This is a photo of a woman we met recently that was about to be evicted from her home. Her name is Wanda Jefferies. She is ex-military and moved to Atlanta two years ago from Washington. She got a job at the VA library, but was laid off because of reduction in staff and she was one of the last new hires. She had just bought a home and these two little toy poodles that are the love of her life. She is missing her front teeth and she really believe that is why no one will hire her for a respectable job. She finally got a job in cleaning at the Atlanta Airport, but was once again layed off because of all the aviation cutbacks. She now rents one room in a triplex, and the other tenants do not like her dogs...she fell behind on rent so was suppose to have to move out.
Her plans were to move in to the Salvation Army, but they do not allow pets. That is when she called us to see if we could help her find someone who could foster her dogs until she could find a job and get back on her feet.
We went over and met her...such a beautiful person...educated...sensitive and brought her pet food so she could stay with her dogs. We are sure we will be able to help her in many ways including finding a job...and hopefully a better place to live where they are all welcome.
