In Her Own Words
My name is Nichole, I’m 44 and was born and raised in Fairfax County. Both of my parents were active alcoholics and addicts when I was growing up. They were abusive physically and mentally to each other and my mom was abusive to my sister and me. Mental illness ran rampant on both sides of my family.
Sadly, after a series of traumatic experiences, in January 2010 with 18 inches of snow on the ground, I became homeless. It was just me and a tent in the woods in Woodbridge, VA. I spent the next five years homeless in snow, ice, hurricanes, and with abusive men.
Looking back, I don’t know how much longer I would have survived on the streets. I was mentally and spiritually broken. Pathways helped me manage my mental and physical health. Being given this opportunity restored so much of my faith. Having a clean environment, a real bathroom, working kitchen and bed to sleep in has been a blessing.
