Jamye hit a low point in her life after losing her son in 2021. Jamye went through many months where she struggled with drinking and keeping a job. After finally reaching out to her aunt for help, Jamye entered Our House’s Shelter last year. Jamye has been working on campus in the Guard Shack where she enjoys meeting all different kinds of people coming through Our House’s gates, and she is proud to be a comforting presence when people come into the program. Jamye has taken advantage of AA and NA meetings held on campus to help with her mental health and recovery.
Jamye is moving into permanent housing with her other son and has a new job secured at Dollar General. While Jamye is teary eyed to be leaving Our House, she is excited to spend time again with her grandchildren as a new person. “I’ve learned how to be patient, humble, and have a bigger heart while here,” Jamye says. “My heart was already big, but Our House helped stitch my heart back together.”
