“Even when you work hard, you can get stuck in a situation with no resources,” Kenya said of the time she spent homeless. When she couldn’t keep up with her bills, she was forced to move into her sister’s house with her five children ages 3 to 14.

“When you’re stuck, people think you’re not trying,” she said. “I know how it feels to not have; as soon as I get in a position to donate, I will.”

Kenya is in a better place now. She’s working as a grill cook and has an apartment. Unfortunately, the apartment is empty of furniture and her children are sleeping on the floor.

kenya4Friends In Deed was able to help, and Kenya came by the warehouse and picked up a full bed and two twin beds.

“The children will be extremely happy. They finally have their own beds to sleep on!”
