Serving Spokane

Jennifer had already done the hard things. She left a toxic relationship, stayed in recovery, and everyday kept showing up – for her daughter, for herself, and for the people she worked alongside as a hotel housekeeping supervisor. In fact, she was always the last one there, finishing up rooms, stepping into laundry, front desk or maintenance when needed. While she was showing up for everyone else, she was facing a crisis of her own: housing. She was living paycheck to paycheck in a shared household with a friend, helping cover the rent, while her 10-year-old daughter stayed with extended family. With fifth grade just around the corner, Jennifer was running out of time to find a place of their own together.

A coworker who had experienced Big Table’s care saw how hard Jennifer was working and knew she didn’t have to face the gap alone. After being referred, Big Table helped remove one of the biggest barriers: the apartment application fee and deposit. Jennifer took it from there, covering the monthly rent herself. Before she knew it, they had keys—and her daughter had a new home and a school to come back to. There’s a lot that comes with starting over. As Jennifer begins settling in, finding a new rhythm, and looking toward what comes next, she doesn’t have to do that alone. Big Table will keep showing up alongside her as she builds this next chapter.
