Amber Rentie is a single mother with a six year old daughter who recently enrolled into Harbor Interfaith Services' shelter program. Amber is currently working hard as a student at Long Beach Community College and needs a few things to get started in her apartment: 1) a couch 2) a bed (she currently shares a twin sized bed with her daughter) 3) extra blankets and sheets for a twin sized bed 4) silverware 5) women's clothing (pants size 16-18; shoes 8-8 1/2; medium shirts) 6) girl's clothing (pants size 6x; shirts size 6; shoes 12).
My Story Before entering Harbor Interfaith Services, Amber and her daughter shared an apartment with her boyfriend. After he was laid off the family found it hard to make rent and eventually got evicted with Amber and her boyfriend going their separate ways. When Amber's next living situation resulted in conflicts with a new roommate, she was faced with the decision to leave and start anew again. Amber enrolled in Harbor Interfaith in December and is now pursuing a degree in Human Support Services. She hopes to eventually be able to work with at risk youth or disabled adults.
