Kathryn Franklin: “I feel very safe and comforted here.”
In a house riddled with holes in the floor, mold on the walls and ceiling, bug infested and with no running water or power, 21 year old Kathryn Franklin knew she was in trouble. “It’s just falling apart. You can look in the closet and see straight through the wall to the outside.” The house belonged to her grandmother and has been with the family for many years. It may have been falling to pieces but so was the 21 year old’s spirit as she tried to raise her one-year old daughter, Taylor. While she questioned the direction her life was going one thing was certain though, Franklin knew she had to make a change.
Franklin’s life began to spiral downward several months earlier. A year ago, she moved from Mobile to Mississippi to start a new life with her boyfriend after he got a new job. They had been together for three years. Their plan was for him to work and Franklin to be a stay-at-home mom. Part of their plan materialized when she became pregnant. After having their daughter, Franklin decided to go to school to become a medical assistant. But her hopeful ambitions quickly shattered when the couple split. “He just left me” said Franklin.
With no home and a child to care for, a worried Franklin moved back to Mobile and ended up in her grandmother’s dilapidated house. “I had nothing but my clothes” she recounted. She tried staying with family and even a friend; however neither of those options proved to be a long-term place of refuge. There were times Franklin went days without food so she could feed her daughter.
“I went days without eating so I could feed my baby girl. My house was falling apart around us.”
Running out of options, she didn’t know what to do. “I called The Salvation Army looking for help, for shelter, anything. That’s when I learned about the Family Haven,” said Franklin. Before moving into the Family Haven, there were times Franklin went days without eating because there wasn’t enough food left over.
Since moving into the Family Haven, Franklin can focus mostly on getting a job, getting back in school and saving enough money to get her own place. More importantly, she likes the safe environment for her daughter Taylor. “I feel very safe and comforted here” she said. The peace of mind at the Family Haven has allowed Franklin to self reflect on the path she took to end up where she is. She’s learned to become more self-reliant. Long-term, she wants to become a nurse and have job security so she can take care of herself and her daughter.
