Local Woman Helped by Sleeping in Cars Fundraiser

It might not seem like having a safe place to live makes that much of a difference, but ask Angie Wilson and she'll tell you it absolutely does.For most of her life, struggle has been one of the only constants Wilson has known. Born into a family where substance abuse was rampant and untreated, she eventually found herself growing up in foster care.Over time, Wilson too, became addicted to alcohol and her life was consumed with her addiction and barely getting by. Once she had her three children, the walls began to close in and the lies she told herself and others finally caught up with her. Unemployed, with bills piling up and no way to pay them, she literally dropped to the floor in full-blown panic attack. Then, on her sister's prodding, reached out to Places 4 People. Wilson applied for housing assistance with P4P.Wilson's story exemplifies what Places for People is all about and why the upcoming fundraising event, Sleeping in Cars on Friday, March 27th is so critically important to the organization.
