Success story

Pregnant and homeless, with less than $20 in her pocket and all her belongings in the bags she carried, Mikida wandered the streets of Seattle wary and alert. She slept at bus stops or in a hospital waiting room, but mostly she walked, even at night, feeling that a person on the move is less vulnerable than one who is idle.

"I had nowhere to go. No home, no job, no car," she said. Three years later, Mikida's voice still quivers with emotion when talking about that time in her life.

Eventually, after a few weeks on the streets, a stranger took Mikida into her home, where she lived for a short time before finding transitional housing. Once she had a roof over her head, Mikida needed a job.  She turned to Multi-Service Center's THRIVE program.
