Eileen's COVID-19 Financial Recovery Program Success Story

4/20/2023

 

I am a divorced woman with no children, but I do have 5 dogs, one who suffers from seizures and is on medication. I love my beautiful single-story home on a double lot. The second lot has my vegetable garden. I grow quite a few vegetables, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. I try to be self-sustaining. I make jam and do a lot of canning, which I share with my friends and neighbors. I am a pizza cook at a nearby waterpark and I really enjoy it. I live a quiet life in a peaceful neighborhood and enjoy the company of my fur-babies.

How have you been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic?

My place of business shut down for 10 months due to COVID. Since then, nothing has been the same. My finances are a bit out of order and my friends don't really visit as much as I would like. I lost a coworker to COVID and several people I know have lost family members. It has just been a terrible thing to have happened. It has been very hard getting assistance.

How did Navicore Solutions housing counseling impact you?

Navicore has been a light in a tunnel. I finally have hope that I won't lose my home. My counselor, Lori, was such a nice person and was completely empathetic to my situation. I felt as though I was her only client. She explained everything so well in a language I could understand, and it was always a pleasure to speak with her.

How has Navicore Solutions impacted your future?

I feel like I have a future in my home now. This is my first home, and I would hate to lose it. It's a perfect fit for me. My counselor gave me excellent advice and resources for me to investigate to further my quest to stay in my home.

I lost my parents before my 22nd birthday and have been on my own since. I grew tired of renting and after 20 moves I just wanted a place to finally call MY home. Since COVID hit it has been a very bumpy journey, and now I have hope to be able to stay in my home.
