Hatiana’s Story
When her rental home's mold problem was not addressed, Hatiana knew she needed to move so her family could have a safe place to live. However, finding an affordable home in which to move became increasingly difficult.
She said, "I was tired of living under financial stress, and I wanted to provide a home and stability for my three children."
Currently, she and her children, ages 5, 10, and 15, are living in an Extra Mile Home, while she participates in the Extra Mile money management program. She meets weekly with her budget coach, Andrea.
Throughout their 5 months of meeting, Andrea has seen a large shift in how Hatiana views not just money but life. “Hatiana is changing how she operates in her day-to-day life to provide a legacy for her kids.”
On top of participating in coaching, working a full time job, and being present for her kids, Hatiana meets with one of our housing coaches to prepare for moving into her own home.
Meanwhile, her children are enjoying decorating their transitional home for Christmas!
