The Quintana-Arroyo family (husband, wife and three sons) met The Salvation Army through Emergency Disaster Services after being displaced from Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria, forcing them to relocate to Florida. The family stayed in The Salvation Army’s Emergency Shelter and learned about the Pathway of Hope Initiative. Over time she found employment, followed by her husband, who began working at a Salvation Army board member's construction company. Through affiliation with a local community partner, the family was gifted a vehicle. With one son recently graduating high school and another in college, the family has been able to save over $7,000 and now are in the final stages of purchasing a home. The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope Initiative has helped the family to become financially stable, increase their credit score, and position themselves to become home owners. The Salvation Army provided the necessary tools and services to help this family re-establish their life while working cohesively with community partners toward meeting their goals.
