“For several years, my husband and I were happily married and living a good life. At least, that is what I thought until I caught him cheating on me while I was pregnant with his child.
I was blindsided and devastated. Instead of an apology, he proceeded to tell me how I wasn’t enough for him and the only thing connecting us was our child. I was left alone, wondering how I was going to support myself and my child having never worked a day in my life. I was terrified of the prospect of raising my unborn child alone.
In my frantic search for support, I came across Nisa Homes. In one phone conversation, I was reassured that whatever my husband threw at me next, whether it involved lawyers, extended family, or even the other woman, I would deal with it when it came because I now had a support system of my own.
Once I arrived at Nisa Homes, the amazing caseworkers began teaching me about all the social services I would be eligible for, that would make my life as a single mother easier. I was able to secure a job right away, and received assistance in applying for subsidized childcare, which helped me save a lot more money.
Fast forward two years, I now live in a safe apartment and have a new job. I have then since met a lovely man who wants to share his life with me. Being secure in the knowledge that I was capable of living life alone, I have been able to go into this new relationship with a much healthier mindset and am now happily married and living with my new husband and two lovely children!”
