My family and I moved to Alpharetta back in March 2024 to find jobs and live! Me, my daughter, and grand daughters were living in between our car and hotels. My daughter was able to find a job in which we drove her every day and since she worked for a fast food place, we would eat there everyday for food. Eventually our car was repossessed because we were unable to make monthly payments. The car was our home when were not able to live in a hotel. I was looking for jobs, many jobs but never received any calls about an interview.
Now, our car was gone and my daughter lost her job as a result. Consequently, we can't live in the hotel anymore and now living on the streets in Alpharetta in parks and bus station stops with our dog.
We didn't have help, our family and friends knew our situation but refused to help. We walked the streets of Alpharetta everyday for months, 4 females, without protection, no food, no housing, no help, and no sympathy from onlookers, passing traffic or homeless shelters. Our situation was dire and it seemed no one card. People were judging us and couldn't help because they thought less of us due to our situation. No one thought to stop and ask us if we need help initially. However, we had a man who drove for lyft and a woman that attended a church in the area we walked, they stopped and asked if we were okay and offered some resources. We reached out to the resources and no one, I mean no one responded to our plead for help no other organizations. The only organization that responded expeditiously was St. Paul de Vincent. The representative was so nice, helpful, loving, and nonjudgmental. She called and sprung into action....that day they arranged for a hotel, uber ride, and food voucher. The most we had in months walking those streets.
We knew that we had to leave because we were not able to secure jobs therefore, our situation would have remained the same. So, I decided to email the representative at St. Paul de Vincent to ask if they help us get home. They called back the next day and got us an Uber back to our home town and before that gave us another food voucher.
This was the best experience I had with help in Alpharetta and frankly ever in life. I can't thank them enough for what they have done for 3 generations living out on the streets. THANK YOU
