Success Stories 

Hear from just a few of the many people The Arkansas Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) has helped.

 

“If you could see my tears through this message!! I am a single mother of two boys and life hit me unexpectedly. I am humbled to have the peace of mind that my two very small boys have a shelter. I thank God for His Grace over my life, that He would bring resources like Arkansas HAF. I am forever grateful for you all. God bless you abundantly. Psalm 46:1-3”

“I am a single 53 yr old female, a sole proprietor of a hair and nail studio for 33 years in the small community of Hiwasse Arkansas. I earn a less than modest income in my trade and I’ve managed to sustain a simple life although balancing on the cusp of maintaining/ loss is always lingering in my mind and Covid wiped me out. I have a little land I purchased in 1988 with a little house I built myself, where I raised my daughter and grow a little food. My home and business are all I have. The assistance I received in March of 2022 saved my home and spirit. The uncertainty stemming from the pandemic, the loss of income, uncontrollable inflation along with the social dynamics affecting business trade created a sense of helplessness a situation I just couldn’t fix myself. The Mortgage assistance provided to me helped me keep my home, and ease the emotional toll thus enabling me to stay focused and be present & clear-minded in order to operate my business effectively and be strong for my community. I’m so proud to be an American. Thank you.”
