My name is Jasmin. After ten years in the same residence, I experienced homelessness starting three years ago. I am also a mother to two college students.

I have two sons currently in college. My eldest has ADHD and is working hard to complete his degree. Unfortunately, the cost of living in hotels and Airbnbs has depleted my savings and severely damaged my credit. I am currently $8,000 in credit card debt.

We are currently living in an unlicensed basement with poor air quality and one room that lacks heat. While I have applied for affordable housing, I must repair my credit and show that I have no outstanding debts to remain eligible. This opportunity could arise in the next couple of months. Any assistance I receive would be greatly appreciated as I work to provide a safe, stable home for my family.
