Search Menu Jessica and her young daughter came to stay at Emmaus when her ex-boyfriend moved out and she just couldn’t afford the apartment on her own income. Despite working nearly full-time at a local coffee shop, the rents in the area were just too much. She tried for a little while to swing it on her own, but eventually found her way to the shelter. Jessica was scared and nervous to come to Emmaus, but the staff made her and her daughter feel welcome. “You’re just not a number, they remember you,” Jessica said. “I am big time grateful for all they did to help us.” Jessica worked while in shelter, except for the few weeks after the start of the pandemic when her daughter was home from school and most things had shut down. She was grateful during that time to have a safe place to stay, especially when she couldn’t work for those few weeks. “I don’t think people realize how hard it is to make ends meet,” she said. “If you are making minimum wage, it just isn’t enough. The whole time I was at Emmaus I was looking for apartments and there was nothing.” Last fall, Jessica was given the opportunity to move into one of Emmaus’ permanent affordable apartments. She jumped at the chance. Now that she’s stably housed, Jessica said she’s able to focus on her career path and is looking into schooling to become an esthetician.
