When Miss K was forced to leave her home, she called Becky's Place. She was very distressed when she arrived and our staff spent time with her, calmed her down, and showed her a ray of hope and new possibilities. Miss K was initially afraid to let people get too close. She settled in and learned new life skills such as budgeting, cooking, and cleaning. She worked on developing her social and communication skills. Her case manager helped her to communicate more effectively and has been a source of strength throughout her stay.
During her time at Becky's Place, she found employment and earned her drivers permit and was accepted to college majoring in art and business. She hopes to pursue and began selling some of her artwork online. She has moved into her new apartment and is currently working our aftercare program which offers her resources and support. She hopes to give back one day, and we are excited about her journey.
