The holidays are much brighter this year for a Southern California mother and her young daughter after months of uncertainty and hardship. Kioka Hampton and her daughter, Paris, had been living out of their car following the death of Hampton’s grandmother, a loss that left the small family without stable housing.
With limited resources and few options, Hampton focused on keeping her daughter safe while searching for a way forward. That turning point came through the help of Holliday’s Helping Hands, a nonprofit dedicated to providing housing, job training, and support services to families in need. Just days before Christmas, the organization surprised Hampton and her daughter with something life-changing: a fully furnished apartment of their own, reports ABC7 Los Angeles.
