 ESCAPE FROM AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP
Esutolia left an abusive marriage and was living out of her car while she worked at a local restaurant. A few months ago, she got a HUD Section8 voucher, subsidizing 70% of her rent. “I am so, so thankful for allowing me to start a new life. I have never ever lived in anything this beautiful and will take care of it like my home.”
