In this heartfelt episode of The Hope Connection, host Nina speaks with Joanna and Jessica Boskis, devoted guardians of five children who found themselves without stable housing after an unexpected eviction. Determined to keep their family together, they spent time in motels before connecting with outreach services that led them to Haven for Hope’s Family Emergency Services program.

At Haven, Joanna and Jessica received the support they needed to rebuild stability for their family, from help with documentation and school supplies to clothing and reliable transportation for the children. They are now preparing to move into their new home, holding on to hope and gratitude as they continue their journey toward lasting stability.

Through their story, Joanna and Jessica remind us that homelessness can happen to anyone, but with compassion, support, and perseverance, families can find their footing again. Their message is one of resilience, love, and the importance of community understanding.

In this episode of The Hope Connection, host Nina sits down with Krystal Treviño, a devoted mother and determined woman rebuilding her life after experiencing homelessness. When Krystal lost her job as a restaurant manager, she faced unimaginable challenges, including the loss of stable housing and the temporary separation from her children. Returning to San Antonio, she found support and a pathway forward at Haven for Hope, where she accessed housing resources, job readiness programs, and family emergency services.

With determination and the help of Haven’s supportive programs, Krystal has regained employment, secured an apartment, and is preparing for a new chapter with her family. Her story is a powerful reminder that homelessness can happen to anyone, but with compassion, community, and persistence, recovery is possible.

“Homelessness can happen in the blink of an eye,” Krystal shares. “What matters is that you don’t give up.”

In this episode of The Hope Connection, we meet Karen, a South Campus client at Haven for Hope. Originally from Mexico, Karen built a career as a substance abuse counselor, dedicating her life to helping others. After facing her own struggles with alcohol, she experienced a period of instability that ultimately led to homelessness.

Karen has now been at Haven for a year, where she has embraced the services, community, and sense of safety offered on campus. She often connects with fellow clients, encouraging them to share their own stories, and hopes to one day return to her profession in counseling. Above all, Karen is grateful to feel seen, valued, and supported as she works toward her next chapter and, eventually, permanent housing.
