bit of money she had to buy plane tickets for her and her six-year-old son to leave California and fly to New Orleans.
Having lived in Louisiana for a time as a child, she knew from previous experience that the cost of living was significantly cheaper in Louisiana than in California. She also heard that kids were attending school in person, and wanted her son to have that experience.
After spending one night at the New Orleans airport, they received an invitation from a couple to join them in their home before going to Hotel Hope.
For our guest, pictured above with her son, being at Hotel Hope is "a blessing and better than she could have ever imagined." With help of the Hotel Hope dedicated staff, They have moved into their own apartment; her son is enrolled in school, and she is in classes to earn her GED with hopes of obtaining an office job.
