“I appreciate the fact that no matter how difficult things seem, the agency is still willing to help participants become better people.” Shaneva “The accessibility of the case worker, the resources I was pointed to and without transportation having someone to drive me around to get childcare and other things like Social Services was an amazing help.” Kealita Greetings from Director,
It is my pleasure to share our story with you. Firm Foundation of Virginia opened its doors in June 2015. We admitted our first two families in August 2015, in a rental property in Hampton, VA. In October 2015, I opened my home to our first family in Portsmouth. Since that time: A. Received over 100 housing request; Conducted 35 intake interviews B. House 9 women and 10 children; 2 out of 9 women housed- moved into own apartment C. 2 residents received salvation during stay in program D. 2 residents purchased vehicles E. 4 obtained jobs after upon entering program F. 10 women completed financial education classes We are excited as we embark on our expansion through our "Give Hope to a Mother" campaign we launched in April 2019. Our journey continues.. .... Blessings, Melissa Peele Founder/Director
