At Homeless ID Project, we meet countless individuals and families who inspire us with their resilience and determination. Anissa is one such story—a mother of three who came to us with a clear goal: to secure a stable future for her young children.
Overcoming Obstacles: The Quest for Stability
Anissa’s journey began when she realized that obtaining birth certificates for her children was the first crucial step toward securing housing. Without these essential documents, her options were limited, but her determination was unshakable. Anissa turned to Homeless ID Project, where we were able to assist her in getting the necessary paperwork. With the help of our partners at UMOM, she was able to get her family on the path to finding a safe and secure place to call home.
Facing New Challenges: The Rising Cost of Living
Although Anissa had secured an apartment, she quickly faced a new challenge: her landlord announced a rent increase of over $300 per month. This sudden spike in cost made it impossible for Anissa to stay in her current home, forcing her to find new housing as quickly as possible. However, Anissa’s determination never wavered. She is fiercely committed to providing a stable environment for her children, and she’s not giving up on her dream of a safe, permanent home.
Looking Forward: A New Home and a New Goal
Despite the challenges, Anissa remains focused on her future. Her plan, once she secures new housing, is to save up for a car. This will not only provide her family with more stability but also offer her the independence she needs to continue building a better life for herself and her children.
Anissa’s favorite quote, “Take on the world or the world will take you on,” captures her approach to life. She is a woman who refuses to be defeated by circumstances, and her story is a powerful reminder of the strength that lies within every person experiencing homelessness.
