Our Member, Triena, moving out on her own.

She had been living with her parents & her daughter. She is renting her new place which is a garden apartment that has two bedrooms and one bath.  She originally started the search back in November 2014 and finally received the apartment in May 2015 after the “long wait.”  She likes having her own place because she feels more independent and “can make her own decisions.”  The only negative is having to pay all the bills now.  She likes the whole new arrangement because it shows her independence and that her disability is not holding her back.  She has relearned some of her independent living skills from work done at The Denbigh House, from friends at her church and from her DARS counselor, Mrs. Natalie Opie-Dawson.  She thanks all of them for their help and support.
