Sonja’s journey to Bethany Women’s Center started when she was in a physical rehabilitation facility back in the Spring of 2018.
“I had a roommate that I bonded with and she spoke very highly about this place where she lived called N Street Village. She shared the ins and outs of the program. I later found myself at a loss, simply homeless after my stent at the rehab facility had ended. I showed up, did the intake, understood the operation and……. The love began.
I would come and actively participate in the groups, classes and activities. I made friends and gained a lot of inspiration. As I became more comfortable with the ladies and Bethany Women Center staff, I opened up about my housing situation and expressed how desperate I was for housing.
Within days word got around and folks were encouraging me to stay strong and be patient. Bethany staff was even clueing me in on the options available through N Street Village. Well, effective Friday, October 26th I received my keys to a place of my own.”
