Home for a Mother and Daughter | FUNDED

The Way Home MT (TWHMT) secured a loan and is purchasing this property. Through a rental agreement with Nikki, it allowed her to have stable housing until she was ready to move on to another home!

For over 2 years, TWHMT sponsored Nikki, providing housing and mentoring in financial literacy, life and relationship skills as well as spiritual needs. 

Nikki has worked extremely hard to support her daughter and herself and will be completing her schooling as a certified elementary teacher.
