My name is Crystal Currie. I am a single mother in the United States Marine Corps. I came to Quantico, VA (from Okinawa, Japan) on 29 September 1998. I was 6 months pregnant, scared and ready to get out the Marine corps. Once I arrived in Virginia, I was placed in Base Housing. I paid out of my pocket, 75% of the rent with out furniture of any kind. I had just gotten here and didn’t know what to do or who to ask for anything. I was then told about this organization called H. E. L. P. (Helping Enlisted Lives Prosper). A lady by the name of Lisa came to visit me at the barracks and told me all about herself and the organization. She then took me to a garage sale and I picked out a lot of baby things such as: baby bed, baby swing, car seat, clothes, bottles, toys, baby chair, etc. She also had some furniture for the house. I had gotten end tables, couch, chairs, kitchen tables, dressers, beds, etc. She then took me shopping for groceries and for other necessary needs for the house. I had gotten my confidence back and took a long look at my life realizing what I can do if I put my mind to it.
