Tonya experienced a setback when she was asked to leave transitional housing due to certain behaviors. Upon reflection, she identified that these behaviors were a side effect of a medication she was taking.
After discontinuing the medication, Tonya’s emotional stability improved significantly over the following weeks. With the support of her case manager, Tonya has made substantial progress. She has moved in with her daughter while she is renovating a trailer. Tonya now works part-time and is actively seeking medical care for her condition.
Additionally, she has completed the Coordinated Entry Assessment and applied for Section 8 housing. Through consistent case management support, Tonya has achieved stability and now looks forward to a hopeful future.
Thanks to generous donors like you, United Way of the Black Hills is able to make stories like this possible!
