Kelli is a young, single mom of three. She, her children, and
her mother were all living together in a rental property before the storm. After the storm, they didn’t
have anywhere to go, as there aren’t a lot of rental properties in the area, and the few that are available are
much more expensive than they were before the storm. Kelli, her mom and the kids moved into a FEMA trailer in
front of her grandmother’s house while they tried to figure out what to do and where they were going to live long term.
Kelli had a small inheritance from one set of grandparents, her dad gave her some money and then she borrowed some
more money from her other grandparents and putting all that together, she was able to find a house just a couple of doors
down from her grandmother’s home. She has been working two jobs for months so that, little by little,
she can put her house together. When we called them to let them know we were going to be able to work
on the house, Kelli’s mom’s first response was relief that her daughter could relax a little bit after two years
of the immense stress caused by trying to figure out where not only she and her kids were going to live, but her
mother as well.
