A Day in the Life: Nicole, Homeless Mother Living in a Motel

Nicole’s day begins early, around 6:00 AM, in her small motel room, sunlight slipping through thin curtains. Breakfast is whatever she can manage without a kitchen, sometimes crackers, instant noodles, or a quick snack from a convenience store. Her first thought each morning is checking if she has enough money to cover another night, since motels often require daily or weekly payments, and the fear of being locked out is constant. Between 10:00 AM and 2:00 AM, caring for her children becomes the biggest challenge. With no playgrounds or safe spaces nearby, the kids are often confined indoors, and some miss school due to unreliable transportation or difficulties enrolling without a permanent address. Laundry and hygiene are constant struggles; Nicole sometimes washes clothes in the sink or must make do with the same outfits for days.

In the afternoon, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Nicole spends much of her time searching for resources, calling shelters, applying for jobs, or reaching out to charities and local programs, often facing long waiting lists that make progress slow. Meals remain limited and expensive, as food must be shelf-stable, microwaveable, or purchased daily, and Nicole sometimes goes without so her children can eat. Without a car, she and her kids rely on walking or long bus rides to get to where they need to go. By evening, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., financial stress weighs heavily; Nicole must decide whether to pay for another night, buy food, or save other needs. The children are restless from being confined all day, and she works hard to keep them calm and hopeful despite the uncertainty.

Once her children are asleep, from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM, Nicole often stays awake, hungry and anxious, searching for solutions. Some nights she spends hours online filling out applications, looking for work, or seeking aid. Sleep is short, and the mental toll of not knowing what tomorrow will bring is exhausting. Yet despite the fear, fatigue, and uncertainty, Nicole continues to push forward, determined to protect and provide for her children.

While this story is fictional, it reflects the real-life experiences of many of the individuals and families we serve.

A Day in the Life: Keisha, a Single Mother of Three

Keisha’s day starts at 5:30 AM in a chilly apartment. The heat’s been off, and the utility bill is overdue again. She quietly moves past her three sleeping children ages 4, 7, and 10, trying not to wake them as she boils water for oatmeal on the stove.

By 6:45 AM, she’s dressing the kids in hand-me-downs, packing basic lunches, and trying to keep spirit high despite the stress. Groceries were skipped this week to cover part of the rent, and the fridge is almost empty. The morning involves three bus rides, first to the elementary school, then daycare, and finally her job at a fast-food restaurant. She’s scheduled for only 25 hours this week. It’s not enough, but it’s all they offer. On her break, she checks her phone, no updates from housing assistance, just a voicemail from the landlord. After work, she picks up the kids, gets them home, and helps with homework. Dinner is leftovers. The lights stay off in empty rooms to save power. A small leak in the kitchen still hasn’t been fixed.

By 9:00 PM, the kids are in bed. She opens her laptop to search for second jobs and assistance programs. She’s tired but determined, praying the lights will still be on tomorrow and that somehow, she can keep her kids safe, warm, and hopeful.
