Family Story and Situation: Natalia was recently evicted from her home of eleven years. With no help to move belongings, she lost nearly everything. She is now living in the backyard of her ex husband’s home, where conditions are unstable and emotionally difficult. She shared that he has been verbally harsh, which has affected her deeply.
Her bathroom does not work, she has no reliable transportation due to lack of insurance and registration, and her health requires regular doctor visits that she has been unable to attend. She is disabled and trying to hold things together for her children, each of whom is facing their own challenges. She expressed feeling overwhelmed but grateful for the opportunity to ask for help.
