Destiny & Michael

Destiny reached out to Providence House after her teenage son, Michael, was assaulted by their neighbor. She needed to move her family somewhere safe and help Michael through his traumatic experience.

She needed to move her family somewhere safe and help Michael through his traumatic experience.

Since all of the Family Shelters were full, Destiny brought her younger children to stay in the safe, loving environment of our Crisis Nursery while she worked to find a new home for her family.

While Destiny’s younger children were safe and cared for at Providence House, our Social Work Team helped refer Michael to support services, including connecting him with the Children Who Witness Violence Program.

With the support of Providence House, Destiny secured a safe, new home for her family, and our Social Work Team referred her to our friends at Humble Design who helped furnish it!

When her family reunited, Destiny told us, “I am very appreciative for all the help and support from Providence House and cannot thank them enough.
At times, I felt like there was no hope, but Nora(her Providence House Social Worker) always spoke positively, listened, and helped me get through things that my family and I endured. I am forever grateful.”
