A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Day Day and her husband Glory live in a cramped two-bedroom apartment with their two daughters and her elderly father. Originally from Thailand, the family came to the United States as refugees leaving a difficult situation back home.
Day Day works from home and takes care of her husband, children and father in the tiny apartment. Day Day, Glory and the girls share one room, and her father sleeps in the other. With the apartment on the third floor, Day Day needs to carry her husband up and down the external stairs in order to get him to his appointments.
The family is very much looking forward to having more space. More area for the maneuverability of Glory’s wheelchair. More room to study and have some privacy. And more opportunities to be together as a family, playing games and making each other laugh. With their new house being close to school, the kids can’t wait to meet the neighbors and make new friends.
