Beatitude House | Testimonials and Statistics About Beatitude HouseServicesTestimonials & StatisticsOne Resident's Story Before coming to Beatitude House, my husband, daughter, and I were staying in a program for people who were homeless, and we were desperately trying to get back on our feet. Unfortunately, my husband passed away during this time, and suddenly I was a single mother with a 10-year-old daughter. I did not know what I was going to do. We heard about a place called Beatitude House for people who were homeless. We checked all the boxes. We wanted permanent housing; we didn't want to keep moving. I believe my move into Beatitude House was a God thing. They said, "If you think you can do it, we can help you." And I said, "Well, I guess if you have faith in me, I'll have faith in myself." I wanted my daughter and me to get into a steady home; I wanted to plant our roots there. That is what the staff at Beatitude House and our h o m e offered us. Being accepted into Beatitude House was the best Christmas gift I could have ever asked for. That decision changed everything. My daughter has grown up a lot since being in the program. She attended prom and graduated from school. She helps me keep our household running by cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and budgeting. My goal is never to go backward. I'm thankful that Beatitude House has helped me. Now I am 53 years old, and some days I stop and think, "I did it." I feel like we were at the bottom, and now we're getting to the top, and we won't crash down again. If I met someone who was where we were in the past, I would say, "If anyone can do it, you can do it."
