families the opportunity to find
work, hope and a better future
When Destiny was laid off from her job a couple of
years ago, the usual things happened – she lost her
home and her means of support for her and her 16month-old son, Kingston.
And she was pregnant.
Destiny is one of the hundreds of single mothers
in Tarrant County who, every year, turn to shelters
because they find themselves without resources, a
support system and, in many cases, hope.
In Destiny’s case, she found temporary shelter at
the Salvation Army Family Life Center in Arlington
and Kingston found a place of his own at the
YWCAArlington Child Development Center.
“Every day the Mission Arlington bus would pick
up Kingston, take him to the YWCAArlington
Center, then bring him back to the shelter after
school,” says Destiny.
“And from day one, I have
been so appreciative of everything the staff and
teachers do for him.
