The problem is the ends weren\u2019t meeting. I remember someone told me to call 2-1-1, but I didn\u2019t know what I would even call to say.\r\n\r\nOne particular day, my daughter didn\u2019t have enough to eat. I made the gut-wrenching decision to call her teacher to tell her why my daughter may appear hungry in class. After school, the teacher called me back to let me know they were sending us a variety of items from Hungry Howie\u2019s\u2014 that filled our bellies. To my surprise, the teacher also gave me the number to 2-1-1 and I finally decided to make a phone call that changed our lives.\r\n\r\nDuring the initial call, I was connected to a variety of resources. The care advocate got me thinking about other job opportunities that would allow me to sit, including working with the local school district. I applied and got a job at the Jr. High, which eventually led me to my current role, working in the Media Center at United Oaks Elementary School.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to employment, nothing\u2019s perfect, but this is perfect for me and I\u2019m here because 2-1-1 cared enough to ask me about my next steps\u2014 something no one had ever done before.\r\n\r\n2-1-1 is also the reason my daughter and I have stable housing. The coordinator asked me if I was signed up for subsidized housing. I hadn\u2019t but we were living with my mom and decided to give it a try. The waiting list was seven years, which sounds like forever, but it worked! After six years and two months, I moved into a place that\u2019s capped at 30% of my income.\r\n\r\nOver the years I\u2019ve called 2-1-1 for utility assistance and plenty of other things. One time, when I had a light and gas bill that I needed paid, the coordinator rushed everything so I wouldn\u2019t lose my lights. They call me Ms. Love, but it\u2019s 2-1-1 that\u2019s really showing love to the entire community.\r\n\r\nMy life is an entire 2-1-1 supported story and I refer other people to 2-1-1 all the time. I always say I should get a 2-1-1 shirt to tell the world that they are the best when it comes to resources\u2014 hands down. I tell everybody, don\u2019t call me, call 2-1-1.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">- Donnielle L., Hazel Park<\/p>","":null,"settings":""}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
