Why We Are Here

N was two months pregnant when she came into shelter with her three children.  She had experienced health problems which had caused her to lose her job and home.  She had no family support but she wanted to stay in the Indianapolis area.  After meeting with her case manager and setting up child care for her children, N began attending job training courses with Career Corner and Horizon House.  After two months N found employment and housing.  Her health had also begun to improve.

N moved into an apartment and had a healthy baby girl.  She is now a manager at a bagel shop and has health benefits for herself and her children.  She continues to either meet or talk over the phone with her case manager weekly to update us on herself and her children.  The children are enrolled in school and the youngest in day care.  One of her children is currently receiving speech therapy at Riley and may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance.
