Juana

Juana’s story is a testament to resilience in the face of adversity. With four children and another on the way, the sudden departure of her partner thrust her into financial turmoil. Despite holding down a steady job, she found herself on the brink of eviction due to significant rent arrears. Arlington Thrive’s Childcare Coordinator stepped in to secure affordable childcare, but the threat of homelessness loomed large. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Arlington Thrive’s Community Navigator and collaborative support from local resources, pledges were made to halt the eviction, allowing Juana and her children to remain in their home. ‘Arlington Thrive gave us hope when we needed it most,’ Juana reflects. Today, she’s actively engaged in securing her housing stability, a testament to the transformative impact of holistic support.
