Imani

Imani is a single mother who worked as a desk clerk and lives in a family shelter. She uses her guaranteed income funds to get her 5-year-old son to and from school, while also keeping food on their plates.

“I feel good, I feel great, I feel thankful because me and my son live in a family shelter, so the money was really appreciated. I was able to get us food whenever we needed it. I still have some saved up and it’s just really appreciated. I’m able to get my son to school every day.”

“Having that extra support and knowing that there’s people out there like me and I’m not alone, and just to know that people have our back…It’s ok to open up to people. It’s ok to be open-minded. And it’ll help my community…My voice might be for someone who doesn’t know how to open up.”
