While recovering from a serious medical emergency, Tonya found herself in an abusive relationship for the second time and knew she had to leave for good, even if it meant losing the place she called home. Courageously, she dialed 2-1-1, and was told about ACCESS. 

Shelly arrived at ACCESS from Michigan after fleeing a domestic violence situation and experiencing her identity being stolen. She was determined to get back on her feet and create a home for her children.

Before arriving at ACCESS, Alexa had custody of only two of her children, was home insecure, and struggled with addiction, but she knew she wanted to make a better life for herself.

Kristen is a single mother of twin boys. Before coming to ACCESS her life was chaotic. After a serious car accident, she lost her job and was evicted from her apartment.
