Crisis Confidential: Johnette’s Journey

“Johnette Hill, a single mother of four, was experiencing homelessness and financial hardship. During this period, she was raising three of her young children — ages 10, 6 and 4 — while living in hotels. Without a car, Johnette relied on walking and public transportation to commute to work, often arriving late. Eventually, she lost her job. Determined to support her family, she found work at a Waffle House near the hotel where they were staying, paying $400 a week for a single room.”
