Meet Annette!
Annette (pictured right, with PATH Program Manager Jazmin on the left) is a second-generation jewelry maker and a widowed single mother. Her husband was an author and owned a bookshop, and they resided in a home in Silver Lake. After his passing, she struggled to support herself and eventually lost their family home. She then moved into her car and spent her days volunteering at a thrift store to cope with her new reality. Initially hesitant to reach out to an interim housing facility, she eventually sought the help she needed. She resided in the interim housing for a few months before being connected with PATH. A few months later, Annette was able to transition into her own apartment at PATH Metro Villas, a permanent supportive housing site. Now that she is settled in her home, she enjoys doing manicures, collecting vintage clothing, and making jewelry and homemade candy. 🍬
