For over a year, Angela relied on food services to survive, facing the daily struggles of homelessness after losing her job and being overwhelmed by medical bills—with no family or friends to turn to. Living on the streets took a heavy toll, but everything changed the day she walked into the bridge shelter and learned about the housing programs. With courage and hope, she reached out for help and began the journey to rebuild her life.

Angela gained access to safe shelter, warm meals, job training, and mental health support. Through job readiness workshops and the steady support of her case manager, she landed a part-time job that soon led to a full-time administrative position. She saved diligently, furnished her new apartment, and enrolled in classes to continue her education. Today, Angela has a steady job, a place to call home, and a renewed sense of purpose—now giving back as a volunteer at NHCWV. Her story is a powerful reminder that with support and determination, recovery from homelessness is not only possible, but life-changing.
