" After leaving my abusive husband in the middle of the night, I arrived at Becky's House Emergency Shelter with my three children, no money and nowhere to go. The staff was extremely welcoming and immediately began working with me on obtaining custody of my children, divorcing my husband and finding an apartment. Today, my children are healthy, happy and excelling in school. None of this would have been possible without the care and support of the Shelter staff - I am forever grateful. "
- Sheila V.
