We're preparing the apartment for a single mom with a 10-month old son.
I don't know anything about this family--which is as it should be because they need their privacy. But I've been following Upward Bound House for a while through their website and newsletter and I've read many testimonials that familiarized me with the kinds stories that bring people here. Some moms flee domestic violence, other young parents have lost their own parents or extended families, and these days there are more and more two-parent families that find themselves homeless simply because mom and dad were both laid off for too long at the same time.
I imagine that the baby is probably sitting up and maybe starting to walk (but he probably won't be steady on his feet yet.) He can probably communicate in his own way but might be a few months from really "talking" with words.
For my 3oth b-day, I worked with Upward Bound Family Place to furnish an apartment for a formerly homeless LA family. I used this blog site to solicit funds, organize helpers, and show off our results. Thanks for visiting!
