Pamela Williams is now paying it forward through her own organization, Journey Out of Homelessness, which focuses on helping families find a place to stay. MORE ⬇️
"I felt like I was worth nothing. I was depressed because again, I had a disabled son and I had my grandchildren and my daughter and we were just out there," said Williams."In an instant, yes. Due to a car accident, I couldn't pay my rent. Five-day notice came. After five-day notice you were booted out. Sheriff would come by if you ain't gone, they kick you out. Put all your stuff on the street," said Williams.
The organization helps people like Sheaneil Booker, who became homeless after taking in her five nieces and nephews and then was forced from her home because of safety concerns. "These are families. These are children. These are me. People who are employable. People who... I was a business owner. I stepped in to do something that was right for these children and because of that I was displaced. They were displaced. It shouldn't take this long in order for us to get help. It shouldn't take them. I feel bad feeling like any day they could wake up and be taken from me," said Booker."We just helped a young lady last night.
