Kirsten was experiencing great anxiety when she came to The House. She had been living in her car and, although she was working, she was sill burdened with debt. We helped her to improve her financial situation by starting a “By You For You” savings plan. When she faced car troubles, she was able to borrow from those savings and pay it back within a few months. She has since transitioned to our Next Step permanent shared apartment and is stable and functioning extremely well. Kirsten says the support she has received has helped her with life skills and to overcome much of her anxiety. She continues to work towards independence.
