Sherizon Scott, her two-year-old son Hezekiah, and four-year-old daughter Zuri spent six months in a homeless shelter in 2017 before Scott found an affordable place to live.
From KERA:
Sherizon Scott says her life is on the right track, but it’s been a struggle to get there.
For years, Scott and her husband teetered on the edge of financial instability. They could take care of their growing family’s needs on their own, but only so long as everything went right, she says.
