The road from here to home…
…breaks old cycles and creates healthy new ones
At four years old, Wendy knew what it meant to be homeless and to fear physical abuse. She was exposed to domestic violence all through childhood and so it seemed “normal” to her…so normal that when she began to experience abuse in her own relationship, she had no frame of reference for genuine love, safety, or a stable home life. But once Wendy realized that she and her boys were in real danger, she fled. She knew it would mean sleeping in their car and possibly giving up her dream of finishing her degree… But thanks to Door of Hope and the Casa program, Wendy’s dream is still alive! “When the case manager told me I’d be able to stay there and keep going to school and work part-time, I was so thrilled, because this worked perfectly for me. It was such a blessing.” Wendy and her sons are now safe and she is on the path to teacher certification. More importantly, they are all on the road to home.
