The Elliott’s

“Since we came here, they’ve helped us keep a roof over our kid’s heads”

The Elliott family had dreams of a simple, peaceful life. Unfortunately, like so many others, a tough economy forced Jeremiah Elliott to seek a better life for his wife and three small children. Furthermore, Jeremiah’s abusive father threatened not only his marriage to Kim, but also the safety of his kids. So, despite having little money saved and very few prospects for the future, Jeremiah and Kim decided to seek a better life in central Florida, where no one could threaten their family any longer.

WATCH THEM TELL THEIR STORY

A friend of the Elliott’s suggested they stop in to the Community Food & Outreach Center in hopes of getting a helpful hand up during their difficult transition. After consulting with crisis staff, the Elliott’s were able to receive help with food, medical, as well as resume help for Kim as she tries to find a job. Meanwhile, Jeremiah enrolled in Mechanics school in an attempt to better his family’s life.

The Elliott’s credit the Community Food & Outreach with helping to “keeping a roof over ours and our kids’ heads”.

UPDATE: Upon receiving a reference from our crisis counselor Stacy Glover, Kim Elliott was hired by the New York International Bread Company located on 1500 West Church street Orlando, Florida.
