Maria moved into the Studio on October 1, 2008. Although she has the safety and security of a place to live she, lacks the household items necessary to really call her place home. The following is a list of what will help Maria get settled in:
-Sheets, blankets & pillows for a twin bed
-Towels & washcloths
-Dishes, silverware & household utensils
-A microwave (she has no stove)
-Cleaning supplies
-A love seat
-A small television
My Story
In 2001 Maria Justiniano became a client of Harbor Interfaith Services. Maria received services such as food and basic necessities for her and her daughter. In 2005, she became homeless and lost custody of her daughter. Maria had been living in motels, garages and even the streets. With a limited income , it’s almost impossible to live in a place called “home”. As the years went by, things did not get better. In November of 2007, Maria was diagnosed with Cancer of the Immune System. Since then, Harbor Interfaith Services has been helping her look for shelter. Maria had a pet dog with her, whom she cared for so much. Her dog was not just a pet, her doctor’s identified her dog as a service animal. She was unable to find shelter because no shelter would accept pets. Unwilling to give up her pet, the situation became even more difficult.
