Avril

Avril, a single mother, came to The House after an emergency hospital stay. She had recently lost her home and had been living in hotels and with friends, all while trying to work and raise her child. Avril quickly adjusted to life at the House. She started working two jobs and saving for her future. Avril excelled at budgeting and continued to build on this skill while at The House. Avril had dedicated her life to raising and supporting her child as well as other family members. At the House, she was able to focus on herself for the first time and assess her needs. Avril had neglected her own health to focus on others and while at The House, she got health insurance and was connected to both physical and mental health providers. Avril moved on from the House after 3 months to her own apartment where she could continue to build on the skills she learned at The House and raise her child.
