They moved to this area to stay temporaliy with a couple of "friends" and the friends turned them out quickly as they didn't get jobs off the bat. Had CASE not helped them they would have been homeless. But due to Zella stepping in and helping them they will have an apartment at the beginng of next week and My facility hired Moma and the Dad already has a job.

It is! But Zella is like me, big hearted and wanting to do the right thing. She shuffled for the past three weeks to find this family a place to stay each night since their unfortunate circumstance. Now they both have jobs in the area and will both be ok along with their kids. Zella is a woman I admire so very much.
