GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) -A mother of five attended a resource fair for homeless families one day after she and her children spent their first night without stable housing.
Sandi and her children, ages 3, 6, 8, 9 and 10, spent their first night homeless sleeping at a local park. Less than 24 hours later, she attended the Summer Family Homelessness Resource Fair in Gainesville.
“Yesterday was our first day sleeping at the park, me and my five children,” Sandi said. “I’m just showing them how to navigate through the situation. This can happen to anyone, this can happen to them when they get older, while they’re small and it happens. But we’re together.
