"They provided me everything I needed to get back on my feet!"In the Fall 2007, Bernice Averill went from a being a stay-at-home mom of three to an unemployed, single mom struggling against seemingly impossible odds. Newly employed but with little support as she attempted to get back on her feet, Averill struggled to find long-term, secure housing for her family. "I was so stressed and worried... Averill said. There were no options for staying with family. I didn’t know what was going to happen from day to day." Averill and her girls entered CFR’s Short Term Housing Program and began working together with a CFR case manager to ensure she could maintain an independent and self-sufficient life for her family. "They provided me everything I needed to get back on my feet, Averill said. They taught me how to budget and save my money and even how to keep my place clean and safe for my daughters." After 90 days, Averill moved her family to permanent housing and began a journey of success that today includes two promotions with her job. Currently a Level III manager with Domino's, Averill owns her home and looks to be promoted to general manager of her store over the next few months. She hopes to buy a bigger home in the future. "God blessed me, Averill said. Today I am spending more time with my kids and watching them grow up."  |
