A video doorbell for Angelique who wants to protect herself and her daughter

Posted Nov 27, 2021
Angelique lives in her home alone with her daughter. There was a recent shooting across the street from her residence. She would like to feel safe when she is at home and be able to view what goes on around the home. This video door bell will help her feel safer and be able to see the activity that goes on in her neighborhood.

Angelique is 26 years old and lives in TX

Angelique has grown up to be quite a responsible adult. She was in foster care since the age of 4 months and returned home at the age of 5. Although her mother completed all of her services, things were still rough for Angelique. Being "raised" by her foster parents the first few years really helped her overcome many things in her life. But growing up with her mother and being exposed to many negative behaviors, only led Angelique to make many of the same choices. When Angelique was only 17 years old, she received a knock on her door from the police stating that her mother had been killed in a car accident. She was devastated and realized that she needed to start taking responsibility for her actions and grow up because she was left to fend for herself. Her school counselor took her in and made sure she graduated high school and found a place to live. Since then she has become a mother of her own. She continues to struggle but strives to be a better mother than the one she had. Angelique likes to spend time with her daughter, listen to music and most of all bake.
