BETHANY HOUSE

Fay Bracy

My name is Fay Bracy. I live in North College Hill. I'm here to share my story to encourage people and let them know that after homelessness, there's a brighter side. There's another side after homelessness. Looking at me, you may think that I have it all together, but I do not. But what they should know is that I just kept pressing on and. I was at the Bethany House myself 26 years ago.

So just keep going. Keep pressing.

What makes home powerful to me is being in a safe space. So, this is the back of my home. I was out here cutting on the bamboos, taking care of my space, getting ready to cut the grass. And of course, this is my dog, Coco. I wish I can put her to work, but actually she is at work. She's working, help creating my peace.
