Aaron & Jen's Homeless Journey

We know how hard it is to face the challenges of homelessness, feeling hopeless and helpless, and struggling to survive. We also know how rewarding it is to find a way out of that situation, to discover your true potential, and to create a meaningful and fulfilling life. We have the skills, experience, and compassion to guide you through your journey of personal growth and empowerment.

We also want to raise awareness and advocate for the homeless problem in our community and around the world. We know that homelessness is not a choice, but a result of complex social and economic factors. We want to share our story and inspire others to take action and make a difference.

If you are interested in working with us, please contact us through our website. We offer a free consultation session where we can get to know each other and discuss your needs and expectations. We look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on your journey

Now, armed with their education and empathy, Aaron and Jennifer are on a mission. They offer a range of services to those in need.

Aaron and Jen’s CSW Journey

We became homeless when we lost our home of 8 years due to an illegal eviction. We felt hopeless and lost, wandering from place to place, looking for help. We decided to join a community support worker program at a nearby college, hoping to use our own experience to help others like us.

It was hard. We had to study while dealing with the daily struggles of finding food, clothes, and a safe shelter. We faced judgment, rejection, and financial problems. We had to fight our own fears and doubts. We never lost hope and faith, but we had our dark moments.

 

But we made it. Along the way we got support from a local food bank that gave us healthy food, clothes, and hygiene products. We also got help from our teachers and classmates who cheered us on and trusted us.

We finished our practicum hours at the same food bank that helped us, giving back to the community that cared for us. We graduated with our diplomas and moved into transitional housing.

 

But we didn’t stop there. We started a coaching website where we offer online coaching sessions for personal growth, as well as services for those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We also became homeless advocates, raising awareness for the issue.

 

We are now volunteering as community support workers, and helping others find hope and healing through our website. We are thankful for our journey and proud of our accomplishments.

We aim to be an inspiration to ourselves and others.
