Nicole
Meet
Resident of
the NATASHA House
Hello, I am a single mother with two
children, who before coming to NATASHA
House, was in my own apartment working,
bringing home a decent paycheck, and doing
pretty good for my family and myself. Then
February 2012 the unexpected happened, I
lost my job and things took an unfortunate
turn. For 6 mos., I struggled to get back on
my feet and provide the security and stability
that my children needed. Determined to
overcome the setbacks and recover all we had
lost, I enrolled in Riverside’s nursing assistant
program but I continued to struggle with
securing housing. Then a close friend told me
about NATASHA House. I called, applied,
interviewed, was admitted, and my family’s
journey “to wholeness” began.
When I move in to NATASHA House, I had
no job, no joy, and very little hope; but since
I arrived and settled in, I’ve completed the
Riverside Nursing Assistant program and
preparing to complete my CNA certification,
I am gainfully employed as a Nurse’s assistant,
I completed Medication Aid Certification
Training, and I am currently enrolled in
TNCC’s Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
Pharmacy Technician Program with a
scheduled graduation/completion date of May
2016.
What NATASHA House has given me is
a new outlook on life. The HomeMakers
Program has provided my children and I with
a safe home; has met my family’s emotional
and physical needs; has empowered me with
the tenacity and commitment to continue to
move forward regardless of what obstacles
we face; has given me and my children the
confidence, courage, and tough love to hope,
keep the faith, and most importantly to be an
encouragement to someone else.
The How behind NATASHA House, Inc.
and its mission is the founder Pastor Deloris
Borum, its Board of Directors, its Executive
Director, Mrs. Brown, its staff, and its
community partners and how they selflessly
serve so many women and children. And how
the community through their miraculous
financial support helps to ensure that the
NATASHA House legacy will continue and
will grow. And finally, how those like me, who
benefited from NATASHA House’s programs
and/or services, proudly say by paying it
forward and getting the word out, “I am a
family to whom NATASHA House became
a bridge to wholeness!”
NATASHA House is a transitional home for homeless women and children
that empowers and equips them to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency.
