Family Story
This family is persevering through homelessness while Mom works and searches for stable, affordable housing. Firefly is helping navigate applications, short-term lodging, and next steps so a teen can reunite at home once an apartment is secured. Short-term goals include emergency shelter and basic essentials; long-term goals center on budgeting, parenting support, and furnishing a safe space. Holiday traditions remain a source of calm—they decorate cookies, slip into Christmas pajamas, and read the story of Jesus together. Their resolve is steadfast. With support, a new front door is within reach.
