Tisha's Story
My Journey
I became a single mom when I was still married. Although things were far from perfect, I told myself I had taken the vow and had to make it work, plus I didn’t want to be a burden on my folks if I left. When my 2 sons were born, both had a lot of health issues and many surgeries, which put even more stress on the relationship. I left my ex-husband several times, beginning when my second son was 6 months old.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree and was looking for a part time job as I couldn’t afford before and after school child care, but everyone said I was overqualified and that I wouldn’t stay and refused to offer me a job. Another single mom friend told me to look into a part time merchandising job so I applied. They also said I was overqualified but I talked them into hiring me!
Growing up back East and working with my folks in the antiques business, I had a knack for this sort of thing and it helped pay our utilities. Friends helped out with side jobs and babysitting opportunities as well. Without these side businesses I didn’t have enough to cover utilities, even though I qualified for low income discounts. Between the work and child support I was receiving, it put me right in the gap above poverty, where not much assistance was available. I was looking at Section 8 housing, but the waiting lists were incredibly long.
My luck changed when I was very fortunate to get promoted 6 months after started. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing because I now have 2 amazing sons who are my world. After experiencing all of these challenges firsthand and speaking to so many other single moms and moms in bad relationships with similar experiences, it made me realize that I had to do something about it!
This is my inspiration for SHE IS HOPE LA!
