A home is an important place for children during their formative years, as parents only want the best for their kids. Most people consider their houses as a safe space wherein they share many memories together, including those early stages of childhood.
However, there was one mother in Florida who struggled to keep a roof under her family members’ heads after she almost lost her husband, who had been providing financially for the rest of the family.
In a TikTok video shared by Mallory Ellis in March 2023, she detailed how her husband almost left them, but he was able to get through his medical problems after a big life-saving surgery which the family was very grateful for.
Unfortunately, the father of the household didn’t have any financial sources for over seven months, and the family struggled with their bills.
Ellis resorted to working two jobs, but it was not enough for them to keep their apartment, which led them to become homeless in January 2023.
Following the tragic situation, she, her husband, and their children left behind the place which they once considered their home.
Luckily for them, someone offered a spare room for them to live in temporarily as they couldn’t find other places to go due to the high rental prices in the state of Florida.
After living with the friend, they eventually decided to move into a hotel, which was exhausting for them as they had to check in and out of rooms on a daily basis.
Since her children are very young, Ellis mentioned in the video that she tried to always put a smile on her face whenever she was with her kids for them to feel secure.
