I. liked sleeping in until 7 a.m. For the last five months Pre had to get up at 5:30 every morning.” Eileen lost her job in December, wasn’t able to make her rent in January and soon found herself and her 8-year-old Corgi, Molly Mae, experiencing homelessness. *1 count my blessings for women’s shelters,” she says. “Molly and I did have. a. place to sleep inside. We didn’t have to sleep out on the streets.” In the; five months she was homeless,' Eileen searched for jobs, volunteered at the hospitality center of S t Andre Bessette Catholic Church, and regularly sold Street Roots. “I’m really gratèfui for my loyal customers at St. Andre and Floyd’s Coffee Shop in Old Town.: I’m also grateful and thankful for the-support I get from my co-volunteers and staff at S t Andre Bessette.” Working with Transition Projects and Home Forward, Eileen was able to get^keys to an apartment along with a yearlong guarantee of rent and utilities to help her ; get back on her feet. “I’m really paranoid about losing my . keys,” Eileen says with a laugh. “I haven’t B had house keys in Sve months.” “I can’t wait to get my pictures and personal belongings in the apartment. It will' feel more like a home,” says' Eileen. '♦ But to Molly Mae the apartment already is home, “Molly loves running to the top of the stairs. She waits for me, then she s| barks. She already knows what apartment is ours.”' * ' • . , jij - Cole Merkel 1 3 1 S 3 S 3 n s s ‘f i |± H O S » w 0 a s i A • s s 3- S 1■ s N 0 1 3 Ü1 H i p s d 3 N 3 H 1 3■ a 0 d n a i N 0 i 1 Û n d 1 s N 0 □ y 3 fi 1 1 a 0 d 3^ [ n I è 1 0 N 1 d 3 d 3 d d 3 Q d 0 3M VJj ¡3 A y 3 H is" 1 N 1 V T N 3.' d y d d V s d 1 3 V M V ■ s 3- Ft 1 0’ s 0 Iv 3 a y r d n 3 Is 0 al 3 3 V 1 V S IAI 3 a 3 r 3 S T'; y 1 Ì V 1 N 3 B n d a s N i d Q B S 3 0 d 3 ;z.
