The Place That Gave My Family and I a Start

I moved to Chapel in in 2004 into IFC'S HOMESTART TRANSITIONAL HOUSING.  I WAS ONE OF THE FEW WOMEN WHO DIDN'T RESIDE FOR THE FULL YEAR IT USUALLY TAKES FOR FAMILIES TO GET PREPARED TO MOVE OUT. I WAS DETERMINED AND HAD A LIST OF GOALS WHICH I BROUGHT WITH ME FROM THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER I HAD LIVED IN FOR 7 MONTHS IN LOUISBURG NC. WITH 3 CHILDREN AGES 9, 7, AND 7MONTHS I MOVED OUT INTO OUT INTO OUR APARTMENT WITHIN 2 MONTHS. MY STORY WAS FEATURED IN THE IFC NEWSLETTER. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH MANY STRUGGLES BUT KEPT MY FAITH IN MY CREATOR, AND WAS EVEN AFRAID FOR MY CHILDREN AND I FOR YEARS. GOD HAS TAKEN AWAY THE FEAR AND REPLACED IT WITH A POWERFUL TESTIMONY IF HIS LOVE FOR US ALL. FOR ANY PERSON NEEDING HELP WITH SHELTER,  FOOD, CLOTHING,  AND OTHER RESOURCES,  CONTACT IFC. THEY CAN BE A GREAT HELP TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
