"The Drake House first allows them to get their lives back on course after suffering such a shock and blow to self-esteem as being homeless. It seems to me that actually takes quite a few months for some to regain perspective of self. The outstanding support they and the children get from Drake House staff and services is key for moms and kids at both Drake homes." From a Drake House Advocate #SuccessStorySunday #EndingHomelessness

Paula, a recent Drake House graduate learned not to be so hard on herself and to know when to ask for help. "I didn't even know there were organizations out there like the Drake House or HomeStretch," she says. "When I look back, I just really realized how blessed I am to be surrounded by so many people who care."
