Gaps in employment:
This happened in 2000, I lived in an apartment about 2 years in Buffalo before I left a facility. I met up with my baby’s father and had another baby with him and we were together until 2011. We had a falling out and I lived in Group Homes until 2018. From 2018 to 2019 I lived with a different roommate in three different apartments. When I was able to live on my own, I moved into a place called the West Minister Commons in 2020. I started working and I was going to church before I moved back to Rochester.
