“Having a safe place to stay with my kids after prison changed our lives… We just moved into a new apartment. It feels so good to be a family again, finally some bright light at the end of this dark tunnel.”
Marta stood in the doorway of her new apartment, the keys still warm in her hand. For a moment, she didn’t move—she just breathed it in. The quiet. The safety. The possibility. After months of uncertainty, she and her two children finally had a place to call home.
The apartment wasn’t large, but Marta was grateful.
Marta’s journey had been a long one: Navigating leaving prison, finding steady employment, and working hard to regain custody of her children. Through it all, she’d kept going, driven by love and the belief that things could get better.
Sponsors had been there at each step. With the support of her mentor and case manager, Marta found not just an apartment but stability—a chance to rebuild. They helped her secure employment, a new home, and even furniture for it.
For the first time in a long time, Marta felt something she had almost forgotten.
Hope.
