After living in a parking lot, high school sophomore Maria Christina Benitez has a bedroom for the first time in her life.
Tears of joy were hard to hide as it was not too long ago when Benitez and her family were homeless with nowhere to go. With no insurance nor a steady income, Benitez, her brother and their parents were forced to live underneath a simple canopy after a fire destroyed their Lincoln Heights apartment Through the generosity of the Red Cross and Sacred Heart Church, the family left the parking lot and moved into a hotel.
"I didn't think so much help would be offered and how far we got," said 17-year-old Gabriel Benitez."Thanks to everyone."
