In December of 2014, Tauri’s world was at a breaking point. She was depressed and desperate to end the relationship she’d been in for more than five years, but with the holidays approaching, she didn’t know where to turn.

Though she knew that leaving her children’s father would leave her homeless, she made the difficult decision to remove her kids from what had become a toxic environment.

They moved into Laura’s Home just before Christmas, and Tauri quickly fit in to her new environment. What unfolded over the next year and a half (and continues to unfold) is an amazing story of grace, hope and new life.

Watch her story here. See how Laura’s Home gave Tauri the skills she needed to lead her family into a brand new future, and hear how the Lord blessed her with a home for life through the New Horizons program! Tauri was the first woman in the New Horizons program to have the deed fully transferred to her name, making her a homeowner and breaking the cycle of poverty for her family. We hope many other moms and kids from Laura’s Home will have this opportunity, as more partners join in to build New Horizons homes!

Every year, hundreds of people Tauri will reach out to The City Mission for help. To hear more about the life-changing work of the Mission, follow the link below, and join us in prayerfully supporting our guests throughout every season.
